Knee Pain Treatments in Penang, Malaysia
Knee Pain Treatments
Knee pain can significantly disrupt your life, hindering movement and limiting your activities. At A Klinik, we understand the frustration and limitations knee pain can cause. That’s why we offer a comprehensive range of effective knee pain treatments, designed to address various conditions and help you regain mobility and enjoy an active life again.
Our Knee Pain Treatments
Knee Gel Injections
As we age, the natural lubricant in our joints diminishes which can lead to increased pain, especially in the knees. Hyaluronic acid injections replenish this vital substance, improving lubrication and cushioning between the bones. This can significantly enhance joint mobility and reduce pain.
Knee PRP Therapy
PRP therapy harnesses the body’s own healing potential to address knee pain. A small amount of your blood is drawn and processed to concentrate the platelets, which are rich in growth factors and healing properties. These platelets are then injected back into the injured area in your knee to repair damage and reduce pain.
What Causes Knee Pain?
Injuries
Acute injuries like ligament tears, meniscus tears, or fractures can cause sudden and severe knee pain.
Overuse
Repetitive movements, especially in sports or physically demanding jobs, can strain the knee joint and lead to pain.
Alignment Issues
Improper leg alignment, such as flat feet or knock knees, can put extra stress on the knee joint and lead to pain.
Arthritis
Osteoarthritis, the breakdown of cartilage in the joint, is a common in older adults. Other forms of arthritis, like rheumatoid arthritis, can also affect the knees.
Bursitis
Inflammation of the fluid-filled sacs ( bursae) around the knee joint can cause pain and tenderness.
Tendonitis
Inflammation of the tendons that connect muscles to bones around the knee can cause pain and difficulty with movement.
Managing Knee Pain and Preventions
Living with knee pain can be frustrating, but there are steps you can take to manage it alongside a doctor-recommended treatment plan. When your knee feels sore, take a break from activities that aggravate the pain. However, complete inactivity can be counterproductive. Aim for gentle, low-impact exercises like walking or swimming to maintain joint mobility and muscle strength.
Weight Management
Maintaining a healthy weight reduces stress on the knee joint.
Supportive Footwear
Choose shoes with good arch support and cushioning to absorb impact and improve stability.
Knee Bracing
Wearing a knee brace can provide support and stability, particularly during focused activities.
When To See a Doctor for My Knee Pain
While some knee pain can be managed with home remedies and lifestyle changes, there are situations where seeking professional medical attention is crucial. Here are some signs that indicate it’s time to see a doctor for your knee pain:
- The pain is severe and interferes with daily activities: If the pain is so intense that it makes it difficult to walk, climb stairs, or perform everyday tasks.
- The pain is persistent and lasts for more than a few days: Acute pain that arises after a specific injury may subside within a few days. However, if the pain persists for more than a week or two, especially with no clear cause, it’s important to see a doctor for diagnosis and treatment.
- Swelling or redness around the knee: Significant swelling or redness around the knee joint can indicate inflammation or injury, and requires medical evaluation.
- Instability or buckling of the knee: Feeling like your knee might buckle or give way when walking or putting weight on it is a red flag and requires a doctor’s assessment.
- Loss of range of motion: If you experience a significant decrease in your knee’s ability to bend or straighten, seeking medical advice is essential.
- Fever: If you experience knee pain along with a fever, it could be a sign of an infection, requiring immediate medical attention.
Early diagnosis and treatment are crucial for managing knee pain and preventing further complications. If you experience any of the above signs, don’t hesitate to schedule an appointment with your doctor.
