How is knee pain treated?
Dr. Chekemian develops a treatment strategy for knee pain based on the cause of your symptoms. These pain-relief methods focus on FDA-approved, nonsurgical, and minimally invasive treatments covered by Medicare and most commercial insurance providers.
If you have arthritis in your knee, for example, Dr. Chekemian might recommend a variety of osteoarthritis therapies, such as physical therapy, or braces. This common form of arthritis occurs when cartilage breaks down in your joints, leading to inflammation and pain.
Other treatments for knee pain might include:
- Oral or topical medications, such as anti-inflammatories or pain relievers
- Hot and cold therapy
- Trigger point focused therapy
These types of therapies work by taking healthy cells in your body and injecting them in areas with damage. This approach triggers the natural healing process in your body to reverse the damage and alleviate pain.
Dr. Chekemian may also recommend a physical therapy program focused on strengthening the muscles supporting your affected joints.
No matter what causes your knee pain, Dr. Chekemian’s customized treatment plans can restore your mobility and get you back on your feet. That means you can resume the activities you love, whether it’s playing with your grandkids or hitting the golf course.
