Knee Conditions

The knee is a complex, weight-bearing joint that absorbs a tremendous amount of stress every day. Whether your knee pain is the result of a sudden sports injury (like an ACL or meniscus tear) or years of gradual wear-and-tear leading to arthritis, our goal is to accurately identify the source of your pain and provide treatments that keep you moving comfortably.

Common Symptoms

• A popping sensation followed by immediate swelling at the time of injury
• Pain that worsens when walking, climbing stairs, or squatting
• A feeling that the knee is "giving way" or unstable
• Catching, clicking, or locking of the knee joint
• Morning stiffness that improves as you move around

Treatment Options

• Weight management and low-impact exercise programs
• Joint lubricating injections (Hyaluronic acid) or PRP therapy
• Arthroscopic surgery to trim or repair a torn meniscus
• Ligament reconstruction using minimally invasive techniques
• Partial or total knee replacement for end-stage arthritis

Diagnosis

We will carefully examine your knee for swelling, tenderness, and stability using specific clinical tests. X-rays are the gold standard for diagnosing knee arthritis and bone alignment. An MRI is highly effective for identifying soft tissue injuries like torn ligaments or a damaged meniscus.

Management & Recovery

A strong knee requires strong supporting muscles. Regardless of whether you have surgery, rehabilitation will focus on strengthening your quadriceps, hamstrings, and core. We will also advise you on proper footwear and activities that protect your knee joints in the long run.
