Knee Pain Treatment in Mount Pleasant, SC
Our knees are remarkable structures that help us move every day. However, they can suffer from inflammation and injury, leading to osteoarthritis and knee pain. At Elite Healthcare Physical Medicine, we offer non-invasive solutions to address the root causes of knee pain for long-lasting relief.
Common Symptoms for People with Knee Problems
Knee pain symptoms can manifest in different ways. In some cases, the pain may diminish on its own within a few days or weeks. However, in other instances, the pain may become persistent or spread to other areas of the body. Some of the most common symptoms of knee pain include the following:
- Knee Stiffness
- Knee Swelling
- Instability or Weakness in Your Knee
- Crunching or Popping Noises in Your Knee
- Knee Pain When Walking, Running, or Standing
- Limited Range of Motion
Injuries, arthritis, and issues with ligaments, tendons, or fluid-filled sacs surrounding the knee joint can lead to knee pain. Excessive weight, inadequate muscle flexibility or strength, and previous injuries can also aggravate this condition. If rest and self-care don't help, it's time to see a specialist.
A Multidisciplinary Solution to Knee Pain
Patients recommend Elite Healthcare to their friends and family because our medical providers offer personalized, holistic knee pain treatments using a combination of modalities such as regenerative medicine. physical therapy, and chiropractic care.
Regenerative Medicine
Our state-of-the-art clinic takes a non-conventional approach to knee pain by using the latest in regenerative therapies to repair and strengthen your knees. From Prolotherapy and platelet-rich plasma therapy to softwave therapy and more, these non-invasive treatments use your body’s natural healing mechanisms to reverse the damage causing your knee pain.
Physical Therapy
Knee pain is typically caused by movement dysfunction and strength imbalances. Our approach to treating knee pain involves traditional physical therapy methods along with hands-on manual techniques like joint mobilization and soft tissue massage to address movement issues and muscle strength imbalances.
Chiropractic Care
Our experienced doctors of chiropractic will first need to figure out if a primary cause or a compensatory cause is the source of your knee pain. A compensatory cause is when your knee’s alignment suffers to compensate for another issue, such as pain or stiffness in another area of your body. From there, we’ll examine your knees and other areas of your body like your neck, spine, and hips, to identify the root cause of your knee pain.
Massage Therapy
Research shows that therapeutic massages for sore or arthritic knees provides several benefits, such as increasing blood flow to your knees, replenishing joint fluid, reducing inflammation, enhancing circulation, and alleviating overall pain and stiffness. When coupled with chiropractic care and physical therapy, massage therapy may also help improve your knee’s flexibility and range of motion.
Medical Weight Loss
Research from the NIH suggests that losing 20% of your body weight through a combination of exercise and diet can alleviate knee arthritis symptoms in overweight or obese older adults. Our clinicians will craft a custom weight loss plan tailored to your body that can help slow cartilage damage, reduce pressure on your knees, and reduce inflammation.
