Knee pain?
Discomfort in the knee can result from an injury or general “wear and tear” conditions like osteoporosis or tendonitis. Knee injuries caused by twisting or falling can cause damage to cartilage, ligaments or bone.
You are most at risk
for knee pain if you
- Have a history of traumatic injury
- Have a family history of osteoarthritis
- Are an athlete
- Perform a physical job that requires repetitive squatting
The Knee
The knee joint functions as a hinge joint with the primary responsibility of bending and straightening the leg. The knee depends on the hip, ankle and foot to maintain proper position during movements and is at particular risk during pivoting motions of the lower body.
Common Knee Conditions
Our Physical Therapists will develop a customized treatment plan to relieve your knee pain and restore mobility. The most common knee injuries that are effectively treated with physical therapy are:
- Ligament Sprain
- Cartilage Tear
- Anterior Knee Pain
- Tendinitis/Tendinosis
- Osteoarthritis
Treatment Options
Our team of Physical Therapists treat patients using evidence-based treatment techniques that speed recovery time, while reducing the risk of recurring knee pain:
- Manual therapy to decrease pain, increase range of motion and improve function
- Therapeutic exercises to strengthen hip muscles that will decrease knee stress, thigh muscles to improve function of the knee and ankle stabilizers to improve balance
- Functional exercises that are tailored to your activity level
- Self-management education to reduce chance of recurrence
Common Knee Surgeries
Some knee injuries do not respond to physical therapy alone. In these instances, surgery is required and physical therapy is a follow-up treatment strategy. The most common knee surgeries are:
- Total Knee Replacement
- Ligament Reconstruction
- Meniscectomy or Cartilage Removal
