Chronic Knee Pain Treatment
Chronic knee pain affects millions of Americans and can significantly impact quality of life. At IYA Medical, we offer comprehensive evaluation and advanced minimally invasive treatments for knee pain, including innovative procedures like Genicular Artery Embolization (GAE).
Understanding Chronic Knee Pain
The knee is one of the most complex joints in the body, and chronic knee pain can arise from various causes. Our specialists take a comprehensive approach to diagnose the underlying cause and develop an effective treatment plan.
Common Causes of Chronic Knee Pain
- Osteoarthritis: The most common cause, involving wear and tear of cartilage
- Rheumatoid arthritis: An autoimmune condition affecting joint lining
- Meniscus tears: Damage to the cartilage that cushions the knee
- Ligament injuries: ACL, PCL, MCL, or LCL damage
- Tendinitis: Inflammation of tendons around the knee
- Bursitis: Inflammation of fluid-filled sacs in the knee
- Baker's cyst: A fluid-filled cyst behind the knee
Our Approach to Treatment
We believe in a stepwise approach, starting with conservative options and progressing to more advanced treatments as needed:
Conservative Treatments
- Physical therapy and exercise
- Weight management
- Anti-inflammatory medications
- Bracing and orthotics
Minimally Invasive Procedures
