Additional treatments for knee pain we offer include:
Your personalized care plan may include injections of steroids or other pain medications. Steroids help relieve pain from inflammation within the joint. Other injections may consist of substances that lubricate the joint so that the moving parts glide smoothly. We may also recommend gentle exercise to ease stiffness and prevent symptoms from worsening. Learn about other nonsurgical orthopedic treatments.
Certified physical therapists use a variety of techniques to relieve pain and stiffness. We guide you through gentle stretches that loosen tight bands of tissue. Sessions may also include strengthening exercises. We can help you get stronger and healthier, even if you have never exercised.
Knee stiffness raises your fall risk. Physical therapists show you techniques and simple tools that help keep you safe while you go about your day. We also teach you how to identify and avoid fall risks. Get more information about physical therapy.

When surgery is necessary, we offer minimally invasive techniques like arthroscopy that are gentler on your body. Arthroscopy involves small incisions. The surgeon passes a narrow tube (arthroscope) through one of them. A light and camera at the tip enable us to view inside the knee joint. The surgeon inserts instruments through another incision. Arthroscopy allows us to carry out procedures that previously required large incisions.
We also deliver high-quality traditional open surgery (with longer incisions). Our patient-centered approach helps you feel prepared and cared for every step of the way. Read more about orthopedic surgery and arthroscopy.
