Knee Pain Treatment for Active Individuals in Monroe Township, NJ

Your knee pain may require treatment if it came on suddenly or is preventing you from walking or performing other physical activities. Additionally, you should seek medical attention if your knee is hot, red, or swollen, which could be a sign of infection. Knee pain that persists for several weeks or longer should also be assessed by a physician.

In Monroe Township, NJ, you can entrust your knee pain treatment to the orthopedic experts at New Jersey Joints. Our team includes board-certified, fellowship-trained knee surgeons, sports medicine specialists, and physical therapists who specialize in the rehabilitation of knee injuries. Using the latest techniques and technologies, we continually fine-tune our approach to help ensure that our patients achieve the best possible outcome.

Prior to recommending a specific type of knee pain treatment, our team will fully assess the underlying cause of the discomfort. Many common knee injuries, such as arthritis, sprains, and tendonitis, often respond well to conservative therapy. At our state-of-the-art orthopedic center in Monroe Township, New Jersey, we offer a full range of treatment options, including:

• Individualized physical therapy
• Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs)
• Custom bracing
• Therapeutic massage
• Dry needling
• Fluoroscopic-guided knee injections

On the other hand, a relatively serious knee condition, such as a torn meniscus, fracture, or dislocation, may require surgical repair, such as arthroscopic knee surgery or a joint replacement. When appropriate, our knee surgeons can perform advanced, minimally invasive procedures that involve small, “buttonhole” incisions in the knee. From a patient’s perspective, this surgical approach offers a number of advantages over traditional open surgery, mainly because smaller incisions can result in less pain and scarring, a shorter hospital stay, and a faster recovery.
