Frequently Asked Questions about Knee Pain Treatment in Calgary
How Can I Alleviate Knee Pain at Home?
Engaging in low-impact exercises like swimming or cycling can help maintain joint mobility and reduce knee pain. Applying ice to the knee for short periods multiple times a day can also help reduce swelling and pain. Elevating your knee above heart level when resting can further reduce swelling. It’s essential to avoid activities that worsen your knee pain and focus on gentle movements that promote flexibility and strength without causing additional strain.
What Is the Typical Recovery Time for Knee Pain?
The recovery time for knee pain varies depending on the cause and severity of the condition. Minor injuries may improve within a few weeks with rest and home care, while more serious conditions like meniscus tears or osteoarthritis may require several months of physiotherapy. A personalized treatment plan developed with your physiotherapist at Country Hills Physiotherapy can provide a clearer timeline based on your specific circumstances.
Can Knee Pain Be Prevented?
While not all knee pain can be prevented, maintaining a healthy weight, engaging in regular balanced exercise, wearing proper footwear, and avoiding sudden increases in physical activity can help reduce the risk of knee injuries. For those participating in activities that stress the knees, using knee supports or braces recommended by healthcare professionals can provide added protection.
Can Knee Pain Indicate a More Serious Issue?
In some cases, knee pain can be a sign of more severe conditions like osteoarthritis, meniscus tears, or ligament injuries. Acute knee pain following an injury may indicate a fracture or significant ligament damage. Chronic knee pain that worsens over time could be a sign of progressive conditions such as osteoarthritis. If knee pain is accompanied by swelling, difficulty extending the knee, fever, or signs of infection, it’s crucial to seek medical evaluation promptly.
