Receive expert knee pain treatment in City of Industry, CA at Integrative Sports and Spine with a focus on accurate diagnosis and targeted, nonsurgical interventional care. Our knee pain physicians use image guided procedures to address the root cause of joint pain, reduce inflammation, and restore function for patients across the eastern San Gabriel Valley.
City of Industry and its surrounding communities, including Hacienda Heights, Rowland Heights, La Puente, Diamond Bar, and Walnut, represent one of the most economically active corridors in Southern California. The people who work in this corridor and live in these neighborhoods carry a disproportionate physical load. Forklift operators and warehouse associates spend full shifts bearing loads and pivoting on concrete. Delivery drivers climb in and out of vehicles hundreds of times a day. Restaurant and food service workers stand on hard surfaces from before noon until well past midnight. Mechanics, technicians, and tradespeople kneel, squat, and crouch through jobs that would strain any joint over time.
Knee pain in this community does not announce itself dramatically. It accumulates. It starts as end of day stiffness that goes away after rest. It becomes stiffness that is still present by morning. Then it becomes swelling that appears after activity and lingers. Then it becomes pain that interrupts sleep and forces a change in how the day is structured. By the time many patients seek care, a condition that could have been addressed much earlier has progressed significantly.
The other obstacle is time. Patients in this corridor often feel that pursuing specialized care requires taking days off work, navigating complicated medical systems, or accepting a recommendation for surgery that would sideline them for months. Our City of Industry clinic exists specifically to remove those obstacles. Our knee procedures are outpatient, image guided, and designed for working people who need to get back to their lives as quickly as the treatment allows.
Our interventional physicians are trained and equipped to evaluate and treat the full range of knee conditions affecting City of Industry and eastern SGV patients, including those driven by occupational demands, overuse, injury, and progressive joint degeneration:
Whether your knee condition developed over years of physical work or resulted from a specific incident, our team will perform a thorough diagnostic evaluation to identify the structures involved and determine the most appropriate nonsurgical treatment approach.

Persistent knee pain is not evidence that treatment cannot work. It is more often evidence that the right treatment has not yet been applied to the right structure. A comprehensive interventional evaluation can identify whether there are anatomical sources of pain within or around your joint that prior treatment did not accurately target. Many patients with long standing knee pain achieve meaningful improvement once the correct pain generator is identified and specifically addressed.
For most procedures, patients are able to return to light duty work within 24 to 48 hours. The timeline for returning to heavy physical labor, such as repetitive lifting, prolonged kneeling, or operating machinery, depends on the type of procedure performed and the condition being treated. Your physician will give you specific, practical guidance based on your situation and can provide written documentation for modified duty if your employer requires it.
Genicular nerve radiofrequency ablation is a procedure in which small, carefully targeted nerve fibers around the knee that carry pain signals are interrupted using focused radiofrequency energy. This does not affect the joint itself or its function. It reduces the perception of pain by disrupting the pathway through which pain signals travel from the joint to the brain. It is most appropriate for patients with chronic knee arthritis who have responded positively to a diagnostic nerve block and who are seeking longer term relief than injections alone have provided. Relief from this procedure can last a year or more in appropriate candidates.
Yes. Knee injuries related to workplace incidents, including repetitive strain conditions, traumatic injuries, and post traumatic arthritis, are a substantial part of our City of Industry practice. We are experienced in treating patients under workers compensation coverage, understand the documentation and authorization processes involved, and can support your claim throughout your course of care.
Normal or near normal imaging does not mean your pain is not real or not treatable. Some significant knee conditions, including early stage tendinopathy, bursitis, synovitis, and certain meniscal tears, may not appear definitively on standard imaging. A clinical examination combined with ultrasound evaluation at the time of your appointment can identify soft tissue conditions that imaging alone may not capture.
Bilateral knee procedures can sometimes be performed in the same visit depending on the type of treatment and the condition involved. Your physician will assess whether treating both knees at once is clinically appropriate for your situation or whether staging the treatments with an interval between them is the better approach.
Treated for knee osteoarthritis
"I operate a forklift and my right knee has been swelling every afternoon for the better part of two years. I had been taking over the counter medication just to get through my shift. I came here as a last stop before agreeing to a procedure my orthopedic was recommending. After the combination treatment they put together for me, the swelling stopped coming back within about six weeks. I have been working without major restrictions for seven months now. This clinic gave me options I didn't know I had."
Treated for pes anserine bursitis
"I work in food packaging and I stand all day. My knee pain had been blamed on general arthritis for years and treated with the same injection that would wear off in a month. When I came here, the doctor found that a bursa on the inner side of my knee was a major part of the problem and had never been specifically treated. After targeting that with a precise injection under ultrasound, my relief was noticeably better and lasted much longer than anything I had tried before. Finally the right answer."
Treated for chronic knee arthritis
"I had tried multiple injections over several years with diminishing returns. My surgeon told me knee replacement was my best remaining option. I was not ready for that. A friend told me about this clinic and the nerve treatment. I was skeptical but I went in for the consultation and the doctor explained it clearly and showed me the evidence. Fourteen months after the procedure my pain is still controlled. I have not pursued surgery and I am not in a hurry to."
