Knee pain can arise from various conditions, each requiring a unique approach to treatment.
Some common causes include:
- Ligament injuries like ACL tears, meniscus tears and patellar tendinitis, often referred to as jumper’s knee.
- Overuse injuries from repetitive activities or sports can lead to conditions such as bursitis or IT band syndrome.
- Arthritis, particularly osteoarthritis, causes joint pain and stiffness. To learn more about knee arthritis and its symptoms, watch the videos below.
No matter the source of your knee pain, our team at Abrazo Health, Abrazo Orthopedic Specialists and Arizona Sports Medicine Center is equipped to diagnose and treat a wide range of knee issues effectively.
We specialize in treating all kinds of knee pain, including the following:
- Arthritis
- Ligament injuries, including ACL tears
- Muscle or tendon injuries
- Cartilage injuries, including meniscus tears
- Fractures/dislocations
- Bone deformity or abnormal rotation
Since each experiences knee pain differently, it is essential to be evaluated by a licensed professional before attempting any exercise program. If you are experiencing significant swelling in the leg, calf pain after prolonged sitting and/or inability to stand or walk, you should seek medical assistance immediately. If you are not having any of these symptoms, you might find some relief with the following activities:
- Gently stretch the calf, quadriceps and hamstrings within pain-free ranges of movement in the knee.
- Use a cold pack one to two times a day for 10-15 minutes at the site of pain to reduce inflammation.
- Make sure to warm up properly before exercise, sports or heavy lifting.
While knee injuries or pain can happen to anyone, there are ways you can help your joints stay as healthy as possible. Watch our video below to learn more about keeping your joints healthy.
