Why does my knee hurt?
Your knee is a hinge joint that can only move forward and backward. You should be able to stand, walk, run, and dance with ease if your knees are in proper alignment. If you have knee pain, you will not be able to move as freely as you would like.
Although it might seem counterintuitive, there are times when knee pain is the symptom, not the source of your problem. The knee can alert you to a problem in the foot or hip region by sending pain messages to your brain. There are, of course, times when the knee pain you feel is due to an actual issue/injury in the knee itself.
Fortunately, at Mobility Project Physical Therapy, our physical therapists are experts at getting to the root of your problems and identifying all the factors that may be associated with your specific condition. So if you’re unsure what’s causing your symptoms, let our team conduct a whole-body assessment, identify the reasons you may be experiencing knee pain, and help you resolve them once and for all!
Knee pain can be caused by a variety of factors, the most common include:
Arthritis
Ligament Injuries
Tendinitis
Knee bursitis
Fractures
Physical therapy for knee pain relief
Some people are worried that physical therapy will aggravate their knees because they have been told their only option is surgery. This is simply not the case for the vast majority of people. In fact, physical therapy has shown to be as effective or more effective than surgery for several disorders of the knee. You have so much to gain from physical therapy; rest assured, there is nothing to be scared of!
During your first appointment, one of our physical therapists will conduct a comprehensive evaluation of the whole body. Your therapist will examine your knees for signs and symptoms of serious conditions that require further evaluation, and testing of specific medical treatments (i.e., medication, injections, or surgery).
Our evaluations will address the joints above and below the knee and any other factors affecting your mobility, gait, and overall functional ability.
In order to return to your regular activities with more joint range of motion, soft tissue flexibility, and less discomfort, you and the physical therapist will address how your body works together for normal joint function.
Your therapist will give you exercises to help strengthen the muscles around the knee to help reduce pain, stabilize, and improve the overall functioning of your knees. Your physical therapist may use manual therapy and modality treatments to manage discomfort and speed the recovery of injured tissues.
Before you know it, your knee pain will be a thing of the past. Physical therapy treatments at Mobility Project Physical Therapy can help you get back to doing what you love without medication, invasive injections, or painful surgery!
