Knee Pain Specialists 

It’s impossible to know the exact cause of knee pain without having a trained knee pain specialist look at it. However, the most common causes of knee pain are accidental injuries and normal wear accelerated by aging. Arthritis is also a common cause of knee pain. Some runners develop a condition known as runner’s knee, which is caused by wear on the back of the kneecap.

If you want to truly know what’s causing your knee pain, you will need to see a doctor. NexGen’s doctors have extensive experience in diagnosing and treating knee pain and can help you get your life back.

OTHER THAN PAIN, WHAT ARE THE SYMPTOMS OF KNEE INJURIES?

Pain, of course, is the most common and obvious symptom of knee injuries. However, not all injuries are immediately painful and their ramifications may not be felt until later. Common symptoms of knee injuries include swelling, stiffness in the joints, a loss of balance, reduced mobility, popping sounds or feeling coming from the knee, redness, and inflammation.

If you experience any of these symptoms, we recommend seeing a doctor who specializes in interventional pain management.xf

WHEN SHOULD I SEEK TREATMENT FOR KNEE PAIN?

Knee pain is one of the most common types of chronic pain that people experience, particularly as they age. Most people do not seek treatment until the pain is impacting their life or their work. NexGen’s knee pain specialists recommend that you at least look for a diagnosis when knee pain starts to become consistent.

If you believe that your knee might be injured due to an car accident, a fall, an incident that occurs during sports or exercise, or some other seemingly minor injury, you should seek treatment as knee problems only get worse the longer you go without treatment.

Some knee pain is caused by an injury to the soft tissue, which is a tissue structure that helps provide a cushion for the knee joints during normal use. Knees are almost always under constant stress, and the soft tissue helps keep the joint stable. The soft tissue in your knee could become damaged as a result of infection, trauma as a result of injury, or degenerative disease. Soft tissue injuries should be treated by a specialist. NexGen’s doctors have experience in treating knee pain that happens as a result of all of these issues.
