Knee Pain
How to stop chronic, annoying knee pain without injections, without taking painkillers and without having to wear a brace.
If you’re experiencing ongoing knee pain or discomfort, it’s common to think it’s simply a result of aging, "wear and tear," or something that will eventually resolve on its own. Many people find it difficult to identify the exact cause of their knee issues, and often, the pain seems to linger despite their best efforts. If this resonates with you, know that you’re not alone. Knee pain is one of the most frequent concerns we address at our practice.
01
Is Knee Pain Really Just a Sign of Aging?
If you’ve been told that your knee pain 'just something that comes with age', you’re not alone. Many people assume that knee pain is simply a sign of getting older, a bit of 'wear and tear,' or something that will eventually go away with some rest. Knee pain is often a symptom of underlying issues that need to be addressed. Resting may temporarily relieve discomfort, but without proper diagnosis and treatment, the problem is likely to persist or even worsen.​
02
​Tired of Temporary Solutions?
Many of our clients come to us after following their doctor’s advice to "rest," take painkillers, and use knee supports, only to find their symptoms persist or return once the medication wears off. This leaves you in a constant cycle of frustration and ongoing discomfort. If you’re caught in this cycle relying on painkillers, we can offer a more effective and long-lasting solution.​
03
Confused with Online Advice?
Perhaps you've tried following advice from friends or family, or maybe you've spent hours searching for the right exercises online, only to find that nothing seems to work or even more made it worse? Knee pain can be complex, and what works for one person usually will not work for another. Our targeted, personalised treatment plans will ensure we address your specific condition.​
Most Common Knee Injuries.
Patellofemoral Joint Pain
This condition accounts for 25% of all knee injuries. Often referred to as "runner's knee," it is a common condition characterised by pain around or behind the kneecap.
Iliotibial Band
Pain (ITB)
This injury occurs when the iliotibial band, a thick band of tissue running from the hip to the knee, becomes inflamed. This can cause pain on the outside of the knee, especially during activities like stair climbing, running or cycling.
Meniscus Tear
A meniscal tear involves damage to the meniscus, the C-shaped cartilage that acts as a cushion between the thighbone and shinbone. Tears can result from a sudden twist or pivot, particularly during sports. Depending on the severity, treatment may range from physiotherapy to surgery.
Knee
Osteoarthritis
Knee osteoarthritis is a degenerative joint disease where the cartilage that cushions the knee gradually wears away. This leads to pain, stiffness, and swelling, particularly during movement.
Anterior Cruciate
Ligament (ACL) Tear
An ACL injury typically occurs during sports that involve sudden stops, jumps, or changes in direction. Treatment can range from rehabilitation to surgical reconstruction, depending on the severity of the injury.
