Knee pain can arise from various sources, including injuries, degenerative conditions, and underlying medical issues. Common causes of knee pain include:

• Osteoarthritis: The wear and tear of cartilage over time, leading to pain, swelling, and stiffness.
• Rheumatoid Arthritis: An autoimmune condition that causes inflammation in the joints, including the knees.
• Meniscus Tears: Injuries to the cartilage that cushions the knee joint, often caused by twisting motions.
• Ligament Injuries: Sprains or tears in the ligaments (such as the ACL or MCL) can cause significant pain and instability.
• Patellar Tendonitis: Inflammation of the tendon connecting the kneecap to the shinbone, commonly seen in athletes.

Common symptoms associated with knee pain may include:

• Weakness: A feeling of instability or weakness in the knee.
• Localized Pain: Pain in or around the knee joint, which may worsen with activity.
• Swelling: Inflammation around the knee, which can make it difficult to move.
• Stiffness: Reduced range of motion, especially after sitting for long periods.
• Popping or Clicking Sounds: Noises during movement may indicate structural issues.

At NovaSpine, we take a comprehensive approach to managing knee pain. Our treatment options may include:

2. Pain Management Techniques: Our goal is to provide effective relief using various modalities:

• Medications: We may prescribe non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), pain relievers, or corticosteroids to manage discomfort and inflammation.
