In Kennesaw, where active lifestyles are the norm—from local athletes and busy professionals to retirees staying active in retirement—knee pain can be more than just a discomfort. It can be a barrier to daily life, productivity, and mobility.
Whether it’s a runner training along the trails of Swift-Cantrell Park, a weekend golfer at Cobblestone, or a hardworking tradesperson who spends hours on their feet, knee pain is a common complaint in our community. Even aging adults managing arthritis or prior injuries often find themselves limited by chronic stiffness or swelling in their joints.
Knee pain is often the result of inflammation, injury, or degenerative joint disease—and in many cases, it can be effectively managed without going under the knife. Early intervention with targeted, non-surgical treatments like knee pain injections can reduce inflammation, restore mobility, and delay or even prevent the need for joint replacement.
At Medici Orthopaedics & Spine, we believe that every individual deserves access to care that is both effective and conservative. Our focus is on minimally invasive, drug-sparing therapies that allow you to return to the things you love—without long recoveries or major procedures.
Located right here in Kennesaw, Medici Orthopaedics & Spine is proud to serve as a trusted partner for patients seeking long-term relief from joint and spine pain. We approach knee pain with a personalized, evidence-based strategy that may include injections, physical therapy, regenerative medicine, or a combination of therapies—all designed to work synergistically to bring real, lasting relief.
One of the leading causes of knee pain in adults over 50, osteoarthritis results from the gradual wear and tear of joint cartilage. As the cushioning between bones deteriorates, pain, stiffness, and swelling become more frequent. For many, knee injections like hyaluronic acid or corticosteroids can provide significant relief by reducing inflammation and improving joint lubrication.
The meniscus is a rubbery, C-shaped cartilage that acts as a shock absorber in your knee. Tears are common in athletes and active adults and can cause sharp pain, locking, or instability. Depending on severity, meniscus tears can often be managed non-surgically with a combination of injections and physical therapy, especially when surgery is not immediately necessary.
Whether from sports injuries or high-impact trauma, damage to the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) or medial collateral ligament (MCL) can result in intense pain, swelling, and loss of function. While some ligament tears require surgery, many partial tears and sprains benefit from regenerative injections like PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) to accelerate healing and reduce downtime.
Also known as “jumper’s knee,” this condition causes inflammation in the tendon connecting your kneecap to your shinbone. It’s common among runners, basketball players, and active individuals. Non-surgical treatments such as targeted corticosteroid or prolotherapy injections can significantly reduce inflammation and pain in this area.
Knee bursitis occurs when the small, fluid-filled sacs (bursae) that cushion your joints become inflamed. This can result from overuse, trauma, or pressure on the joint. When rest and anti-inflammatory medications aren’t enough, precisely placed injections can help relieve pain and allow the inflammation to resolve more quickly.
Some patients continue to experience pain even after knee surgery. Scar tissue, nerve irritation, or ongoing inflammation may be the culprit. At Medici, we offer advanced pain management techniques including nerve blocks and regenerative injections to address post-operative discomfort without relying on addictive medications.
Unlike osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune condition that causes the body to attack its own joints. It can lead to chronic inflammation and long-term joint damage. For patients living with RA or similar inflammatory diseases, regularly scheduled injections can help control symptoms, minimize flare-ups, and preserve mobility.
Knee pain injections are targeted, minimally invasive treatments designed to reduce inflammation, relieve pain, and improve joint function in patients dealing with acute or chronic knee conditions. These injections deliver medication or regenerative substances directly into or around the knee joint, providing faster, more effective relief than oral medications or general therapies.
At Medici Orthopaedics & Spine in Kennesaw, we use advanced imaging guidance—such as ultrasound or fluoroscopy—to ensure pinpoint accuracy, optimizing the benefits while minimizing risks and recovery time.
Unlike surgery, which can require hospitalization, general anesthesia, and extended recovery, knee pain injections are performed in-office, often in under 30 minutes. There is no incision, no general anesthesia, and typically minimal downtime—allowing you to get back to your day with little interruption.
Corticosteroids are powerful anti-inflammatory medications that provide rapid relief for patients experiencing pain and swelling due to arthritis, bursitis, or tendonitis. These injections are especially helpful for flare-ups or when knee pain is significantly limiting mobility.
Best suited for: Osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and inflammatory knee conditions.
Hyaluronic acid is a natural substance found in healthy joint fluid. In patients with osteoarthritis, the knee joint loses this cushion-like lubrication, leading to stiffness and pain. Viscosupplementation involves injecting hyaluronic acid directly into the joint to improve its fluid balance and reduce friction.
Best suited for: Degenerative knee conditions where cartilage wear is a major factor.
PRP therapy is an exciting, non-surgical treatment that uses a concentration of your own platelets to stimulate natural healing. After drawing a small amount of your blood, we isolate the platelets and inject them into the knee to encourage tissue regeneration, reduce inflammation, and promote long-term recovery.
Best suited for: Meniscus tears, tendon injuries, early-stage arthritis, and chronic inflammation.
Prolotherapy is a regenerative technique that involves injecting a small amount of an irritant solution—often dextrose—into ligaments, tendons, or joints. This prompts the body’s natural healing response, strengthening and repairing damaged soft tissue over time.
Best suited for: Chronic ligament injuries, tendonitis, joint instability, and mild arthritis.
This minimally invasive procedure targets the genicular nerves, which are responsible for transmitting pain from the knee to the brain. By blocking these nerves with local anesthetic or applying heat via radiofrequency ablation, we can interrupt the pain signals and provide lasting relief.
Best suited for: Chronic knee pain, post-surgical knee pain, and advanced osteoarthritis.
Stem cell injections use mesenchymal stem cells—often harvested from the patient’s own bone marrow or adipose tissue—to promote regeneration of cartilage and damaged tissues. This approach is still considered investigational by some insurers, but it offers exciting possibilities for patients looking to delay surgery and harness the body’s own healing potential.
Best suited for: Early to moderate osteoarthritis, cartilage thinning, and sports injuries.
