Here at Genuine Care Physical Therapy, we understand how having bad knees can hinder daily activities. That’s why we want to take this time to talk about knee pain.  When it comes to the knees, it is easy to blame ‘age’ that brings about ‘wear and tear’ in everybody’s life. Incorrectly, people assume they just need to ‘deal’ with knee pain until such a time as a joint replacement becomes unavoidable. Alternately, some people just ignore knee pain, believing it will disappear in time. Both scenarios lead the patient to a life of constant pain. This life of pain is one that our dedicated team at Genuine Care Physical Therapy strive to heal – we promise you that knee pain can be overcome.

You don’t know why this is happening to you; furthermore, it doesn’t seem to be getting any better. What can you do?

Well, the good news is you are not alone and many others have been where you are now. Indeed, knee pain is one of the most common issues that we deal with in Genuine Care Physical Therapy.

Below you’ll find the most common stages sufferers of knee-pain go through: 

Whereas with flu, or even just an achy body after a gym workout, we feel a lot better after a few days – so, why not with knee pain? It is important to remember that knee pain is unique, and, unlike a headache or stomachache, knee pain can be exacerbated by various activities. For this reason, many people avoid straining activities and believe the knee-pain will disappear of its own accord, but unfortunately waiting for the pain to vanish only increases its strength in time. 

As often happens, patients with a seemingly chronic pain condition are prescribed painkillers by their doctors. Unfortunately, these tablets are often counterintuitive and the patient ends up on a higher and more detrimental dose. For recurring, mechanical pain, painkillers are not the answer! 

Most doctor visits can be confusing, but when it comes to knee pain things get even more complicated than usual. Unfortunately, the diagnosis given to the patient is usually pretty gloomy.  ‘Bone-on-bone’ or other confusing statements are often used, leaving the patient vulnerable and impressionable. In these instances, many believe a joint replacement is the only solution for the pain. The truth is, however, that even joint replacements tear or malfunction and thereafter cannot be replaced.  The best treatment is ALWAYS prevention, and we here at Genuine Care Physical Therapy can help you with just that! 

Are you confused because you have been told so many different things by an even larger amount of different people? Are you no longer sure whether Google or YouTube have more answers than your doctor? Every day we are faced with a multitude of answers for problems we didn’t even know we had, and for patients with knee pain it becomes even worse. Which exercise helps for knee pain? Should you walk or should you rest? The lack of clarity and the overwhelming uncertainty leads people to procrastinate, hoping that indecision saves them from the wrong choice. Many people assume that knee pain will disappear eventually: they are choosing to just ‘live with it’ – don’t let this be you. 

Is this how you feel? Don’t let knee pain debilitate you anymore!
