Comprehensive Knee Care in Camp Hill, PA

At OIP, we treat more than your symptoms. While pain, numbness, tingling and related symptoms may be what brought you in, we go deeper to identify the cause and address it directly. Our experience has made us experts in acute and chronic conditions, including:

  • Ligament tears, including the ACL, MCL, PCL and LCL
  • Meniscus tears
  • Arthritis and osteoarthritis
  • Patellar injuries and instability
  • Tendonitis and bursitis
  • Fractures, breaks and dislocations

Whatever your diagnosis, we will develop an individualized treatment plan from the start that incorporates our best practices for relieving knee pain while catering our services to align with your particular goals.

While our board-certified surgeons know that knee surgery is sometimes a must, our approach prioritizes conservative, minimally invasive care that helps you heal faster and get back to what you love sooner. Still, our knee injury treatments in Camp Hill span from the most general pain management to full knee replacement surgery, so you can always feel confident we’ll give you the right care based on your preferences.

Patient Testimonial

After my hip replacement, I was worried about how long it would take to get back on my feet. The rehab team at OIP was fantastic. They guided me every step of the way, and I’m now walking without any pain!” Brian B., York, PA
