The knee is the most commonly injured joint in adolescent and young adult athletes, but knee trouble is a problem that spans all ages. As experts in sports medicine and orthopedic injuries, the physicians at Bluetail Medical Group have extensive experience helping patients recover from knee injuries using regenerative therapies.
What Causes Knee Pain?
It's not hard to understand why your knee is susceptible to injury. Your knee bears the weight of your body, is subjected to repetitive movements as you walk, and endures the stress of quick stops and turns during sports. Common causes of knee pain include ligament injuries (such as ACL tears), meniscus tears, tendonitis, arthritis, and bursitis. The type of injury and its severity determine the best treatment approach.
How Can Regenerative Medicine Help?
Regenerative therapies stimulate your body's natural healing response and promote the growth of new, healthy tissue. When injected into the knee, these treatments can repair ligament and meniscus damage, reduce arthritis symptoms, and restore normal function. Many patients avoid surgery altogether with regenerative treatments.
What to Expect with Treatment
Treatment is performed in our office under local anesthesia using ultrasound guidance for maximum accuracy. You can typically return to light activities immediately and gradually increase your activity level as your knee heals. To learn whether you're a good candidate for these advanced treatments, schedule an appointment online, call the office in Naples, Florida, or contact one of the locations in Chesterfield or Columbia, Missouri.
