Knee pain can come on suddenly after an injury or build slowly over time from wear, overuse, weakness, or poor mechanics. Whether your pain shows up on stairs, while squatting, during exercise, or even just getting out of a chair, our goal is to understand what is driving it and create a treatment plan that makes sense.
Schedule an Appointment View All ServicesKnee pain can come from many different structures, including the joint surfaces, ligaments, tendons, cartilage, muscles, or surrounding mechanics of the hip, ankle, and foot. Some knee problems are clearly injury-related, while others develop from repetitive stress, poor movement patterns, arthritis, or muscle imbalance.
In some patients, the knee itself is the main issue. In others, the knee is taking extra stress because of weakness in the hip, tightness in the leg, altered walking mechanics, or poor control during bending and loading. That is why a good knee evaluation should look beyond just the painful spot.
Discomfort that shows up during walking, climbing stairs, squatting, or standing up from a seated position.
The knee may feel inflamed, puffy, stiff, or more sensitive after activity.
Some patients notice popping, shifting, or a feeling that the knee is not supporting them well.
The knee may not bend or straighten normally, especially after rest, exercise, or repeated use.
Knee pain can be connected to a number of different conditions, including patellofemoral pain, tendon irritation, ligament strain, meniscus problems, arthritic changes, muscle imbalance, and overuse injuries. Sports, work demands, weightlifting, running, and everyday wear and tear can all play a role depending on the patient.
Some patients also have knee pain that is influenced by hip weakness, foot mechanics, or limited mobility elsewhere in the body. Treating the knee well often means looking at the entire movement chain.
At Relief Plus, treatment is based on your symptoms, exam findings, and the structures that appear to be involved. Depending on your condition, your treatment plan may include:

Your plan is built around your symptoms, activity level, work demands, and goals.
