Knee Pain in Manhattan, NY

The knee is one of the most used and versatile joints in the body. It is also the joint that is the most likely to be injured and deteriorate due to wear and tear. Knee pain can limit your activities, from playing sports and participating in leisure activities to performing daily tasks. There are various sources of knee pain that require different knee pain treatments. The knee joint can pivot in different ways to allow you to switch directions, jump, climb and run. The ligaments, tendons and muscles that support the knee can be torn or damaged, causing pain and limiting mobility.

One of the most common causes of chronic knee pain is osteoarthritis. The knee joint is under extreme stress and is commonly a joint affected by arthritis. Arthritis is not curable, but the inflammation can be managed, and there are advanced options in non-surgical orthopedics to slow the deterioration of the cartilage and joint. Our interventional pain specialists at Ospina Medical also offer steroid injections that help limit inflammation and pain when indicated. We also utilize regenerative medicine options like injections to stimulate healing and slow joint degeneration.

There are a number of different ways in which knee pain and injury can present for a patient including pain surrounding the joint, swelling (effusion), redness, baker’s cyst, limited range of motion and difficulty walking, running, or climbing stairs. Our physicians at Ospina Medical will do a thorough history, examination, and indicated diagnostic studies such as ultrasound, x-ray, and MRI to get the exact cause of your knee pain in order to provide a treatment plan tailored to your specific injury or condition.
