Knee Pain
“How To End Knee Pain And Stiffness Without Painkillers, Risking Surgery Or Having To Wait To See The Doctor”
Does one or both of your knees hurt and/or feel unstable?
The humble knee joint is at the root of many of our patient's physical obstacles and limitations. But even though the knee might seem like a simple ball and socket joint from the outside, inside, it's much more complicated than that – because there are four crucial ligaments and many other smaller ligaments and tendons that run right through the knee joint like an NJ Turnpike interchange. There's also the kneecap, or as it's more commonly called, the “patella” – all knitted together with connective tissue and cushioned by cartilage. So, the list of things that can go wrong with the knee and cause knee pain is extensive, to say the least.
It's one of the biggest joints in the body that is under intense stress and strain every day. Without your knees in full working order, you can't run, dance, or drive, and if your knee pain is severe enough, you cannot even walk. Everything you usually take for granted can cause severe pain when something is up with your knee(s). That's why knee problems often lead to total knee replacement for patients who ignore the pain for too long.
Your knee pain could be a dislocated kneecap or wear and tear and erosion of the cartilage underneath it. You may have overstretched and strained one of the many ligaments supporting the joint and enabling your knee to bend, stretch, twist, and turn. It could be a torn meniscus or patella tendonitis. There are too many conditions to mention. That's why you need a physical therapist to pinpoint the issue – and fix it quickly. You need to know how to stretch knee joints effectively!
That’s the bad news, but the good news is that we successfully treat patients with knee pain and stiffness daily at Apex Orthopedic Rehabilitation. It's one of the most common pain issues we treat.
“But Why is This Happening to me?”
or
“WHY DO I STILL HAVE KNEE PAIN AFTER 6 MONTHS+?””
Hopefully, you haven’t been in pain every day for 6+ months. But many of the patients we see have waited that long, sometimes even longer. Mistakenly believing that everyone gets knee pain – especially above a certain age. But this is a misconception. Your knees should move freely without pain or stiffness, regardless of age, and something is wrong if they don’t. You need a physical therapist ASAP before things get even worse.
Have you had knee pain for over 7 days?
Yo've probably been asking for a while, "what causes knee pain?" If your knee pain has been hanging around for more than a week. You've probably seen a doctor who told you to take anti-inflammatory medication, "take it easy," and come back and see them if the pain doesn't improve. Sadly, for most people, the pain doesn't improve. They waste hours returning back and forward to the doctor’s office only to be given more lousy advice.

"I came to Tom because I had some ankle pain. I'm a dancer, so every day I put a lot of stress and pressure and strain on my body, and on my feet. I came to Tom and got exercises to do, which weren't even that hard, didn’t take up that much time. I could see an improvement very quickly with my strength."
