The Power of Knee Pain Management Through Physical Therapy

Knee pain can stem from various causes, which makes understanding the pain essential for proper treatment. Our physical therapists are experts in identifying the root cause of your discomfort and can help address the following common issues that contribute to overall knee pain management challenges.

Common Causes of Knee Pain

Injuries

• Accidents, falls, or sudden twists can result in sprains, strains, or ligament tears that cause knee pain and instability.

Arthritis

• The wear and tear of osteoarthritis or inflammation from rheumatoid arthritis can lead to pain, stiffness, and reduced knee function.

Overuse

• Repetitive motions from activities like walking up and down stairs, running, or even kneeling or squatting while gardening can strain tendons and lead to discomfort.

Weakness

• Imbalances in muscle strength in the hip and pelvis (i.e., glutes) and around the knee can create added stress on the joints and cause pain.

Personalized Knee Pain Management Plan

At Active Sport and Spine Therapy, we start with a thorough evaluation, including a discussion of your medical history, current symptoms, and personal goals. A comprehensive physical examination will assess your knee’s range of motion, strength, balance, and potential limitations. Using this information, we’ll develop a treatment program tailored specifically to your needs.
