Navigating Knee Pain
We rely on our knees every day. As the largest joints in our bodies, they take on a lot of pressure and strain. This can often result in injuries. Likewise, conditions that affect our knee joints can severely impact our lives.
Knee pain can slow you down, making movement or exercise too difficult to pursue. If you are living with knee pain there are treatments available that can help. Reach out to our team to find out how we can help you.
Causes of Knee Pain
As our knees hold most of our weight they are more prone to injury than other areas of our body. Your muscles, bones and tendons can all be damaged causing pain and sometimes a long recovery.
Similarly, conditions such as bursitis can cause fluid to fill the sacs around your knees. This can result in swelling and pain if left untreated. These conditions and injuries are generally caused by overuse and muscle strain.
Likewise, aging can slowly deteriorate your muscles and bone strength. This can result in the development of arthritis or other conditions. These conditions can make it difficult to move without pain.
Knee Pain Symptoms
Several symptoms can characterise knee pain such as pain around the front, back or sides of the knee. Likewise, this pain can spread upwards or downwards depending on the cause.
Knee pain can also cause you to have difficulty straightening your knees or putting weight on them. This may result in frequent tripping or falls. If your knee joint has been strained it may also lock or click into place. This sensation can be uncomfortable or painful.
Your pain may also present as a heat, or ache that does not dissipate over time. Knee pain may also cause redness, bruising or swelling to develop around your knee joints.
Knee Pain Treatments
There are many different treatments available for knee pain. Whether you want to prevent potential injuries or find relief, these treatments can help.
Physiotherapy
A physiotherapist can help you navigate your recovery. Likewise, with a tailored exercise and stretching plan you can build your strength and flexibility. This can help you relieve muscle tension and pain and prevent future injuries.
Naturopathy
With natural medicines and treatments, our team can help you navigate your pain. Whether it has been caused by an injury or condition, naturopathy offers a holistic approach to meeting your needs.
Acupuncture
Acupuncture is the use of needles placed at specific areas of the body to relieve tension. This can help your muscles relax and reduce pain caused by strain, stress or injury.
If a severe injury has caused your knee pain, surgery may be recommended as a treatment. Likewise, medication can help you mitigate knee pain but is unlikely to treat the cause of your concerns.
Frequently Asked Questions
What should I avoid if I have knee pain?
If you experience knee pain avoid activities that would put additional pressure on them. Running, jumping and other exercises can all make potential injuries worse and cause more pain.
How do I know if my knee pain needs treatment?
If your knee can no longer hold your weight you may need treatment. Likewise, if you experience pain even while resting it is recommended you see a professional to assess the cause.
How can I treat knee pain?
Knee pain is best treated with rest. Avoid overusing your muscles so they have time to recover. Likewise, medication, heat or ice can help you relax your muscles and treat pain.
Strapping your knee can also help compress the area and provide stability. However, it is important to get a professional to do it properly to ensure your knee joint is protected.
