What Is a Knee Injection?
A knee injection delivers medication directly into the knee joint to relieve pain, reduce inflammation, and improve movement. Injections are commonly used when oral medications, physical therapy, or rest are no longer providing sufficient relief.
Knee injections are especially helpful for:
• Osteoarthritis
• Inflammatory knee pain
• Swelling and stiffness
• Degenerative joint disease
• Post-injury knee pain

Types of Knee Injections We Provide at Home
Leaa Health offers multiple types of knee injections, depending on your diagnosis, imaging history, and symptoms.
⸻
1) Cortisone (Steroid) Knee Injections
Best for: Inflammation, arthritis flares, swelling, acute pain
Cortisone injections:
• Reduce inflammation inside the joint
• Relieve pain and stiffness
• Often provide relief for weeks to months
Commonly used for:
• Osteoarthritis
• Rheumatoid arthritis flares
• Knee swelling and effusions
2) Gel Knee Injections (Viscosupplementation)
Best for: Knee osteoarthritis with cartilage wear
Gel injections (hyaluronic acid):
• Improve joint lubrication
• Reduce friction and pain
• Support smoother knee movement
Often recommended for patients who:
• Have knee arthritis
• Want to delay surgery
• Did not get long-lasting relief from cortisone
(Availability depends on insurance, product selection, and clinical appropriateness.)
3) Local Anesthetic / Pain-Relief Injections
Best for: Diagnostic relief, temporary pain reduction
These injections:
• Provide short-term pain relief
• Help confirm the pain source
• Are sometimes combined with steroid injections
4) Other Knee Injection Options (Case-by-Case)
Depending on clinical appropriateness and coordination with specialists, Leaa may support:
• Bursa injections around the knee
• Trigger-point or soft-tissue injections near the knee
• Follow-up monitoring after orthopedic-directed injection plans
(Advanced biologic treatments such as PRP require specific protocols and may involve specialist coordination.)

Knee Injection at Home — Frequently Asked Questions
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What is a knee injection? | A knee injection delivers medication directly into the knee joint to reduce pain, inflammation, and stiffness while improving mobility. |
| Can knee injections be done safely at home? | Yes. When performed by licensed medical providers using sterile technique, knee injections can be safely administered at home for appropriate patients. |
| What types of knee injections do you offer? | Leaa provides cortisone (steroid) injections, gel injections (viscosupplementation), and pain-relief or local anesthetic injections, depending on clinical evaluation. |
| How long does relief from a knee injection last? | Relief can last weeks to months depending on the injection type, underlying condition, and individual response. |
| Are gel knee injections different from cortisone? | Yes. Gel injections help lubricate the joint and reduce friction, while cortisone injections primarily reduce inflammation and swelling. |

| Do I need imaging before a knee injection? | Prior imaging can be helpful but is not always required. Your clinician will determine what’s appropriate based on your history and exam. |
| Can elderly or mobility-limited patients receive knee injections at home? | Yes. In-home knee injections are especially helpful for seniors and patients who have difficulty traveling to clinics. |
| When should I go to an orthopedic clinic or ER instead? | Emergency care is needed for suspected infection, fracture, severe trauma, or sudden inability to bear weight. Leaa clinicians will advise if escalation is required. |

“Leaa Health is a total game changer. I booked a same-day home visit for my father who had flu symptoms while visiting from London. The doctor arrived within 90 minutes, was incredibly professional, and even brought a rapid test kit. We avoided a chaotic ER visit, and my dad was feeling better within hours. Concierge healthcare at its best!”

“From booking to follow-up, Leaa’s service was seamless. I use the Elite Plan for my family and it’s worth every dollar. We’ve had multiple visits in-home for IV therapy, testing, and even travel clearance. Their providers are top-notch, and the peace of mind is priceless when you have kids. Highly recommend for busy professionals or anyone who values comfort and safety.”
