Knee Pain

There are many factors that can lead to pain in the knee and surrounding tissues and if you have been struggling with knee pain for more than a week or so you should seek some professional help. If your knee is giving way or locking you should seek help immediately.

It is normal following a trauma such as a fall for the knee to swell. You should try to manage this with some ice and if indicated some painkillers/anti-inflammatories. It is very important to keep the knee moving as best you can but if swelling is evident remember to sit with the leg elevated above the height of the hip. 

As with shoulders, knees very rarely require an xray or an MRI but this is something that can be explored should the knee fail to respond to conservative treatment. Contact MT Physio Clinic today and see how we can help.
