Are you used to hearing the cracking sounds in your knee as you bend? Have you ever felt your kneecap move – quite literally – as you jump those last two stairs and land, trying to catch your balance?
Knee pain is very real and very common, more than you might think.
Fortunately, physical therapy can have you sorted.
Treating Knee Pain With Physical Therapy
One of the most common reasons for visiting an ortho surgeon in the States is complaints of knee pain. And these aren’t just for people above their fifties. Knee pain can start at any time, due to any reason. It can be because of weak knees, a sports injury, or muscle damage.

What We Treat
Knee pain creeps up on you in various ways. We deal with several types to have you up and running – quite literally – in no time.
Have a look at what we’re used to treat:
Osteoarthritis
What may begin as seemingly age-related wear and tear of the knee can turn into a painful condition where the bones rub together. Prevent osteoarthritis or pick it up in its early stages with guided physical therapy.
Torn Cartilage
Sometimes you can tear your knee with something as simple as turning too quickly while bearing weight. Unfortunately, torn cartilage then produces extreme pain. But a few exercises can get you on track to a healthy knee again.
Bursitis
Your knees have a bursa: a sac filled with fluid. Inflammation of the sacs might make your knee feel quite warm or swollen. More than medication, adequate rest, icing, and the right compression techniques can help you gain relief.
Have another type of knee pain? Reach out to our experts – they’ve seen it all and can guide you through.
Suffering Through Knee Pain?
Expensive surgeries, side-effect-generating medication, and elaborate ortho processes should not scare you anymore. Instead of suppressing your knee pain, and thinking you’ll get through it, take a proactive, long-term approach with physical therapy.
