What causes Knee pain?
Knee pain is a widespread issue that affects individuals of all age groups, and there are various factors that can contribute to its development. One common cause of knee pain is injury to the supporting structures such as ligaments, tendons, and meniscus. These injuries can occur during sports activities, work-related tasks, or even simple actions like climbing stairs. When these supporting structures are damaged, it can result in acute or chronic knee pain. Weakness in the surrounding muscles, improper foot mechanics, or repetitive activities can also place excessive stress on the knee joint, leading to discomfort and pain. Ligaments and tendons may become overstretched, inflamed, or even torn, which can result in joint instability, persistent pain, and the degeneration of the joint cartilage and meniscus.
Another common cause of knee pain is osteoarthritis, a degenerative condition that affects the knee joint. Osteoarthritis is characterized by symptoms such as knee pain, swelling, stiffness, and joint weakness. The condition arises from the gradual wear and tear of the joint cartilage over time, leading to pain and reduced function. Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) is another type of arthritis that can cause knee pain.
It occurs when the immune system mistakenly attacks the joints, resulting in inflammation and discomfort. Gouty Arthritis, on the other hand, is caused by the deposition of uric acid crystals or calcium within the joint, leading to episodes of intense pain and inflammation. It’s important to note that several factors can contribute to knee pain, including diet, daily activities, exercise habits, and stress levels.

Understanding your knee pain diagnosis and treatment
Knee pain can significantly impact daily activities such as walking, standing, or squatting. It’s important to note that knee pain treatment options vary depending on the underlying cause of the pain.
When it comes to treating knee pain, the first step is to accurately diagnose the cause. A knee pain specialist will take a thorough symptom history to understand the nature and intensity of your pain. They will also perform a comprehensive physical examination to assess your knee’s range of motion, stability, and any signs of swelling or tenderness. In some cases, simple imaging techniques like X-rays and ultrasounds can provide valuable information about the condition of your knee joint.
Once a diagnosis is established, our dedicated team will work with you to create a personalized knee pain treatment plan. We understand that every individual is unique, and our goal is to tailor the treatment approach to your specific needs. Depending on the underlying cause and severity of your knee pain, various treatment options may be recommended. Treatment options may include things like physical therapy, 1 on 1, with a licensed physical therapist to help strengthen the muscles and improve stability, the use of assistive devices such as knee braces or orthotics to improve support, supplements to improve joint health and decrease inflammation, and more advanced interventions like regenerative injections with platelet rich plasma PRP or stem cells to target the source of the pain and promote healing. These treatments can help reduce inflammation, stimulate tissue regeneration, and provide long-term relief for knee pain.

Dr. Sebastian and his staff couldn’t have been more professional or caring. I was in pain for a long time without relief from an orthopedic doctor. From my first visit with Dr.Sebastian I knew I was in good hands. He took the time to explain the issue and his plan for treatment. I am pain free !!!
