Apr 13, 2024

Dealing with knee joint pain can be a debilitating experience that affects many aspects of daily life. Whether caused by injury, arthritis, or other underlying conditions, finding effective solutions is crucial for maintaining mobility and overall well-being.

Causes of Knee Joint Pain

Knee joint pain can stem from various factors, including wear and tear, overuse injuries, or conditions such as osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, or tendonitis. Common symptoms include swelling, stiffness, and discomfort that worsens with movement.

At The Foot Practice, our team of experienced podiatrists specializes in diagnosing and treating knee joint pain to provide personalized care for each individual's unique needs.

Diagnosis and Treatment

Upon visiting our clinic, patients undergo a thorough examination to pinpoint the underlying cause of their knee pain. Diagnostic tests, including X-rays, MRIs, or ultrasound scans, may be conducted to aid in the accurate diagnosis.

Treatment options vary depending on the root cause of the pain. From conservative measures such as physical therapy, custom orthotics, or braces to more advanced interventions like injections or surgical procedures, our team will work closely with you to develop a tailored treatment plan.

Prevention and Management

Preventing knee joint pain involves maintaining a healthy weight, staying active, and avoiding activities that place excessive strain on the knees. At The Foot Practice, we offer lifestyle recommendations, exercise programs, and ongoing support to help manage and prevent knee pain effectively.
