Common Causes Of Knee Pain
Your knee is a hinge joint with only forward and backward movement. Did you know that your knees must sustain six times your body weight to squat? If your knees are functioning properly, you should be able to do motions like standing, walking, running, and dancing with ease. Your body will not allow you to achieve the things you want without suffering if it is not correctly aligned.
Knee pain can be brought on by many things, included but not limited to:
Fractures
ACL injury
Torn meniscus
Knee bursitis
Patellar tendinitis
Seeing a licensed physical therapist at MEDIQ Physical Therapy for a thorough evaluation of your condition is the best way to determine the true cause of your knee pain. Request an appointment today!
How Does Physical Therapy Relieve Knee Pain?
Knee pain does not have to keep you from doing what you want to accomplish; physical therapy at our Holly Springs, Greensboro or Cary, NC clinic can make sure of that!
One of our physical therapists will assess your knees for evidence of misalignment or structural damage, as well as evaluate your stance, posture, gait, and range of motion during your first appointment.
A personalized treatment plan will be created to remove unnatural tension and strain on your knees, and you and your doctor will work together to enhance your overall joint function so you can return to your regular activities with more flexibility and less pain.
You will be given specific exercises to improve the stability of your knees and relieve your pain. Joint mobilization may also be included in your treatment plan to improve joint movement or other soft tissue treatments that relieve pain and promote the healing of damaged tissues.
The physical therapy treatments at MEDIQ Physical Therapy might be able to help you avoid having to undergo costly and painful surgery as well.
