Whether it’s salsa dancing, participating in organized sports, walking on the beach or chasing after your kids or grandchildren, you deserve to exercise all of your options!
Don’t let knee pain hold you back from doing the things you enjoy.
If you’ve experienced a knee injury or your knees are becoming stiffer or painful with movement, it’s time for a knee doctor to examine them and learn about the best treatment options for your diagnosis.
The orthopedic knee specialists at the Orthopedic Institute of New Jersey (OINJ) have the experience and expertise to get you moving again, no matter your age or activity level.
Seeing a knee doctor is often the first step in the recovery process. The alternative--waiting for knee pain to improve on its own--can often lead to deconditioning, which can make the situation worse. Whether you need a knee replacement or an ACL repair, don’t wait to seek treatment.
OINJ’s board-certified physicians and experienced, compassionate staff specialize in providing comprehensive services to diagnose and treat knee conditions with a customized care plan specifically designed for you.
