Knee Pain

While knee pain is a common concern amongst adults of all ages, chronic knee pain can be a sign of a more serious underlying condition. At Regen Axis Health, our knee pain treatments in NYC help patients find long-lasting relief and take back their lives.

Precision Treatments for Complex Concerns

When knee pain sets in, it can ripple through your entire life. Every day movement can become unstable, and you may experience pain, stiffness, or reduced range of motion over time. At Regen Axis Health, our physicians use advanced regenerative treatments to reduce inflammation and support tissue repair, helping your joint regain function over time.

Understanding Knee Pain

The knee is the largest joint in your body, connecting the thigh bone to the shin bone and absorbing your weight and impact as you move. This joint is surrounded by of a web of ligaments, tendons, and nerves that help support your stability, allowing you to walk, run, bend, and jump comfortably. Because it’s one of the most used joints in the body, the knee is susceptible to both acute injury and chronic pain from overuse, injury, and impact.

Many people experience short-term knee pain that comes and goes with their activity level or time of day. Long-term, chronic knee pain is often the result of an underlying joint condition, such as arthritis, a knee sprain, or an ACL (anterior cruciate ligament) injury.

Targeting the Root Cause

Knee pain can develop for multiple reasons, including the following:

Knee arthritis or osteoarthritis
ACL injuries
Knee bone or kneecap (patella) fractures or dislocations
Meniscus tears
Knee bursitis
Patellar tendinitis
Overuse from exercise, contact sports, or other physical activities

At times, these conditions can overlap, making a detailed evaluation a crucial part of getting treatment.

Treating Knee Arthritis

Knee arthritis is a chronic condition that causes pain, swelling, and stiffness in your knee joints, limiting your movement. Most patients experience arthritis in both of their knees, especially as they get older.

Because the knee is such a complex joint, you may experience one of the following types of arthritis:

Osteoarthritis
Rheumatoid arthritis
Post-traumatic arthritis
Reactive arthritis

At Regen Axi Health, our treatments focus on reducing inflammation to increase your range of motion and support joint health, stabilizing and strengthening your knees. We work to preserve and improve your current knee joint function.

Injuries Around the Knee

The knee relies on the network of ligaments, tendons, and fluid-filled sacs (bursae) that surround your knee joint to ensure smooth movement. When these structures are injured, it can worsen knee pain or cause a chronic pain flare. The most common knee injuries include the following:

Patellar Tendinitis

Tendinitis of the patella, or kneecap, can present as sharp or aching pain around the knee and is often experienced by runners, skiers, cyclists, and others involved in jump-based sports.

Knee Bursitis

Knee bursitis is caused when the bursae, or small sacs of fluid, surrounding your knee become inflamed, often due to injury or overuse. The bursae are crucial to helping your tendons and ligaments glide smoothly over your joint, and bursitis can cause a sharp or burning pain around the knee.

Taking Care of Your Pain

Since knee pain can be caused by such a wide range of conditions, the location and severity of your pain can vary from patient to patient. Most often, knee pain presents with the following symptoms:

Swelling
Stiffness
Redness or warmth to the touch
Weakness or instability
Popping, crunching, or grinding noises
Inability to fully straighten the knee or walk

Break Through Daily Limitations

The knee is one of the most used joints in the human body, and chronic knee pain can impact nearly every aspect of your daily life. Pain can make it difficult to walk short distances and stay standing for prolonged periods, and can limit your ability to participate in recreational activities or sports. As knee pain worsens, you may be unable to bear any weight on your knee without feeling like your knee is about to give out.

With our regenerative treatments, we focus on improving the joint environment to preserve function over time and support smooth joint movement.

Regenerative Care for Tendon and Ligament Injuries
