Knee Pain
Knee pain can be quite debilitating, as it is one of the most used and complex joints of the human body. The stability of the knee is due to four ligaments, muscles and the actual joint structure. During the course of a normal day, the knee goes through a whole range of motions, from sitting, walking, twisting etc. The knee also supports our weight in conjunction to the feet. Because of the abuse we put our knees through there can be damage to the muscle, cartilage or the joint itself.
Some of the pain can be alleviated with the use of anti-inflammatory ointments or tablets, more severe cases need medical attention for a more effective treatment while some patients have even had their knee or knees replaced. You may qualify for our knee treatments that may end your knee pain without dangerous drugs or surgery. There is a new FDA cleared, safe, gentle, and effective therapy for people who suffer from knee pain due to osteoarthritis, bone spurs, trauma-related knee pain, degenerative arthritis, and other conditions that lead to chronic knee pain.
Symptoms of knee dysfunction can vary from person to person and can range from nagging to acute pain, or discomfort while doing normal daily chores. See us for an evaluation if you experience any of these symptoms:
