Knee Pain

Knee pain is a prevalent issue impacting mobility and daily activities, often stemming from overuse, injuries, or conditions like osteoarthritis, patellofemoral pain syndrome, and meniscus tears. Symptoms include swelling, stiffness, instability, and sharp pain during movement. Diagnosis typically involves physical exams, imaging (X-rays or MRI), and sometimes arthroscopy. Treatment options range from rest, ice, and anti-inflammatory medications to physical therapy for strengthening and flexibility. Orthotics can provide essential support by improving alignment, reducing strain on the knee joint, and preventing further injury—especially beneficial for those with flat feet or pronation issues. Consult a specialist for personalized care to restore function and prevent recurrence.
