Can Physical Therapy Help my Knee Pain?
Osteoarthritis occurs when joints begin to break down. Over time, injury or overuse can cause the smooth lining of the inner knee to be replaced with coarse bony bumps (like sandpaper). The knee is a very common place for this to occur.
Although osteoarthritis in the knee cannot be reversed, the pain you feel and the effects of the arthritis can be reduced and controlled. Depending on the severity of the osteoarthritis, a MOMENTUM physical therapist can help reduce the discomfort you feel, help build leg strength, and help you return to the activities you love.
In some cases, a special knee brace is recommended to help offload the arthritis in the knee and reduce the pain you feel. To learn more about our custom knee bracing , click here.
