Knee Pain Treatments We Offer

• Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation: Our customized physical therapy programs are designed to strengthen the muscles around your knee, improve flexibility, and reduce pain. Our experienced therapists guide you through exercises that can help restore knee function and support your long-term recovery. Physical therapy is often the first step in addressing knee pain and can also be used in conjunction with other treatments to maximize effectiveness. We create individualized plans based on your current fitness level, lifestyle, and the specific nature of your knee pain.
• Injection Therapy: For those dealing with chronic knee pain, we offer injection therapies such as corticosteroids, hyaluronic acid, or PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) injections to reduce inflammation and improve joint lubrication, allowing for smoother movement. Injection therapy can provide long-lasting relief for many patients and serves as a minimally invasive option for managing pain. PRP injections, in particular, use your body’s healing properties to promote tissue repair and reduce pain, making it a natural and effective alternative for many.
• Minimally Invasive Procedures: When conservative treatment options aren’t enough, our orthopedic specialists may recommend minimally invasive procedures, such as arthroscopy, to address issues like torn ligaments or damaged cartilage. These procedures reduce recovery time and get you back to your daily activities faster. Arthroscopy allows our surgeons to visualize, diagnose, and treat problems inside the knee joint with small incisions, minimizing tissue damage and promoting quicker healing. We focus on ensuring that each patient has the best possible outcome with minimal disruption to their daily life.
• Knee Replacement Surgery: In cases of severe arthritis or injury, knee replacement surgery may be the best option. Our skilled surgeons use advanced techniques to replace damaged portions of the knee joint, providing pain relief and improving function. We ensure that each patient receives thorough preoperative counseling and postoperative care for a successful recovery. Knee replacement surgery can be either partial or total, depending on the extent of the damage. Our surgeons will discuss the best approach for you, ensuring you fully understand the procedure and what to expect during recovery. Our postoperative care team is dedicated to guiding you through every recovery phase, including physical therapy and regular follow-up visits.

Conditions Treated

We provide treatments for a wide range of conditions that cause knee pain, including:

• Osteoarthritis: A common form of arthritis that results in the breakdown of knee cartilage, leading to pain and stiffness.
• Meniscus Tears: Tears in the knee’s cartilage, often due to twisting or overuse, can cause pain and swelling.
• Ligament Injuries (ACL, MCL, PCL): Ligament injuries, such as those involving the ACL, MCL, or PCL, can result from sports activities, sudden movements, or accidents. These injuries can cause significant pain, instability, and reduced knee function.
• Tendinitis is inflammation of the tendons, often caused by repetitive movements, that causes pain in the front of the knee.
• Bursitis: Swelling of the small fluid-filled sacs (bursae) that cushion the knee joint, resulting in pain and restricted movement.
• Patellar Instability: A condition where the kneecap moves out of its normal position, leading to pain and discomfort, especially during activities like running or jumping.
• Post-traumatic Knee Pain: Pain resulting from previous injuries or accidents that have affected the knee’s stability and function. These conditions may require ongoing management to prevent further deterioration.

Holistic Approach to Knee Pain

At Motion Orthopedics, successful treatment requires a holistic approach. Beyond treating the symptoms, we work to identify and address the underlying causes of knee pain. This includes understanding your physical activity levels, your lifestyle, and any other health conditions contributing to your knee issues. Our team may also recommend lifestyle changes, including diet modifications, weight management strategies, and exercises that can improve your overall joint health. We believe in empowering our patients to actively participate in their recovery process.

Frequently Asked Questions About Knee Pain

• How do I know if I need surgery for my knee pain?
  • Surgery is usually recommended if conservative treatments like physical therapy or injections do not provide sufficient relief or if you have a severe injury, such as a torn ligament or advanced arthritis. Our specialists will thoroughly evaluate and discuss all available treatment options to ensure surgery is the best action.
• How long does recovery take after knee treatment?
  • Recovery time depends on the type of treatment you receive. Physical therapy may require several weeks, while minimally invasive procedures often have shorter recovery times than traditional surgeries. Recovery from knee replacement surgery may take a few months, during which physical therapy and rehabilitation play crucial roles in restoring knee function. Our team will provide you with a detailed recovery plan tailored to your needs.
• Can knee pain be prevented?
  • While some causes of knee pain, such as injuries or arthritis, may not always be preventable, there are steps you can take to reduce your risk. Maintaining a healthy weight, staying active with low-impact exercises, and strengthening the muscles around the knee can all contribute to better knee health. Our team can provide personalized recommendations to help you prevent future knee pain.
