What Causes Chronic Knee Pain?

Chronic knee pain can be the result of normal wear and tear that comes with aging, but it can also be the consequence of an injury. Knee pain specialists often see patients with tendon, meniscus, or ligament injuries that can cause swelling and knee mobility issues. However, any of the areas of your knees can cause pain, including:
  • Tibiofemoral joint
  • Bursa
  • Menisci
  • Patella
  • Ligaments surrounding the knee
  • Muscles surrounding the knee
  • Patellar and iliotibial band tendons
Trauma to the knee is one of the most common causes of chronic knee pain. Trauma can speed up joint deterioration, with the cartilage that cushions your bones breaking down. Without this protective cushion, your bones can begin to rub together, causing bone spurs and leading to significant swelling and pain.
There are many symptoms that can warn of a knee injury. Some of the most common ones we see at our knee pain therapy clinic, are:
  • Difficulty walking 
  • Locking, clicking, or popping of the knee joint
  • Joint stiffness
  • Knee weakness
  • Swelling 
  • Bruising
  • Mobility issues in the joint
  • Knee tenderness
  • Limping
You should never ignore these symptoms. Unfortunately, knee pain can get worse over time or lead to chronic knee problems or reliance on pain medication if you don’t treat the root cause quickly.
If you are experiencing any of these issues for more than a few days, reach out to our knee pain center by calling us today at 770.416.9995.

Treatments For Chronic Knee Pain

Our knee pain clinic offers non-surgical treatment options to help you regain mobility while reducing your pain. Our specialists often see negative long-term outcomes for people who have gone through surgical procedures to resolve chronic knee pain, as well as for patients who rely on cortisone, which can cause tissue damage and lead to further pain.

Active And Passive Physical Therapy

Physical therapy is an important part of treating chronic knee pain and allows patients to find relief without relying on medications and surgery.
The goal of passive physical therapy is to reduce your pain levels. We perform exercises on you to help you manage any pain levels you are experiencing. Passive physical therapy can include massages, heat and ice packs, and manual therapies.
Our knee pain center in ATL also focuses on active physical therapy. Active physical therapy requires your participation since it involves exercises you must perform. There are many different types of exercises we can assign, depending on the severity of the knee injury and your pain levels.
We will work closely with you to understand the pain you feel, carefully guiding you throughout the physical therapy sessions to ensure that you are not overwhelmed by pain.
As with all of our treatments, we will personalize the physical therapy to meet your individual needs.

Prolotherapy For Knee Pain

Prolotherapy is an alternative treatment option for joint and muscle pain. It focuses on stimulating your body’s natural healing processes. At our chronic knee pain clinic, we inject a natural solution into the problematic tissue, causing inflammation. This mild swelling triggers the body’s healing response.
Prolotherapy can help with many conditions, including:
  • Back pain
  • Whiplash
  • Tendonitis
  • Knee and hip arthritis
  • Sprained tendons and ligaments
Cartilage, tendons, and ligaments are much denser and have fewer blood vessels than other types of tissue, slowing the healing process. By using prolotherapy, we aim to speed up the recovery.
This chronic knee pain therapy option uses fibroblast (specialized cells) to stabilize weakened or injured knee joints. They cushion the joint with collagen, reducing pain and preventing bone spurs from forming.

Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy For Knee Pain

PRP is a reliable treatment option that can stimulate the healing process, allowing soft-tissue injuries to improve without relying on medication or surgery. Sports professionals and top athletes turn to this treatment because of its effectiveness.
Your blood contains platelets which, in turn, contain large concentrations of growth factors. When we use PRP to treat pain, we take a small sample of your blood, run it through a centrifuge to extract the platelets, and then inject those platelets into the damaged tissue.
Our knee pain doctors recommend PRP therapy because it can help treat the cause of the pain, not just mask the symptoms. By using your own body’s healing process, you don’t have to turn to surgery or medications.

Prolozone Therapy Applied By Our Knee Pain Specialists

To offer knee pain relief, we also provide Prolozone therapy. This non-surgical joint treatment uses an oxygen and ozone injection technique that can stimulate fibroblastic joint repair.
Prolozone therapy includes injections that contain substances that can boost collagen production, as well as ozone gas. Ozone gas is particularly effective at reconstructing weakened or damaged tissues around or inside joints.
Prolozone therapy can also tighten and repair weakened ligaments and connective tissue by reducing inflammation. Reduced inflammation allows for better circulation, letting nutrient-rich blood flow unimpeded to the damaged tissues.
This knee pain treatment applied at our clinic can help decrease pain in your knee while increasing your range of motion. It can also stabilize the affected area by repairing connective tissues, helping to relieve chronic pain.

Stem Cell Therapy For Knee Pain

We also offer adipose stem cell therapy for chronic knee pain relief. We extract a small amount of fat from your abdomen or buttocks for this therapy.
Adipose tissue has a large concentration of stem cells as well as other regenerative elements. These include exosomes, which are important for communication between cells, making it easier to achieve cellular reprogramming.
Adipose also contains cytokines, which are proteins that attach to cells and signal them to undertake repair processes, as well as over 50 types of growth factors.
We concentrate these growth factors, cytokines, exosomes, and stem cells and inject the solution into the treatment area.
You can learn more about our stem cell therapy or call us now to schedule a free consultation at 770.416.9995770.416.9995
