Knee Pain

Knee pain is a common complaint that can affect people of all ages. It refers to discomfort, swelling, or stiffness in or around the knee joint.

Causes of knee pain can include injuries (like ligament tears or meniscus damage), arthritis, overuse, obesity, or mechanical problems. Treatment depends on the cause and may involve rest, physiotherapy, medications, or in some cases, surgical intervention.

Services:

We offer a comprehensive range of services for knee pain, including:

  • Diagnostic Evaluation: Our team utilizes advanced diagnostic techniques, such as imaging tests (X-rays, MRI scans) and physical examination, to accurately diagnose the underlying cause of knee pain. We take the time to listen to your concerns, conduct a thorough assessment, and develop a customized treatment plan tailored to your specific condition.
  • Non-surgical Treatment: In many cases, knee pain can be effectively managed with conservative, non-surgical treatments. These may include rest, ice therapy, compression, elevation (RICE protocol), physical therapy, strengthening exercises, activity modification, bracing, orthotics, anti-inflammatory medications, corticosteroid injections, viscosupplementation injections, and regenerative medicine techniques such as platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy.
  • Minimally Invasive Procedures: In some cases, minimally invasive procedures such as arthroscopic surgery may be recommended to address underlying structural issues within the knee joint, such as meniscus tears or ligament injuries. These procedures are performed using small incisions and specialized instruments, resulting in less tissue damage and faster recovery times compared to traditional open surgery.
  • Surgical Intervention: For severe or persistent cases of knee pain that do not respond to conservative treatments, surgical intervention may be necessary. Our team offers a variety of surgical procedures, including knee arthroscopy, ligament reconstruction, meniscus repair, partial knee replacement, total knee replacement, and cartilage restoration procedures, to address the underlying cause of knee pain and restore function.
  • What are the common causes of knee pain?
    Knee pain can be caused by various factors, including ligament injuries (such as ACL tears), meniscus tears, osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, patellofemoral pain syndrome, bursitis, tendonitis, overuse injuries, and traumatic injuries (such as fractures or dislocations).
  • How is knee pain diagnosed?
    Diagnosis of knee pain typically involves a comprehensive evaluation by a healthcare professional, including a physical examination, medical history review, and may include imaging tests such as X-rays, MRI scans, or CT scans to assess the structure of the knee joint and identify any underlying abnormalities or injuries.
  • What are the treatment options for knee pain?
    Treatment for knee pain depends on the underlying cause, severity of symptoms, and individual patient factors. Non-surgical treatment options may include rest, ice therapy, compression, elevation (RICE protocol), physical therapy, strengthening exercises, activity modification, bracing, orthotics, anti-inflammatory medications, corticosteroid injections, viscosupplementation injections, and regenerative medicine techniques such as platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy. In some cases, minimally invasive procedures or surgical intervention may be necessary to address underlying structural issues or injuries.
  • How long does it take to recover from knee pain?
    The recovery time for knee pain varies depending on factors such as the underlying cause, severity of symptoms, type of treatment received, and individual patient factors. Mild cases of knee pain may improve with conservative treatments within a few days to a few weeks, while more severe or chronic cases may require longer recovery periods or ongoing management to maintain symptom relief.
  • Can knee pain be prevented?
    While not all cases of knee pain can be prevented, there are steps you can take to reduce your risk, including maintaining a healthy weight, staying physically active with regular exercise (including strength training and flexibility exercises), using proper techniques during sports and physical activities, wearing supportive footwear, avoiding excessive high-impact activities, and practicing good knee hygiene (such as warming up before exercise and using proper form during activities).
