Knee Pain Treatment
Walk, kneel and climb stairs without bracing for pain
Overview
What is joint pain?
Knee pain rarely comes from one single structure. Cartilage wear, an irritated joint lining, a meniscal tear or the tendons around the kneecap can each produce very similar pain.
We identify the exact pain generator with a loading exam and, where needed, ultrasound guidance, then treat it with the least invasive option that gives lasting relief.
Common symptoms
- Deep ache after walking, standing or stairs
- Swelling or warmth around the joint
- Grinding, clicking or catching on bending
- Pain at night that disturbs sleep
- A knee that feels unstable or gives way
What causes it
- Osteoarthritis and cartilage thinning
- Meniscal tears and ligament injury
- Patellar and quadriceps tendinopathy
- Bursitis around the kneecap
- Weak hip and thigh muscles overloading the joint
Our approach
How we treat knee pain treatment
1
Loading exam
We test the knee under real load to reproduce and localise your pain.
2
Targeted imaging
X-ray or ultrasound only when it will change the treatment plan.
3
Pain relief phase
Injection or medication to quiet an inflamed joint quickly.
4
Protect the joint
Strength and offloading strategy so the relief holds for years.
Treatment options
What your plan might include
Ultrasound-guided injection
Steroid or hyaluronic acid placed precisely inside the joint.
Genicular nerve block
Interrupts the knee's pain nerves for longer-lasting relief.
Radiofrequency ablation
For arthritic knee pain that keeps returning after injections.
Bracing & offloading
Supports that reduce load through the painful compartment.
