Knee Pain

Knee Pain

Your knee joints are two of the largest and most complex joints in your  body. They support the weight of your upper body while allowing for a  wide range of movement. Any injury or pain that affects these joints can  restrict your movement and severely limit your ability to perform  everyday activities. The dedicated physiatrists at Spine & Sports  Medical Group in Campbell, California and San Jose, California, can  provide relief from pain and address the cause of your symptoms. Don’t  continue to suffer from joint pain — call the office or use the online  booking tool to make an appointment and start treatment today. 


 

Knee Pain Q & A


What causes knee pain?

Knee pain is most  common after an injury from sudden physical trauma. If you don’t receive  the correct medical treatment for a knee injury it can also develop  into a chronic pain condition that is more difficult to resolve. Common  causes of knee pain also include excessive weight, mechanical problems,  and diseases like arthritis.


How do you diagnose knee pain?

After  an injury, it's important to get medical attention from a specialist at  Spine & Sports Medical Group to ensure you make a full recovery and  don’t increase your chances of future complications with chronic pain. 

Your  specialist performs a physical exam by pressing on various parts of  your knee and moving it into various positions to assess the level of  your pain and mobility. They may also order additional imaging tests to  confirm their diagnosis, or to rule out other underlying conditions that  may be the cause of your knee pain.

Your specialist may also  suggest a minimally invasive arthroscopic procedure if they’re unable to  confirm your diagnosis with a physical exam and imaging tests. During  an arthroscopy, a tube with a fiber-optic camera and light attached is  inserted into your body through a tiny incision. This allows your  specialist to see the inner parts of your knee joint and assess any  areas of damage.


How do you treat knee pain?

The team  at Spine & Sports Medical Group may suggest a variety of different  therapies to help with your knee pain. Some of these include:


Trigger-point injections

Your  specialist can perform trigger-point injection therapy that delivers  corticosteroids or other medicine to reduce inflammation and provide  pain relief.


Platelet-rich plasma therapy

This  innovative treatment harnesses the regenerative qualities of platelets  which play an important role in healing when you suffer an injury. PRP  uses your platelets’ growth and healing properties to speed up your  recovery and repair tissues damaged by injury or disease.


Arthroscopy

Minimally invasive arthroscopic surgery can be used as a treatment to repair minor injuries like a patellar misalignment. 


Surgery

Serious  injuries, like a torn anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) or meniscus, may  require more invasive surgery to repair or replace these damaged  components of your knee. The practice also uses allografts, in which  donor tissue is used to replace your own damaged knee tissues.

Most  surgical procedures are combined with physical therapy, which  strengthens your knee and restores its flexibility and range of  movement. 

To learn more about the various procedures that can  help relieve your knee pain, call the office or use the online  scheduling tool to book an appointment today.

We also see patients  in the following surrounding cities: Santa Clara, San Jose, Los Gatos,  Saratoga, Cupertino, Mountain View, Palo Alto, Los Altos, Milpitas,  Fremont, Morgan Hill, and Gilroy. Book your appointment today.
