Can Knee Injections Cure Knee Arthritis?

Posted by Knee Doctor

Knee arthritis and cartilage wear has traditionally been considered an uncurable condition. In fact, the only consistently successful treatment whas a total knee replacement. Although knee replacements are a good option for severe arthritis, they require a large surgery, a prolonged recorvery course, and are usually associated with temporary, but significant, postoperative pain. Fortunately, advances in medical knowledge and technology have produced some very promising non-surgical treatments for knee arthritis. While there may not be a cure for arthritis yet, many of these treatments have shown potential to delay the need for knee replacement surgery.

My daughter injured her ankle in cross country practice and we were able to get in the next day to see Dr. Burnham. He made my daughter feel comfortable and made sure to listen to both of our concerns prior to his diagnosis. We had a wonderful experience and I highly recommend him.

I went to Dr. Burnham for issues I was having with my shoulders. He was outstanding. He diagnosed the problem quickly and accurately. He and his staff could not have been more helpful and professional. I am a coach, and I have two boys playing sports, the best thing I can say is that my sons will go see Dr. Burnham in the event they are injured, and I will always recommend him to my athletes.

I was referred to Dr. Burnham from my spine doc, Chambliss Harrod, MD and he turned out to be a way cool guy. He will now be caring for my hip and knee in the future. Easy to talk to and will answer any questions of your care. Takes his time with you and doesn't hurry to rush out of the room if you have questions.

Dr. Burnham is amazing. I had a traumatic knee injury that he performed surgery on. The healing phase is long, but he does A+ work. With an injury like this you want the best, and Dr. Burnham is the best. I highly recommend him.

After a pretty serious car accident, Dr. Burnham performed knee surgery on me. Dr. Burnham made sure I knew what was happening and what could happen. I felt very informed and well cared for. Dr. Burnham clearly cares about his patients and their follow up care.

My daughter hurt her knee playing soccer. After much debate, we decided that we needed to see an orthopaedic specialist to be sure it was not anything serious. Upon arriving at the Bone and Joint Clinic, the receptionist, nurses and technician staff were all friendly and reassuring faces. We were screened for an x-ray on site, prior to seeing the doctor. Dr. Burnham was able to save us a trip by reading the x-ray, examining her knee thoroughly, and giving us a dreaded prognosis. Ultimately, the outcome of her simple twisted knee was a torn her ACL and torn meniscus requiring surgery. Without hesitation, Dr. Burnham reassured my daughter, answered all of her questions, discussed the importance of the surgery, and allowed her plenty of time to decide on her options and date of the surgery. Dr. Burnham's bedside manner is a rare find in this fast paced world of medicine. It was refreshing to know that we were placing my daughter in very caring surgeon hands. We are 2 weeks post-op right now. He gave excellent post-op instructions and exercises. He said there would be significant pain. We have followed all his advice and are healing very well. I have already told our family and friends how wonderful our care has been. I highly recommend Dr. Burnham.

Dr. Burnham was very thorough and took the time to explain what he thought my root problem may be, why, and how he suggested we proceed with my care. He answered all my questions satisfactorily and his entire staff were polite and professional. Highly recommended!

Dr. Burnham was very thorough with his examination and diagnosis. He spent a great amount of time explaining everything to me in a way that I understood everything. In the end he offered the best treatment for me. This is the first time in months that I have felt myself.

Very positive experience at Bone and Joint Clinic in Baton Rouge. Recommend highly. Everyone I was in contact with, from support staff to Dr. Burnham, was kind, friendly, competent, and generous with time and information.

Dr. Burnham and Jerrica are AMAZING! Their sense of compassion and understanding is more than we have ever experienced. My 14 year old son originally went in to see Dr. Burnham very scared (he hadn't had an injury before) and he was instantly made to feel at ease. His surgery and recovery has been perfect! Thank you Dr. Burnham and Jerrica for everything! We are so grateful for you both!

Dr. Burnham performed my hip pin surgery and it all went extremely well. I highly recommend him. Also, I had to make numerous visits to the Ochsner Clinic due to my injury and Dr. Burnham's team and the staff at Ochsner were always very professional and courteous.
