Knee pain is a common complaint that affects people of all ages. Knee pain may be the result of an injury, such as a ruptured ligament or torn cartilage. Medical conditions — including arthritis, gout and infections — also can cause knee pain.
Many types of minor knee pain respond well to self-care measures. Physical therapy and knee braces also can help relieve pain. Coreflex injections are a form of minimally invasive treatment used to treat a wide variety of knee pain conditions.
Knee Bursitis
Knee Bursitis
The bursae contains small fluid-filled sacs situated near your knee joint, reducing friction and allowing tendons & ligaments to glide over the joint smoothly. Knee injuries can cause inflammation in the bursae, leading to pain and discomfort. The knee becomes progressively more painful if a patient walks or stands more. Pain related to Knee Bursitis is usually on the inner or middle part of the knee.
Torn meniscus
Torn meniscus
The meniscus is a C-shaped piece of cartilage that acts as a cushion between the thigh bone and shin bone. Twisting the knee while bearing weight on it can tear the meniscus. Age-related wear and tear can also increase the risk of a torn meniscus.
Rheumatoid Arthritis
Rheumatoid Arthritis
This is an autoimmune condition where the body’s immune system attacks its tissues, including the joints. The knee is commonly affected. Rheumatoid arthritis can cause pain, swelling, and joint deformity.
ACL injury
ACL injury
The anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is one of the key ligaments that help stabilize the knee joint. The ACL connects the thighbone (femur) to the shinbone (tibia). It's most commonly torn during sports that involve sudden stops and changes in direction — such as basketball, soccer, tennis and volleyball.
