Knee Pain Treatment in Central Florida

Knee pain treatment in Central Florida

Knee pain affects millions of Americans and can significantly impact your ability to walk, climb stairs, exercise, and enjoy daily activities. At Central Florida Bone & Joint Institute, our board-certified orthopedic surgeons specialize in diagnosing and treating the full spectrum of knee conditions, from sports injuries to degenerative arthritis. With offices in Orange City and Lake Mary, we provide comprehensive knee care to patients throughout Volusia and Seminole counties.

Whether you are dealing with a sudden injury or chronic knee pain that has worsened over time, our team will perform a thorough evaluation to identify the source of your discomfort and develop a personalized treatment plan focused on restoring your mobility and quality of life.

Knee Conditions and Injuries We Treat

Our orthopedic specialists diagnose and treat a wide range of knee problems, including:

  • Osteoarthritis and degenerative joint disease
  • Meniscus tears
  • ACL, PCL, MCL, and LCL ligament injuries
  • Patellar tendinitis and tendon tears
  • Bursitis
  • Runner's knee (patellofemoral pain syndrome)
  • Iliotibial band syndrome
  • Cartilage damage
  • Knee fractures
  • Baker's cysts
  • Osgood-Schlatter disease (in young athletes)
  • Patellar dislocations and instability

Non-Surgical Knee Treatments

Many knee conditions respond well to conservative treatment approaches. We always explore non-surgical options first when appropriate:

  • Physical therapy and targeted exercise programs
  • Anti-inflammatory medications
  • Corticosteroid injections
  • Hyaluronic acid (gel) injections

Our goal is to relieve your pain and restore function using the least invasive approach that will be effective for your specific condition.

Surgical Knee Treatments

When conservative treatments do not provide adequate relief, our surgeons offer advanced surgical solutions:

Knee Arthroscopy

Minimally invasive surgery to repair meniscus tears, remove loose bodies, and treat cartilage damage through small incisions using a camera and specialized instruments.

ACL Reconstruction

Rebuilding the anterior cruciate ligament using advanced techniques to restore knee stability, often necessary for athletes and active individuals.

Meniscus Repair

Preserving meniscus tissue when possible for better long-term joint health and outcomes, rather than simply removing the damaged portion.

MPFL Reconstruction

Correcting patellar instability and recurrent kneecap dislocations by reconstructing the medial patellofemoral ligament.

Total Knee Replacement

Complete joint replacement for severe arthritis using the latest implant technology. Learn more about knee replacement in Orange City or knee replacement in Lake Mary.

Robotic Makoplasty Knee Replacement

Precision robotic-assisted surgery for optimal implant positioning, potentially improving outcomes and implant longevity.
