Chronic Knee Pain Stamford Darien New Canaan

Understanding Chronic Knee Pain What's the most common cause of chronic knee pain?People often ask me, "How do I stop constant knee pain?". My first question back is usually what are you doing to aggravate your knee? Did you have an accident? Is there an old sports injury? Did your parents have arthritis? Do you exercise regularly? Are you overweight? All of these and more are solid reasons to have chronic knee pain There are so many ways that someone can have chronic knee pain. It is nice to know what caused knee pain but if you have chronic knee pain figuring out how to fix it is more important. Let's get into how we do this at Core Health Darien.How to Stop Chronic Knee Pain?It all starts with an examination. Chances are that if you have had knee pain for more than 12 months you will need advanced imaging. X-rays are less expensive and might suffice but MRIs are a better diagnostic tool to see soft tissue injuries. Your doctor along with a radiologist's report will identify the problem. Now a solution for your chronic knee pain can be derived.For my patients, once I determine that I can help their knee issues I begin to order the Knee on Trac. The Knee on Trac is a special therapy that helps your body to produce more synovial fluid. Synovial fluid is a lubricant. Since there is pain there will be inflammation. Synovial fluid acts to quell the swelling associated with pain and inflammation.How to tell if your knee pain is serious?When simple activities of daily living start to become more of a burden you will know that your chronic knee pain is in need of attention. When your knee pain is unbearable you probably are doing more damage. When knee pain is left untreated it will only worsen. Quite often people with knee pain think that since there was no trauma or injury that it should go away on its own. This is not true, it is not normal to have knee pain for months. Pain is your body's way of saying something is wrong. Pain left untreated can last years, consider all that you are missing out on in life.How to Fix Chronic Knee PainAs mentioned earlier the Knee on Trac is a cornerstone of knee pain care at Core Health Darien. We also use shockwave therapy to break up muscle adhesions and enhance blood flow via angiogenesis. A newer method of treating chronic knee pain is to use blood flow, restriction bands. The elastic bands are placed at the hips and limit blood flow and therefore oxygen to the muscles of the leg. This creates a deficit that causes a rush of oxygenated blood into damaged tissue to rejuvenate the muscles and to some extent the ligaments. Core Health Darien also offers Tri-Genics as a way to stimulate nerve fibers from the muscles and tendons to the spinal cord to help inhibit pain. We also use laser therapy to allow the body to ramp up the production of nitric oxide, a powerful vasodilator to drive more healing blood to the muscles causing your chronic knee pain.When Knee Pain Doesn't Go Away?Call us 203-656-3636 and make an appointment! Now if you have been told that you require a knee replacement we may not be a good fit. We have helped some people after knee replacement failed and they still had knee pain.
