When Knee Pain is Serious

Any joint pain is serious when it prevents you from doing the activities of daily living. If rest, ice, and elevation fail to work that should tell you that the patellofemoral joint needs medical attention. Pay attention to symptoms like swelling of the patellofemoral joint especially if it prevents you from locking your knee joint in flexion or extension. When going upstairs and you find that the joint pain shows a marked increase your symptoms are serious. More noticeable symptoms would be if your knee gives out making it more difficult to bear weight. How many symptoms does it take to make you aware of a serious health issue? You should probably have already sought medical advice. Fever is another thing to be cognizant of when having knee joint pain. Another major concern would be clotting behind the patellofemoral joint. Pain is bad but pay close attention to the red flags of joint pain as it may be a symptom of a more serious condition. Knee pain that goes untreated will only get worse and no one should continue with knee pain.

4 Main Causes of Knee Pain

Arthritis or Degenerative Joint Disease

Arthritis is the most common cause of patient visits to their doctor for knee problems. When the knee joint is painful you can expect a lack of mobility that increases the wearing away of the end plates of the femur and tibia. When Advil and Aleve stop working you are flirting with a degenerative joint. Arthritis is pain and swelling that will get worse unless you seek medical attention. Please see your doctor it usually does not go away by itself!

Knee Trauma from Sports Injuries

You do not have to be a doctor to understand that an injury needs immediate medical attention. Ruling out tears and fractures is really important as close to the time of injury to obtain the best outcomes. If it hurts after an injury go to your doctor. Suppose that you have a blood clot. You may need an MRI, and a doctor has to order it. If the joint is unstable you can do much more damage. Even if there is no damage to the cartilage in the knee joint knowing so allows for faster resolution. I hope this appeals to your common sense.

Autoimmune Related Knee Pain

Rheumatoid Arthritis is the most common cause of chronic knee pain, Lupus would be the second most common reason for joint pain. Autoimmune disease is when your body attacks itself. Blood tests will reveal these to be the cause due to autoimmune joint pain. This is harder to treat and you need to be proactive and get to your doctor asap. Ruling out joint pain due to autoimmune factors requires you to be diligent. Creams or vitamins will not help the pain associated with auto-immune degenerative joint disease. Do not ignore pain, your life is difficult enough when your health is threatened by Lupus or Rheumatoid. 

Knee Bursitis and Tendinitis

Bursitis is inflammation of one of the 11 bursae in the knee joint. A bursa is a fluid-filled sac that acts as a cushion between muscles, tendons, bones, and ligaments. Chronic stress will irritate the bursa and make it more difficult to move freely, hence more pain.
Tendinitis is an inflamed tendon usually from something like Lupus, Rheumatoid, or overuse syndromes. Look for swelling, bumpy nodules, and a loss of normal mobility. See your doctor!

How to Stop Chronic Knee Pain

It all starts with an examination. Chances are that if you have had knee pain for more than 12 months you will need advanced imaging. X-rays are less expensive and might suffice but MRIs are a better diagnostic tool to see soft tissue injuries. Your doctor along with a radiologist's report will identify the problem. Now a solution for your chronic knee pain can be derived.

For my patients, once I determine that I can help their knee issues I begin to order the Knee on Trac. The Knee on Trac is a special therapy that helps your body to produce more synovial fluid. Synovial fluid is a lubricant. Since there is pain there will be inflammation. Synovial fluid acts to quell the swelling associated with pain and inflammation.

How to Fix Chronic Knee Pain

As mentioned earlier the Knee on Trac is a cornerstone of knee pain care at Core Health Darien. We also use shockwave therapy to break up muscle adhesions and enhance blood flow via angiogenesis. A newer method of treating chronic knee pain is to use blood flow, restriction bands. The elastic bands are placed at the hips and limit blood flow and therefore oxygen to the muscles of the leg. This creates a deficit that causes a rush of oxygenated blood into damaged tissue to rejuvenate the muscles and to some extent the ligaments.

