It’s time to get active again now that the weather is getting warmer! However, sometimes being active can be difficult if you suffer from knee pain. There are many types of knee pain ranging from acute, or recent, to chronic, or long lasting.
Acute knee pain is usually caused by trauma, like a fall or accident. The injury is usually a sprain or strain of knee muscles or ligaments. If not properly taken care of, these injuries can persist over time and become chronic.
Chronic knee pain continues over time and can be caused by conditions such as arthritis. The pain tends to worsen when a person is more active.
If you suffer from knee pain of acute or chronic nature, physical therapy can be helpful in reducing the pain and helping you get back to your normal activities and an active lifestyle. The physical therapist will complete a thorough evaluation and develop a treatment plan to address your specific deficits. The treatment regimen usually consists of modalities for pain control, an exercise program to address strength, range of motion and flexibility deficits, balance and proprioception training and education in a home program. If you think you may benefit from physical therapy services, please do not hesitate to contact us to schedule an evaluation appointment.
