Keeping Your Knees Keen: Stella Maris Clinic Can Help!
Our knees are marvels of engineering, constantly bending, absorbing impact, and propelling us forward. But these tireless workhorses are susceptible to wear and tear, leading to pain and limited mobility.
At Stella Maris Clinic, we understand the importance of healthy knees. We offer comprehensive diagnosis and treatment for a variety of knee conditions, including:
Arthritis: Degeneration of the joint cartilage, causing pain, stiffness, and swelling. This can be osteoarthritis (wear-and-tear) or rheumatoid arthritis (an autoimmune disease).
Ligament sprains and tears: Injuries to the strong bands of tissue that connect the bones in your knee joint, leading to pain, instability, and swelling.
Meniscus tears: Damage to the crescent-shaped pieces of cartilage that act as shock absorbers in the knee, causing pain, clicking, and locking sensations.
Tendonitis: Inflammation of the tendons surrounding the knee joint, causing pain and difficulty with movement.
Bursitis: Inflammation of the fluid-filled sacs cushioning the knee joint, leading to pain and tenderness.
Don’t let knee pain slow you down!
Stella Maris Clinic has a team of experienced professionals who can diagnose the cause of your knee pain and create a personalized treatment plan to get you back to the activities you love. We offer a variety of treatment options, including:

Corticosteroid injections: To reduce inflammation in specific areas.
Bracing: To provide support and stability to the knee joint.

Beyond treating existing conditions, we can also help you prevent future knee problems through:
