Knee Pain
Knee Pain
Knee pain is a common condition that affects people of all ages and can significantly impact mobility and quality of life. Whether caused by an injury, overuse, or an underlying medical condition, knee pain requires prompt diagnosis and treatment to prevent further complications. At ReGenSport Ortho Clinic, Dr. Sanjay Kapoor, a leading orthopedic surgeon with 24+ years of experience, specializes in advanced orthopedic and regenerative treatments to help patients regain knee function and live pain-free.
Common Causes of Knee Pain & Their Treatments
1. Osteoarthritis in Knee (Alternative to Total Knee Replacement)
What is it? Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common form of arthritis in the knee. It results from cartilage degeneration, causing pain, stiffness, and reduced movement. While total knee replacement (TKR) is an option for severe cases, non-surgical alternatives are available.
Treatment Options:
- Regenerative Therapy (Stem Cell & PRP Therapy): Stimulates cartilage repair and reduces inflammation.
- Hyaluronic Acid Injections: Provides lubrication and reduces joint friction.
- Physical Therapy: Strengthens muscles supporting the knee.
- Bracing & Orthotics: Helps stabilize the knee and improve mobility.
- Medications: NSAIDs (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs) for pain relief.
2. Meniscus Tear in Knee
What is it? The meniscus is a C-shaped cartilage in the knee that acts as a shock absorber. A meniscus tear commonly occurs due to sudden twisting movements during activities like sports or accidents.
Treatment Options:
- Regenerative Therapy (PRP & Stem Cell Therapy): Helps in tissue repair and regeneration.
- Rest & Ice Therapy: Reduces swelling and promotes healing.
- Physical Therapy: Strengthens knee muscles for better support.
- Arthroscopic Meniscus Repair: Minimally invasive surgery for severe tears.
3. Sports Injury in Knee
What is it? Sports-related knee injuries are common among athletes and active individuals. These injuries result from overuse, direct impact, or excessive twisting motions.
Treatment Options:
- R.I.C.E. Therapy (Rest, Ice, Compression, Elevation): Reduces swelling and supports recovery.
- Regenerative Therapy (PRP & Stem Cells): Encourages faster healing of damaged tissues.
- Physical Therapy: Strengthens muscles and restores knee function.
- Bracing: Provides support and prevents further injury.
Surgical Repair (For Severe Cases): Addresses major ligament or cartilage damage.
4. Ligament or Tendon Injury
What is it? Ligaments connect bones, while tendons connect muscles to bones. A ligament injury (such as ACL or MCL tear) can cause instability and pain, while a tendon injury (such as patellar tendinitis) leads to swelling and limited movement.
Treatment Options:
- PRP Therapy: Accelerates ligament and tendon healing.
- Physical Therapy: Restores knee strength and stability.
- Bracing & Immobilization: Helps stabilize the injured knee.
- Minimally Invasive Surgery: Needed for complete ligament or tendon ruptures.
5. Partial ACL Tears in Knee
What is it? A partial ACL tear happens due to a sudden twisting or pivoting motion with the foot planted. It may cause pain, swelling, and knee instability.
Treatment Options:
- Regenerative Therapy (Stem Cell & PRP Therapy): Encourages tissue regeneration.
- Rehabilitation Exercises: Improves knee function and strength.
- Bracing: Helps stabilize the knee during movement.
Arthroscopic Surgery: Required if conservative treatments do not provide relief.
AVN in Knee Pain Management with Hydrogen Therapy
Avascular Necrosis (AVN) of the knee, though less common than in the hip, can severely impact mobility and joint function due to restricted blood supply leading to bone tissue death. At ReGenSports Ortho Clinic, Dr. Sanjay Kapoor incorporates Molecular Hydrogen Therapy as a non-invasive, regenerative solution to manage AVN-related knee pain. This therapy works by reducing oxidative stress and inflammation, improving microcirculation in the affected area, and promoting natural bone healing. When combined with other orthobiologic treatments, hydrogen therapy can help slow disease progression, alleviate pain, and potentially delay or prevent the need for surgical intervention.
