Knee Pain Treatment

If you have severe knee pain, it can be difficult to stand, walk or even sleep in certain positions. The knee is one of the most common joints to be injured, which can result in immediate pain and a higher chance of developing arthritis. If you have acute or chronic knee pain, there are treatments available to provide chronic pain relief at Medici Orthopaedics & Spine clinics in the Atlanta area.

Treatment for knee pain depends on the cause of discomfort. Strains and sprains of the knee are common, especially when running or playing sports. Injuries to the ligaments, tendons, knee-cap, cartilage or other knee joint components can also cause pain. Arthritis is a common cause of chronic knee pain and can be continuous, lasting six months and longer. Conservative treatments for various types of knee pain include medications, injections for inflammation and physical therapy. With the right combination of treatments, knee pain can be managed to help improve mobility and recovery.
