Knee Bursitis
Using the power of innovative science and modern technology, Dr SW Clinic can help you live your best pain-free life without the need for invasive surgery.
Knee bursitis, also known as prepatellar bursitis or “housemaid’s knee,” is a condition characterised by inflammation of the bursa sac located in front of the knee joint.
Bursae are small, fluid-filled sacs that act as cushions between bones, tendons, and muscles, reducing friction and allowing smooth movement.
When the prepatellar bursa becomes inflamed, it can lead to pain and discomfort around the knee.
Early intervention and appropriate treatment can help manage symptoms and improve outcomes.
At Dr SW Clinics, we can treat a range of pain conditions using Regenerative Medicine and pain-relieving injections. If you are tired of living with pain and looking for a non-surgical intervention, then Dr SW Clinics could help you get back to your optimal quality of life.

You will then be invited for a consultation with one of our leading experts. To better gain an understanding of the problem, the Consultant may suggest you receive an x-ray or an MRI.
