Knee Pain

Knee Pain Treatment

Knee pain is a common condition that can affect people of all ages and activity levels. Whether it’s due to sports injuries, arthritis, overuse, or underlying biomechanical issues, knee pain can make everyday movements challenging. Knee pain can get worse over time and can lead to mobility restrictions and decreased quality of life.

At Dynamic Physiotherapy & Chiropractic, our team of experienced physiotherapists and chiropractors in Kanata and Stittsville are well-versed in treating knee pain effectively to help you regain strength and mobility.

Types of Knee Pain We Treat

Sports-Related Knee Injuries:

  • ACL, MCL, PCL and LCL injuries: Ligament sprains and tears caused by high-impact sports or sudden movements.
  • Meniscus tears: Damage to the cartilage that cushions the knee, often occurring from twisting motions.
  • Patellar tendonitis (“Jumper’s Knee”): Inflammation in the tendon connecting the kneecap to the shinbone, common in athletes.

Chronic Knee Pain Conditions: 

  • Osteoarthritis: Normal, age-related wear and tear of the knee joint, leading to pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility.
  • Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome: Pain around the kneecap due to weakness, misalignment, overuse, or muscle imbalances.
  • Bursitis: Inflammation of fluid-filled sacs around the knee, causing swelling and discomfort.

Post-Surgical Rehabilitation:

If you’ve undergone any type of knee surgery, including a knee replacement, ACL reconstruction, or arthroscopic procedures, physiotherapy is essential for restoring movement and improving long-term function.

Knee Pain Treatment Options

Physiotherapy

Physiotherapy plays a key role in knee pain recovery. We focus on exercises that strengthen and stabilize the knee joint, helping to improve function and reduce strain. Restoring flexibility through range of motion therapy ensures smoother, more natural movement, while neuromuscular training works on balance and coordination to prevent future injuries.

Chiropractic Care

If misalignment or muscle tension is contributing to your knee pain, chiropractic care can make a big difference. Gentle hands-on techniques improve joint function, while soft tissue therapy helps relieve tightness and improve flexibility. These treatments are especially helpful for people with chronic knee pain, stiffness, or movement restrictions.

Shockwave Therapy

For lingering knee pain that isn’t improving with exercise alone, shockwave therapy can help. this non-invasive treatment improves blood flow and accelerates the healing of tendons, ligaments, and soft tissues, making it especially effective for issues like patellar tendonitis and ligament injuries.
