Long Lasting Knee Pain Relief

The most common causes include osteoarthritis, sports injuries, tendinitis, bursitis, meniscus tears, and ligament injuries. Dr. Feghhi will properly diagnose the specific cause of your knee pain during your consultation.

You should seek medical attention if you experience: severe pain, significant swelling, inability to bear weight, instability or giving way, locking or catching, or if pain persists for more than a few weeks despite rest and home care.

Not all knee pain requires surgery. Many conditions can be treated conservatively with rest, physical therapy, medications, and injections. Surgery is typically recommended when conservative treatments fail to provide relief or for structural damage that requires repair.

Prevention strategies include: maintaining a healthy weight, strengthening leg muscles, proper warm-up before exercise, wearing appropriate footwear, using correct technique during activities, and avoiding overuse. Regular low-impact exercise like swimming and cycling can help keep knees healthy.

While knee pain becomes more common with age due to wear and tear, it can affect people of all ages. Young athletes may experience knee pain from injuries, while older adults may develop arthritis. Dr. Feghhi treats patients of all ages with personalized care plans.