Core Health Darien also offers Tri-Genics as a way to stimulate nerve fibers from the muscles and tendons to the spinal cord to help inhibit pain. We also use laser therapy to allow the body to ramp up the production of nitric oxide, a powerful vasodilator to drive more healing blood to the muscles causing your chronic knee pain.

When Knee Pain Doesn't Go Away?

Call us 203-656-3636 and make an appointment see if you qualify to be a patient! Now if you have been told that you require a knee replacement we may not be a good fit. Maybe you have tried physical therapy and the pain persists. We employ many physical therapies in our Knee on Trac protocol. We have helped some people become pain free even after knee replacement failed.  Having said that we don't help everyone, this is why an exam is the first step. We feel that we offer a solid solution to chronic knee pain problems such as patella-femoral syndrome. Sometimes there is a muscle in the back of the knee called the popliteus that can cause pain and that pain can be mistaken for a Baker's cyst. When 

What's the most common cause of chronic knee pain?

Patients often ask me, "How do I stop persistent knee pain?" My first question back to the patient is usually what are you doing to aggravate your knee? Do you have dull aching pain under the kneecap? Did you have an accident? Is there an old sports injury? Did your parents have arthritis? Do you exercise regularly? Are you overweight? All of these and more are solid reasons to have chronic knee pain There are so many ways that someone can have chronic knee pain. It is nice to know what caused knee pain but if you have chronic knee pain figuring out how to fix it is more important. Let's get into how we do this at Core Health Darien. A patient is examined from their back. hips, legs, patella-femoral joint all the way to their feet. We evaluate a patients lower motor unit from top to bottom. The hips can cause knee pain because the femoral head inserts onto the hip. The lower back is where the nerves that go into your knee starts and this can be another cause of knee pain. You must look at the entire motor unit to get an understanding of how to fix knee issues.

Trigenics for Knee Pain

Knee pain is a common complaint among people of all ages. It can be caused by a variety of factors, such as injury, overuse, or arthritis. Knee pain can be debilitating and can affect a person's ability to walk, run, and engage in other physical activities. One technique that has gained popularity in recent years for the treatment of knee pain is Trigenics. Trigenics is a non-invasive, hands-on approach to the treatment of musculoskeletal pain and dysfunction. It is based on the principles of neurology, functional anatomy, and biomechanics. The technique involves a combination of manual therapy, therapeutic exercise, and neurosensory integration. Trigenics works by stimulating the nervous system to retrain the muscles and joints to work together in a more coordinated and efficient manner. This can help to reduce pain and improve joint function. The technique can be used to treat a variety of conditions, including knee pain. When it comes to knee pain, Trigenics can be particularly effective in treating conditions such as patellofemoral pain syndrome, knee osteoarthritis, and ligament injuries. Trigenics can also be used as a rehabilitation technique to help prevent knee injuries from occurring in the first place. During a Trigenics treatment session for knee pain, the practitioner will first perform a thorough evaluation of the knee joint and surrounding structures. They will then use a variety of manual therapy techniques to release tension in the muscles, fascia, and other soft tissues around the knee joint. These techniques may include massage, myofascial release, and joint mobilization. After the manual therapy techniques have been applied, the practitioner will guide the patient through a series of therapeutic exercises designed to help retrain the muscles and joints to work together in a more coordinated manner. These exercises may include balance training, strength training, and proprioceptive training. Throughout the treatment session, the practitioner will also use neurosensory integration techniques to help the nervous system to "relearn" how to control the knee joint. This may involve the use of vibration therapy, light touch, or other sensory stimulation techniques. Trigenics is a safe and effective technique for the treatment of knee pain. It is non-invasive, drug-free, and can be used in conjunction with other forms of treatment, such as physical therapy and medication. It can also be used as a preventative measure to help reduce the risk of knee injuries in the future.In conclusion, Trigenics is an effective technique for the treatment of knee pain. It works by retraining the nervous system to help the muscles and joints work together in a more coordinated and efficient manner. This can help to reduce pain and improve joint function. Trigenics can be used to treat a variety of knee conditions, and it is a safe and non-invasive form of treatment. If you are experiencing knee pain, consider giving Trigenics a try.
