Knee Pain Treatment Vancouver FAQs
What Can I Do at Home to Alleviate Knee Pain ?
Engaging in low-impact exercise such as swimming or cycling can help maintain joint mobility and reduce knee pain. Applying ice to the knee for 15-20 minutes a few times a day can also reduce swelling and pain. Elevating the knee above heart level when resting can further decrease swelling. It’s crucial to listen to your body and avoid activities that exacerbate your knee pain, focusing instead on gentle movements that promote flexibility and strength without overburdening the knee.
How Long Does It Typically Take to Recover from Knee Pain?
Recovery time from knee pain varies significantly depending on the underlying cause and the severity of the condition. Minor injuries might improve within a few weeks with proper rest and home care, while more severe conditions such as meniscus tears or osteoarthritis may require several months of physiotherapy. A personalized treatment plan developed in consultation with your physiotherapist at Treloar Physiotherapy Clinic will give you a clearer estimate based on your specific situation.
Can Knee Pain Be Prevented?
While not all knee pain can be prevented, certain measures can reduce the risk. Maintaining a healthy weight puts less strain on your knees. Regular, balanced exercise strengthens the muscles around the knee, stabilizing the joint and preventing injuries. Proper footwear and avoiding sudden increases in physical activity can also protect your knees. If you’re engaging in sports or activities that put extra stress on your knees, consider using knee supports or braces as recommended by a healthcare professional.
Can Knee Pain Indicate a More Serious Condition?
Yes, in some cases, knee pain can be a symptom of more serious conditions such as osteoarthritis, meniscus tears, or ligament injuries. Severe knee pain following an injury could indicate a fracture or severe ligament damage. Chronic knee pain that worsens over time could suggest progressive conditions like osteoarthritis. If knee pain is accompanied by other symptoms like significant swelling, inability to extend the knee, fever, or signs of infection, it’s important to seek professional medical evaluation.
