Knee Pain Treatment

Pain affecting the knee joint from injury, overuse, or degeneration.

What is Knee Pain? (घुटने का दर्द)

Knee pain can stem from ligament injury, cartilage wear, tendon overuse, or joint degeneration (osteoarthritis), and affects people of all ages.

Common Causes

  • Ligament sprain (e.g. ACL, MCL)
  • Meniscus (cartilage) injury
  • Osteoarthritis / joint wear
  • Overuse from running or sports
  • Muscle imbalance around the hip and knee

Symptoms to Watch For

  • Pain with walking, climbing stairs or squatting
  • Swelling around the knee
  • A feeling of instability or "giving way"
  • Clicking or grinding sensation

How We Diagnose It

We assess knee alignment, ligament stability, muscle strength and movement patterns to identify the true source of pain — often involving the hip and ankle as well.

Our Treatment Approach

Depending on severity, treatment for knee pain typically draws on:

Expected Recovery Timeline

Mild strain-related knee pain often improves in 2–4 weeks; ligament or cartilage-related pain typically needs a longer, staged 6–12 week programme.

Self-Care Tips

  • Avoid deep squatting or high-impact activity during flare-ups
  • Strengthen the quadriceps and hip muscles as guided
  • Use ice for acute swelling
  • Maintain a healthy body weight to reduce joint load

These are general self-care suggestions and are not a substitute for a personalised assessment. Please consult us before starting any new exercise if your symptoms are severe.

FAQs

Gentle, appropriate movement is usually encouraged, but high-impact activity should be reduced until you've been assessed and given a suitable plan.
