5 Ways to Knock Out Knee Pain

09 Nov 5 Ways to Knock Out Knee Pain

Knee Pain Treatment

There are well over two dozen knee-specific conditions that trigger knee pain, and that isn’t even taking into consideration all of the systemic problems that could be to blame like diabetes or arthritis.  Avoid knee replacement surgery or other major changes that require weeks of bed rest and long periods of physical therapy by enlisting our Mile High Spine & Pain Center team to help. We can help diagnose the cause of your pain and offer natural solutions that don’t require surgery or drugs.

Getting to the Root Cause of Your Knee Pain

To stop pain, you have to understand it. You have to understand what is triggering it so you can begin treatment that fixes the problem. Mile High Spine & Pain Center uses various methods to diagnose your knee pain symptoms. The type of pain you are experiencing, your range of motion, and where you are experiencing the pain helps us to isolate the cause. We also discuss with you if the pain is triggered by certain activities/movements/recent injury and if there are any other visual cues that you see–bruising, discoloration, warmth, weakness, noises, etc. Our office is also equipped to offer you the diagnostic power of ultrasound to identify the health of your nerve centers, soft tissues and cartilage.  

Treating Your Knee Pain

When it comes to knee pain, what should you do? Do you wait it out? Rest it? Compress it? Ice it or apply heat? Mile High Spine & Pain Center is equipped to answer these questions and get you the relief that you need.  Don’t ignore your symptoms. Get on top of them. We offer the following five ways to naturally, and safely treat your knee pain:

  • Treatment Planning to Eliminate Overuse Activities: Treatment planning to reduce known contributors to overuse of the knee joint.
  • Massage Therapy: Hands-on treatment to help improve circulation to the knee joint for accelerated healing and to break up scar tissues. Massage therapy also helps improve range of motion.
  • Physical Therapy: Stretching and strengthening exercises to help give the knee joint the support it needs for greater stability and range of motion.
  • Anti-Inflammatory Joint Injections: Targeted pain relief, delivered right to the source of the weakness or injury. Joint injections eliminate inflammation, provide lubrication to the joint, and reduce swelling allowing you to return to normal activities sooner.
  • Supplements for Joint Health: Some joint issues are linked directly to your diet or to diet deficiencies. Boost your body’s ability to repair and rebuild soft tissue and structures with nutrient-filled supplements.

When it comes to your knees, you don’t want to ignore pain signals.  Pain is an indicator that something is damaged. Knee damage can lead to permanent scarring and neuropathy. Consult with the experts of Mile High Spine & Pain Center to prevent problems and treat current issues appropriately.  The more informed you are about your current condition, the more likely you are to avoid serious problems. Our Westminster and Broomfield team can help you with your symptoms.

Knee Pain is Not the Only Knee Symptom to Act On

The knee joint can offer you several alerts to help you get ahead of issues. Knee pain is not the only indicator that something is amiss with that all-important joint.  Other signs to watch for include:

Lifestyle Changes to Help Eliminate Knee Issues

When you meet with one of our Mile High Spine & Pain Center providers, we take time to talk with you about your lifestyle and activities that could be contributing to your knee pain and issues. If you are worried that surgery and pharmaceuticals are your only recourse for your knee pain, let us help you identify areas you can change that are increasing your risk factors for knee pain and complications. Some of the lifestyle habits and activities may surprise you!  While some of your activities may not be adaptable, others we can help you address.  Stress, repetitive actions, obesity, diabetes, arthritis, tobacco use and injuries are all contributors to knee issues and pain.
