Knee pain can appear at the very front, back or sides and often feels like a dull ache during walking, walking up the stairs, running or climbing. You may notice locking, clicking or your knee just giving way on you, swelling , stiffness or difficulty bending . OUR SPECIALIST team can provide a personalized treatment plan going forward.
Where does knee pain come from?
The pain may originate from the knee structures (bone / cartilage), the ligaments, muscles or tendons around the knee (like the quadriceps muscles). Often pain may be referred from the joints or muscles of the back or hip
Our physiotherapists will perform a thorough examination of the area to get to the root cause of the problem, rather than treating symptoms.
Knee pain may follow a traumatic onset (eg. sports injury) or be related to age-related degenerative change. Commonly it is due to postural changes often stemming from ankle dysfunction, therefore co-management with a podiatrist is used to correct any biomechanical and postural dysfunction.
We have X-Ray facilities on site to aid our practitioners in providing an accurate diagnosis of your pain.
At The Lawrence clinic, our Podiatrists and physiotherapists work together to identify the root cause of your pain – not just your symptoms.
