Knee & Joint Pain
Knee and joint pain are some of the most common musculoskeletal issues people face — and they can significantly impact mobility, independence, and overall quality of life. At Innovative Pain and Wellness (IPW), our board-certified physicians specialize in diagnosing and treating joint-related conditions. Whether your pain stems from arthritis, overuse, injury, or degenerative changes, our team is committed to delivering safe, effective, and customized care to keep you moving.
Understanding Knee & Joint Pain
Joint pain can occur in the knees, hips, shoulders, or other major joints, and is often caused by inflammation, degeneration, or injury to the cartilage, tendons, or ligaments that support joint function. Pain may present as stiffness, swelling, instability, or sharp discomfort with movement. Without proper treatment, joint pain can progress, leading to decreased mobility and long-term complications. Early diagnosis and intervention are key to restoring function and preventing further damage.
Common Conditions We Treat
At IPW, we treat a wide range of joint conditions, including:
-
Osteoarthritis of the Knee or Hip – Degeneration of joint cartilage leading to stiffness, swelling, and chronic pain.
-
Degenerative Joint Disease – Wear-and-tear arthritis that causes reduced mobility and persistent joint discomfort.
-
Bursitis of the Hip – Inflammation of the bursae (fluid-filled sacs) causing pain with movement or pressure.
-
Rotator Cuff Injuries & Tears – Shoulder injuries that limit range of motion and cause sharp or aching pain.
-
Acromioclavicular (AC) Joint Arthritis – Arthritis in the small joint at the top of the shoulder causing pain and instability.
