Spine Care and Pain Management's 10 Atlanta area clinics are now offering nonoperative knee pain treatments.
Here are five things to know:
1. These treatments could result in long-term relief.
2. Double-board-certified knee pain specialists manage the treatments.
3. Viscosupplementation with hyaluronic acid injections has provided more than 80 percent of patients with six to 12 months of pain relief.
4. Radiofrequency ablation involves deadening sensor nerves around the knee with thermal energy. Patients could experience more than a year of relief.
5. Platelet rich plasma therapy involves spinning a blood sample, which creates concentrated platelets and growth factors. These are injected into the knee.
