Knee Pain Treatment in Wellington
Effective Relief for Knee Pain
Knee pain can affect your ability to move comfortably, impacting activities like walking, bending, and climbing stairs. At City Osteopaths in Wellington, we specialise in providing non-invasive treatments for knee pain, helping to relieve discomfort and improve mobility. Our osteopathic approach is designed to address both the symptoms and causes of knee pain.
Common Types of Knee Pain
Knee pain can vary depending on the underlying cause and can occur in specific areas of the knee. Common types include:
Pain When Bending the Knee
Often due to joint or cartilage issues, this type of pain can limit activities that involve bending, such as climbing stairs or squatting.
Pain Behind the Knee
This discomfort is often linked to ligament or tendon issues and may worsen with certain movements.
Inner Knee Pain
Frequently associated with strain or inflammation, pain on the inner side of the knee can impact stability and comfort.
Our team at City Osteopaths assesses each individual case to provide effective, targeted treatment.
Causes of Knee Pain
Knee pain can arise from various factors, including:
Injury or Trauma: Accidents, sports injuries, or falls can cause damage to the knee, leading to pain and limited mobility.
Arthritis: Osteoarthritis is a common cause of knee pain, particularly in older adults.
Overuse and Strain: Repetitive activities or excessive pressure on the knee joint can cause pain, particularly after activities like running.
Understanding the cause of your knee pain allows our osteopaths to create a treatment plan tailored to your specific needs.
