Knee Pain

 

The knee is a fascinating joint.  When we think of joints in the human body most often we picture a ball and socket joint.  Like the joint in our hips.  Actually the knee is a hinge joint that swings in roughly a 90 degree arc similar to the hinge on a door.

Knee Pain Solutions

Due t the knee being a hinge joint, the tendons and muscles around it are actually what give the knee its stability rather than the bony structure of the joint itself. The muscles hold the knee in place and ensure it moves correctly through its range of motion.  When the muscles fail to do their job the tendons can be called on to do more than their fair share.  If the load is too much for just the tendon, the tendon can fray (partial tear) or sever (full tear).

If a full tendon tear is the result of the injury there is no way around it, surgery may be necessary.  But, for the vast majority of other knee injuries, pain and limitation, Physical Therapy is an excellent handling that can get you back to 100%.

How does Health Motion treat and rehabilitate knees? By locating the source of the issue and then addressing that.  This may mean we may have to repair the partially torn tendon; and yes, there are non-surgical treatments we use to repair tendons.  If we find old scar tissue from years and years ago that needs to be cleaned out we have non-surgical procedures for this as well.  Muscles can be strengthened, coordination and flexibility increased, and we can use many other treatments to handle your knee pain and get you back to the things you love doing.
