Knee Pain Treatment
Knee pain treatment starts with understanding where the pain is felt, how your knee moves, and whether symptoms follow injury or overuse.
About this condition
The knee is the largest and one of the most complex joints in the body. Knee pain can originate from the joint itself, the surrounding tendons and ligaments, the kneecap (patella), or referred from the hip or lower back. Identifying the cause is essential for effective treatment.
Depending on your symptoms and assessment, suitable care may include Sports Therapy or Osteopathy. Your practitioner will explain which option is appropriate and when another healthcare professional or further assessment may be needed.
Common symptoms
- Pain in the front, back, inner, or outer knee
- Swelling or warmth
- Stiffness, especially after rest
- A clicking, popping, or locking sensation
- Difficulty bending or straightening fully
