Knee Pain
Our goal is to address the root cause of your knee pain, not just the symptoms, to help you return to your favorite activities – whether it’s sports, walking, or simply moving with ease.
What Is Knee Pain?
Knee pain is a common issue that affects people of all ages and activity levels. It can result from acute injuries, such as falls or accidents, or from chronic conditions like arthritis, overuse, or improper movement patterns. People involved in high-impact sports, like rock climbing, may also experience knee pain due to sudden movements, including jumping or rotational actions that put excessive stress on the knee joint.
The knee is a complex joint with ligaments, tendons, and muscles that work together to support movement. When any of these components are strained, damaged, or overused, it can lead to pain and discomfort. Knee pain can also be associated with swelling, stiffness, and a reduced range of motion, making it difficult to perform everyday activities such as walking, running, or climbing stairs.
Whether you’re an athlete or someone dealing with everyday wear and tear, knee pain can significantly impact your quality of life. The good news is that effective treatments can help alleviate pain, reduce inflammation, and restore mobility. At Castrell Neuromuscular Therapy, we offer a comprehensive approach to treating knee pain, addressing the root causes for long-term relief.
What Are The Symptoms Of Knee Pain?
Knee pain can present in several ways depending on the cause. Common symptoms include sharp or dull pain around the knee joint, often worsened by activities like walking, running, or climbing stairs. The pain may be felt on the front, sides, or back of the knee, depending on the underlying issue.
If the knee pain is related to an injury, it may be accompanied by swelling, bruising, or redness around the joint. Some individuals experience stiffness or limited flexibility, making it difficult to bend or straighten the knee fully. In more severe cases, the knee may feel unstable or give way when walking or standing, which can make performing daily activities challenging.
Knee pain can also be associated with inflammation in the joint. Swelling may occur after periods of activity or as a result of overuse. In such cases, it can be difficult to move the knee for extended periods or carry weight without discomfort. If you are experiencing these symptoms, it’s important to seek professional evaluation to determine the cause and appropriate treatment.
What Is Our Approach To Fixing/Treating Knee Pain?
At Castrell Neuromuscular Therapy, we take a comprehensive and personalized approach to treating knee pain. Our process begins with a detailed initial evaluation where we discuss the history of the pain, any past injuries, and how it is affecting your daily life. We look at the movements and activities that aggravate or alleviate the pain to help us understand the underlying causes.
Our treatment approach includes a range of modalities tailored to each client’s unique needs. For some, manual hands-on techniques like deep transverse friction can help alleviate pain and improve mobility. We may also use assisted soft tissue therapy to target areas surrounding the knee, as well as lymphatic drainage techniques to reduce swelling and inflammation. These methods help control excessive swelling and bruising, which can impede the healing process.
In cases where the pain is more severe, we may recommend radial shockwave therapy. This modality is highly effective in treating chronic or intense knee pain by promoting tissue repair, reducing inflammation, and improving circulation. Radial shockwave therapy is particularly useful for individuals who need more intensive support to address deeper issues around the knee joint.
Throughout treatment, we continually assess progress and adjust the approach as needed. Our goal is to address the root cause of your knee pain, not just the symptoms, to help you return to your favorite activities – whether it’s sports, walking, or simply moving with ease. With our holistic approach, many of our clients experience lasting relief and improved quality of life.
