Most cases of knee pain will get better on their own or with simple self-help treatments. Always seek medical attention if you experience severe knee pain after a fall or an accident.

What treatments are available for Knee pain?

Treatment for anterior knee pain will depend on the location and cause of the pain. Most anterior knee pain is caused by biomechanical dysfunction. Some patients may be candidates for arthroscopic surgery to remove torn cartilage or correct loosened meniscal fragments. In most cases, strengthening, range of motion, and functional rehabilitation can restore function and relieve pain.

Knee pain can be caused by various factors. It is often a result of a sports injury, improper muscle use, or trauma. Treatment can vary depending on the source of pain. Most knee pain can be managed through a combination of RICE (rest, ice, compression and elevation), physical exercises and rehabilitation. However, some cases require more specialized treatment that may include surgery.

Your Doctor will recommend the most appropriate treatment for the patient to relieve any knee pain. This usually requires rehabilitation, such as physiotherapy, to improve function and movement of the knee and strengthen muscle around the knee. Surgery may be required for patients with advanced or progressive disease that is not responding well to medical treatments.

The aim of knee surgery is to relieve pain and restore function. Exactly what treatments the surgeon recommends depends on the cause of your symptoms, and the condition of your bones, joints and soft tissues.

Your treatment will depend on the cause of your pain. Options include physical therapy, injections, and surgery for arthritis.
