Pain Point Relief

Are You Experiencing Knee Pain?

Common Causes of Knee Pain

The knee is called the “stupid joint” between the hip and the ankle because it gets injured when the true cause occurs at the hip/core, ankle or both. Your knee is a complex joint with many components, making it vulnerable to a variety of injuries. Some of the most common knee injuries include fractures, dislocations, sprains, and ligament tears. Physical therapy can be beneficial as an alternative to surgery, or is often recommended after recovering from arthroscopy or a more invasive knee replacement. This includes exercises and modalities – to help decrease your knee pain, increase strength and range of motion, and improve your overall mobility and stability. Physical therapy and acupuncture are common treatments for knee pain.
