Knee Pain
You don’t have to suffer through knee pain. Any time you experience significant knee pain that doesn’t go away on its own, you can make an appointment at the Washington Center for Pain Management. If you’re involved in an accident associated with your knee pain or suspect an injury or a broken bone, it’s important to see a doctor right away.

When Should I See a Doctor About Knee Pain?
In critical cases, the following criteria warrant a trip to the doctor:
- Dislocation
- Fracture
- Torn Meniscus
- Torn anterior cruciate ligament
- Tendonitis
- Bursitis
- Arthritis
- Complex regional pain syndrome
In less serious cases, the following criteria warrant a trip to the doctor:
- Knee pain doesn’t dissipate or disappear on its own after several days
- Your knee can’t bear any weight
- Notable swelling appears around your knee
- Your knee can’t bend or extend in its normal range of motion
Even small injuries to the knee can make you more susceptible to repeated knee injuries, so it’s essential to see a doctor for both treatment and prevention.
What Treatments Are Available for Knee Pain?
Treatment for knee pain depends on the type and location of its source and is personalized on a case-by-case basis. The treatment for arthritis, for example, is vastly different than treatment related to a fracture.
The providers at Washington Center for Pain Management use an advanced, multidisciplinary approach to pain and incorporate regenerative medicine and other methods to relieve your pain, such as:
- Nerve blocks
- Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy
- Steroid injections
- Stem cell therapy
No knee pain is untreatable. If you’re ready to find relief, contact the practice by calling the office directly or requesting your initial consultation online.
