Knee aspiration, or arthrocentesis, involves inserting a needle into the knee joint to remove excess synovial fluid. This procedure helps relieve pain and reduce swelling caused by conditions like arthritis, bursitis, or injury. It is typically done under local anesthesia in a doctor's office and provides quick relief by decreasing the pressure within the knee joint. #kneepain #painmanagement | Precision Care Medical & Sports Performance | Facebook
