The key to successful treatment of the knee pain is to uncover the bio mechanical cause of the knee pain and correct it.

Knee pain can be a frustrating condition to properly diagnose. Bio mechanics play a large role in the development of knee pain. Patients that have flat feet or over pronation often experience pain on the inside of their knees due to the abnormal stress placed on the knee. Patients that have poor mobility and or weakness in the hips tend to suffer similar problems with pain in the medial aspect of the knees. The key to successful treatment of the knee pain is to uncover the bio mechanical cause of the knee pain and correct it through proper strengthening and flexibility exercises. In some cases, patients actually have organic problems within the knee like meniscus teats or ACL tears. These are best seen on an MRI scan which we use extensively here at South West Health.
