Knee Pain Treatment in Dubai

At Doctor Reuter Medical Center, we provide expert knee pain treatment in Dubai, led by experienced orthopedic specialist, Dr. Helge Schmitz, to help diagnose, manage and treat a wide range of knee conditions using both conservative therapies and minimally invasive surgical techniques when necessary.

Knee conditions may present with the following symptoms:

• Pain: Often mild initially but may gradually worsen over time. Causes may include overuse injuries, ligament or meniscus damage, excess weight, inflammation, or degenerative conditions such as osteoarthritis. 
• Loss of function: Difficulty bearing weight may indicate ligament strain or meniscus injury, often following trauma or sudden twisting of the knee. 
• Limited range of motion or lack of strength: Inability to fully extend, flex, or bear weight may signal acute injury, improper rehabilitation, or chronic conditions like arthrofibrosis. 
• Instability: Feeling that the knee “gives way” may result from structural damage or ligament injury, requiring professional orthopedic evaluation.

Common Causes of Knee Pain

Knee pain may be associated with a variety of conditions, including:

Degenerative conditions

• Osteoarthritis

Soft tissue disorders

• Patellar tendinopathy
• Bursitis

Structural or mechanical conditions

• Meniscus tears
• Ligament injuries (ACL, MCL)
• Patellofemoral pain syndrome

Other causes

• Overuse or repetitive strain injuries
• Inflammatory conditions
• Referred pain from the hip or spine

Our Knee Pain Treatments

At Doctor Reuter Medical Center, we combine conservative orthopedic treatments and advanced therapies to relieve knee pain, improve function, and prevent long-term joint damage.

Infiltration & Injection Therapy

Targeted injections help reduce pain and inflammation in affected knee structures:

• Steroid injections – Used for inflammatory joint conditions such as osteoarthritis, gout, and rheumatoid arthritis
• Anti-inflammatory injections – May be used for tendon-related pain or localized inflammation.
• Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections – Uses growth factors derived from the patient’s own blood to support tissue healing processes.
• Hyaluronic acid injections – Helps improve joint lubrication and may reduce pain in degenerative knees.
• Stem cell therapy – In selected cases, regenerative cell therapies derived from bone marrow or adipose tissue may be used to support the body’s natural healing processes in certain degenerative or overuse-related joint conditions. Suitability depends on individual clinical evaluation.

Shockwave Therapy (ESWT)

Extracorporeal shockwave therapy is a non-invasive treatment that may help improve function and reduce symptoms in conditions such as patellar tendinopathy (jumper’s knee), quadriceps tendinopathy, chronic ligament insertions, calcific tendon changes, and certain patellofemoral pain syndromes, particularly when symptoms persist despite conventional conservative treatments.

Manual Medicine Chirotherapy

Our experienced chirotherapy specialists address the root causes of knee pain, especially when there is no structural damage. Through targeted adjustments and manual therapy, we can reduce pain, improve mobility, and prevent recurrence. Instead: Our orthopedic team also provides manual medicine techniques to address functional joint restrictions, muscular imbalances, and biomechanical factors that may contribute to knee pain. These treatments may improve mobility, reduce tension, and support recovery when structural damage is not the primary cause.

Second Opinions & Customized Plans

Diagnosis & Treatment Procedure

Each patient undergoes a thorough orthopedic assessment, including a physical examination, imaging when necessary and evaluation of symptoms and lifestyle factors. Based on findings, we develop a personalized treatment plan that may include conservative therapy, injections, shockwave therapy, manual medicine, or arthroscopic surgery when structural problems require surgical treatment.

Our goal is to relieve pain, restore mobility, and support long-term knee health.
