THE TRUTH ABOUT KNEE PAIN
KNEE PAIN IS ALMOST ALWAYS A VICTIM OF THESE TWO BODY PARTS!
Knee pain doesn’t develop on its own. As a simple hinge joint, the knee is almost always a victim of the hip or the ankle.
Concerning your options to get out of knee pain, think about it:
- Physical therapists use electronic stimulation and ultrasound and strengthen weakness.
- Chiropractors adjust joints.
- Orthopedic doctors inject cortisone or perform surgery.
- Medical doctors prescribe medicine.
- Massage therapists work on muscles.
All of the different types of therapists and doctors who help a percentage of the population points to the fact that there are a wide variety of causes to back pain and a wide variety of potential solutions.
What does this mean for you, as someone with knee pain, to get better?
No matter how long you’ve experienced your pain and how intense the knee pain is?
It means that you need to take all of the puzzle pieces that make your body and your health … and put them together to zoom out from a reductionist point of view … and provide sweet-spot solutions for all of the individual problems in your body. Don’t be overwhelmed. This fact points to why you’re reading this right now.
When you do so, and you have the trusted observation of a doctor who respects all pieces of your back pain, you have the greatest potential for fixing any back pain condition.
Common conditions we treat and fix at Barefoot Rehab are:
- Meniscus tears – Pain Behind the Knee
- MCL and LCL sprains
- Patellar tendonosis
- Quadricep strains
- Sciatic nerve, tibial nerve, common peroneal nerve, or sural nerve entrapments
- Patello-femoral syndrome
- Knee Osteoarthritis – Pain On the Inside of the Knee
- IT Band Syndrome
As always, the key starts with a proper diagnosis. That includes testing the integrity of the ankles, knees, hips, and low back. Without all pieces, any interventions are shots in the dark.
If you are experiencing knee pain and have a trusted therapist or doctor who is taking care of you, I’m so happy for you. You’re lucky to have found someone who you respect and speaks the truth.
