Advanced Knee Care
at Southern Spine Center
At Southern Spine Center, our knee specialists combine orthopedic excellence, leading‑edge diagnostics, and personalized treatment to relieve pain, restore stability, and get you moving with confidence. Whether you’re managing arthritis, recovering from a sports injury, or considering knee replacement, we tailor care to your goals.
Expertise in Every Detail of Care
The knee absorbs impact, enables power, and supports daily activity. From joint preservation to advanced reconstruction, our fellowship‑trained surgeons deliver next‑generation solutions designed around how you live, work, and play.
Conditions We Treat
Knee problems can limit every step—from stairs to sport. Our diagnostic approach goes beyond symptom relief: we identify the root cause for results that last.
ACL Tear
An ACL tear can cause knee instability, swelling, and difficulty pivoting or changing direction. We confirm the injury with exam and imaging, guide swelling control and rehab, and when appropriate, offer ACL reconstruction to restore stability and protect long‑term knee health.
Meniscus Tears
The meniscus cushions and stabilizes the knee. Tears can cause catching, swelling, or joint line pain. Treatment ranges from rest and therapy to arthroscopic repair or trim based on tear type, location, and activity goals.
Bursitis
Knee bursitis is inflammation of fluid‑filled sacs that cushion the joint, often from overuse or pressure. We reduce pain and swelling with targeted therapies, activity modification, and protective strategies to prevent recurrence.
Knee Pain
Knee pain may arise from arthritis, tendon irritation, cartilage wear, or alignment issues. After a focused exam and imaging as needed, we craft a plan that may include targeted exercises, bracing, injections, and advanced options when conservative care isn’t enough.
Cutting‑Edge Treatments
Knee Injections
Hyaluronic acid (“gel”) injections supplement the knee’s natural joint fluid to improve lubrication and shock absorption—helping reduce pain and stiffness from osteoarthritis. We individualize protocols and pair injections with strengthening to enhance outcomes.
Knee Replacement
When arthritis or joint damage severely limits life and conservative care no longer helps, knee replacement can relieve pain and restore function. Our surgeons use modern techniques focused on precise alignment, stability, and a smooth recovery.
Sports Injury
We treat sports‑related knee injuries across all levels—from sprains and cartilage injuries to ligament tears—with sport‑specific rehabilitation and safe return‑to‑play plans tailored to your season and goals.
