What symptoms are linked to knee pain?

Knee pain can make it difficult to stand, walk, or move your leg. You might have trouble putting weight on the affected leg, and you may notice a popping or cracking noise. Severe knee pain can limit your mobility and interfere with your job.

At Spine Joint & Brain Center, Dr. Grossinger and Dr. Bresnahan get to the root of the problem. He performs in-depth tests to identify the source of your pain. Next, Dr. Grossinger and Dr. Bresnahan help you explore your options for nonsurgical relief.

What causes knee pain?

Knee pain often results from a traumatic injury, such as:

  • Falls
  • Sports injuries
  • Workplace injuries
  • Car accidents

During an injury, ligaments and cartilage in your knee can tear. These torn tissues can cause knee pain and swelling. Without treatment, these injuries can worsen.

Some cases of knee pain might be linked to chronic conditions. Arthritis and gout sometimes trigger severe knee pain. These can also cause swelling or redness around your knee.

How is knee pain treated?

Dr. Grossinger and Dr. Bresnahan specialize in nonsurgical treatments for knee pain. During your consultation, they identify the cause of your symptoms. Dr. Grossinger and Dr. Bresnahan use state-of-the-art imaging tests to assess your knee function.

Once a diagnosis is made, Dr. Grossinger and Dr. Bresnahan create a customized treatment plan. Your plan may include lifestyle changes, braces, or physical therapy. Dr. Grossinger and Dr. Bresnahan can prescribe treatments that avoid the use of opioid pain medication to reduce knee pain and swelling.

If your pain doesn’t respond to other treatments, Dr. Grossinger and Dr. Bresnahan may suggest Regenerative Medicine. These therapies are an ideal option for patients who want to avoid surgery.

Spine Joint & Brain Center offers Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) injections and Stem-Cell treatment. These work with your body’s natural processes to stimulate healing. Additionally, two other treatment options that may be recommended are percutaneous tenotomy (TENEX) and peripheral nerve stimulation. Percutaneous tenotomy (TENEX) is a minimally invasive procedure that uses ultrasonic energy to break down damaged tissue, promoting healing. Peripheral nerve stimulation involves a small device that delivers electrical impulses to the nerves, helping to reduce pain and improve knee function.

These procedures are minimally invasive and performed at Spine Joint & Brain Center, so no hospital stay is required. Best of all, Regenerative therapy is a safe alternative to surgery.
