Knee Arthroscopy
If knee pain persists despite rest, medications, or physical therapy, knee arthroscopy offers both diagnosis and treatment through tiny incisions. This advanced procedure helps active adults and athletes return to pain-free movement faster than traditional surgery.
Key Benefits:
Precise Diagnosis: HD camera visualization identifies meniscus tears, ligament damage, or cartilage wear
Immediate Treatment: Repair damaged tissue during the same procedure
Faster Recovery: Walk the same day with 1-2 week return to light activities
Minimal Scarring: Three incisions smaller than a button
Common Conditions Treated:
• Meniscus tears (repair or trim)
• ACL/PCL injuries
• Cartilage damage
• Loose bone fragments
• Persistent inflammation
What to Expect:
30-60 minute outpatient procedure under anesthesia
Same-day discharge with recovery instructions
Customized rehab plan to restore strength and mobility
Most patients experience significant improvement within 6-12 weeks. Our orthopedic specialists will evaluate if arthroscopy fits your needs and explain all options during a consultation.
For Back Pain Sufferers:
When chronic back pain resists conventional treatments, diagnostic nerve blocks and facet joint injections serve dual purposes - they help identify your precise pain source while often providing therapeutic relief.
Procedure Options:
Facet Joint Injections: Deliver anti-inflammatory medication directly to arthritic joints (weeks-months relief)
Medial Branch Blocks: Diagnostic tool to confirm nerve involvement (hours-days relief)
Why These Help:
✓ Isolate exact pain generators
✓ Guide long-term treatment plans
✓ Potentially avoid surgery
✓ 30-minute procedures with minimal downtime
Our pain management team will recommend the most appropriate approach after a thorough evaluation of your symptoms and imaging results.
Key Advantages of Both Approaches:
• Minimally invasive alternatives to surgery
• Quick procedures with same-day recovery
• Customizable to your specific condition
• Diagnostic and therapeutic benefits combined
