What Could Be Causing Your Knee Pain?

Do you ever experience knee pain? Whether it’s around the joint, down the sides, or knee pain in general, we know knee pain can limit your everyday activity often leaving you stuck in the house or unable to get out of your chair.

Well, if this sounds like you, you’ve found the right spot because we’re here to help you get back to using your knee pain-free.

So How Do We Help That?

Well, a lot of times people feel like when they get a knee problem, they need to go out and do a bunch of testing, MRI, and X-ray. Not that those things are bad, but physical therapy can take care of a lot of problems that people don’t realize.

If you do have a meniscus issue or arthritis, physical therapy has been shown in research, to be just as effective as getting you where you wanna be as far as exercise or running as it is surgery.

3 Main Steps We Use To Treat Your Knee Pain

Step 1: Evaluation

At Focus Physical Therapy we do three main things to really get your knee where you want it to be so you can move around with ease and free from knee pain.

In our evaluation, we test all the things I just mentioned, range of motion, manual muscle testing, how the knee works, and how it works doing the things you want to do.

If you don’t know what’s going on, when you get an MRI, or if you get an MRI, it doesn’t show you the full picture.

You have to know how the knee is working, those deficits and those things are what’s going to clue us in on how to get you better.

Step 2: Manual Therapy Techniques And Exercises

Our second step to getting you back on the road to recovery is to do some manual therapy techniques to get your knee to feel good and then keep up our progress with exercises.

Some simple techniques make your knee have more range of motion, less pain, and less swelling. Swelling control is really big with knees because you have to be able to get it stronger.

So, after we do some of the manual techniques, then we also have a good exercise progression.

Knees are super important to have a good exercise progression, because really, what happens with the knee is that it gets weak from your injury, or whatever happened to it.

And if your knee can’t tolerate the simple things you wanna do, it tends to flare up a lot. And we have to be able to manage that.

I tell my patients, “We have to get you strong enough. If you want to be able to run or exercise here, but you’re only strong enough to do this, we have to get you there. And it takes time, but you can get there. You gotta do it the right way as well. You can’t just go out and do a bunch of weighted squats and get there. You have to start in a certain way to get your knee and hips in line together. And they kind of work both together.”

And we’re equipped to give you that pathway to get to where you want to be.

Step 3: Get In Touch

We’ve helped thousands of people in Louisville who’ve visited our Mellwood and East End clinics to cure their knee pain even though they’ve been struggling for months, and even years!

If your knee pain persists for over seven days, or if it is becoming increasingly painful and unbearable, the wisest course of action is to seek medical assistance. We would invite you to Arrange A Free Discovery Visit with one of our specialist physical therapists.

Left untreated, knee problems often get much worse and can lead to more serious issues resulting in life-changing surgery.

If your knee pain is mild, infrequent or just starting to become a problem, some simple home remedies and lifestyle changes can help you stop your knee from hurting when bent, and allow you to enjoy an active life pain-free.
