Knee Specialists

It is not uncommon to experience knee pain at some time during your life. Pain can be the result of severe conditions like strains and fractures, or it could be due to less critical injuries. While some conditions or injuries will merit a visit to a knee doctor, others may not be as apparent. It's important to schedule an appointment with a Resurgens physician if you experience any of the following:

• Hear a popping noise and feel your knee give out at the time of injury
• Have severe pain
• Cannot move the knee
• If you begin limping
• Have swelling at the site of and injury

Because the knee is such a complex joint, pain can appear in different places on your knee. Being able to locate the source of your pain accurately will help your doctor diagnose your condition.

Knee pain may occur in the front of the knee (anterior), in the area closest to your hand (lateral), on the inside of the joint (medial), or behind the kneecap (posterior). Conditions causing knee pain affect one knee or both (bilateral or unilateral). The location of your knee pain provides clues about what may be wrong. If you want more information, check out our knee anatomy page before booking an appointment.

Knee pain is common because the knee is an integral part of everyday movement. Knee pain can be a symptom of a variety of conditions including genetics, arthritis, torn ligaments, and disease. Being able to help your doctor narrow down the cause of your knee pain will help them provide the appropriate treatment.

Becauseyour knee is such an elaborate and crucial mechanism, you will need an accurate diagnosis to receive proper treatment. Our doctors use cutting-edge radiography equipment to help diagnose your knee condition. These include EMG, MRI scans, CT scans, and nerve conduction studies. Using these devices help your doctor narrow down and assess the cause of your pain. Your doctor may also require electrodiagnostic screening to help determine where injuries happened.

Our technology is operated by certified technologists who receive regular training in the latest imaging techniques and diagnostic imaging procedures. Our team may also conduct electrodiagnostic screening to help determine where injuries happened.

After evaluating your knee condition, your physician will be able to determine your best treatment option. Resurgens treatment options include a full range of surgical and non-surgical options. Non-surgical options can consist of casting, injections, bracing, physical rehabilitation, and dedicated knee therapy. Sometimes these are used in conjunction with each other.

Some knee injuries and conditions may merit surgical intervention. Our doctors will not advocate for surgery unless all conservative options have been exhausted. Surgical procedures can range from arthroscopic meniscus repair to total knee replacement.

No two people or injuries are the same, and every Resurgens patient receives a unique treatment plan. Our knee therapists work alongside our board-eligible and fellowship-trained physicians to help patients recover function and resume a pain-free life.
