Knee Gel Injections
Non-surgical knee pain relief that works!
At the Joint Relief Institute, we replace the worn cartilage in your knee joint with a fresh, plump cushion made from the same natural substance found in healthy joints. Our advanced gel injection therapy provides lasting relief without surgery.
What is Happening Inside Your Knee?
As time goes on, the cartilage cushion in your knees naturally wears away with use, causing the bones to rub against themselves which results in the pain you're experiencing now.
Rather than replacing the damaged parts, our approach is to restore them with a hyaluronic gel injection, which is the building block of your body's natural cartilage.
How It Works
Following an initial consultation to confirm we can perform the procedure effectively and determine any necessary customizations, here's what we do:
Numb Your Knee
We use cold spray and Lidocaine to numb the knee to keep you comfortable during the procedure.
Take Live Imaging
We'll use our specialized fluoroscopy imaging technology to get a real-time look inside your knee.
Perform the Injection
While viewing the imagery, we carefully inject the customized solution into your numbed knee.
You Walk Out
With nearly instant relief, you can walk right out of the clinic and go about the rest of your day however you'd like!
What Makes This Different?
The answer in one word: Fluoroscopy
When it comes to knee gel injections, the most important aspect is DOING IT ACCURATELY.
Without the right equipment, it's impossible to visually confirm proper placement of the injection. The gel could land in the tissues around the joint so it doesn't coat the raw areas properly.
At the Joint Relief Institute, we place the gel correctly 100% of the time by using a live-imaging technique called Fluoroscopy. Using this advanced technology, the provider can see through your knee to ensure the gel is always placed exactly where it needs to be.
