Getting to the clinic from McDonough
Riverdale is northwest of McDonough, across the Clayton County line from Henry County. The usual route is I-75 north to the Old Dixie Road area, then over to Upper Riverdale Road, about 20 miles. Stockbridge, Locust Grove, and Hampton are the same drive. The interstate leg can run longer at Atlanta rush hour, so a mid-morning or early-afternoon appointment is the easier trip. Clinic hours are Monday through Wednesday 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM and Thursday 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM.
The non-surgical options for a knee
Hyaluronic acid (gel) injections add lubricating fluid to a knee worn by osteoarthritis, given as one shot or a short series under imaging. In Georgia, Medicare requires an x-ray confirming osteoarthritis among its conditions for covering knee gel injections, so that image is taken first.
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is made from a small draw of your own blood and injected into the knee. It is elective and self-pay.
Cortisone injections calm a flaring knee quickly and are used on a limited schedule.
Sarapin injections are a non-steroidal botanical option for chronic joint pain when a steroid is not the right choice.
Custom-fitted knee bracing with an unloader brace takes weight off the worn side of the joint; coverage is confirmed before anything is ordered.
Hako-Med horizontal therapy is an electrotherapy option used within a knee care plan.
Knee problems the clinic handles
Knee osteoarthritis, bone-on-bone pain, worn cartilage and meniscus pain, kneecap tendon pain, and long-running knee pain that rest and medication have not fixed. A plan can include physical therapy by referral.
Diagnosis before treatment
The first visit pairs a hands-on exam with on-site digital x-ray or fluoroscopy, so the injection or brace is aimed at what the image shows. That same x-ray is one of the things Georgia Medicare needs on file before it pays for gel injections.
Insurance and Medicare
Diagnostics and hyaluronic acid gel injections are covered by most major medical plans and Medicare. Platelet-rich plasma is the usual self-pay exception. Bracing coverage depends on your plan and is confirmed before anything is ordered. Your plan is checked before scheduling.
