Are You Suffering From Knee Pain On Delmarva?
What Is Knee Pain?
Knee pain is one of the most common musculoskeletal complaints that brings people to the doctor’s office. It affects about 25% of US adults and can be a very disrupting condition that can severely impact the quality of your life. Knee pain can have different causes, for example being overweight puts you at greater risk of experiencing knee problems. Overusing your knee can trigger knee problems and arthritis is a common culprit for an inflamed knee.
What Are The Symptoms of Knee Pain?
If you’ve been dealing with knee pain, you’ve likely come across countless home remedies online. You may have visited a doctor, tried over the counter or prescription medications, and followed exercise suggestions from friends or family. However, it’s likely none of these have offered lasting relief.
Knee pain can be incredibly limiting. It might present as a sharp pain that makes bending or straightening your knee difficult, or as a dull ache that worsens over time, making activities like long walks less enjoyable. You may even find yourself avoiding simple tasks like walking the dogs, and this inactivity can strain your relationships -whether it’s spending time with your spouse, playing with your kids, or enjoying family vacations. As the pain starts to infiltrate your daily routine, you may begin to do less, and the reduced mobility can have other effects. You might notice weight gain or feel a decline in your mood from becoming more sedentary.

What Is Our Approach To Fixing / Treating Knee Pain?
Here at Phirst Physical Therapy, we have treated knee pain in thousands of individuals, and we are acutely aware that it can manifest in various forms. For our active seniors, knee pain often presents as osteoarthritis. Athletes may experience patellofemoral pain, meniscus injuries, or ACL tears.
These conditions are debilitating and can limit participation in recreational activities, gym workouts, and sports. At Phirst Physical Therapy, we work with a diverse range of patients, including high-end athletes, professional athletes, weekend warriors, active seniors, teenagers, and high school athletes.
We use a combination of manual therapy, therapeutic exercises, laser therapy, and dry needling to help alleviate knee pain and restore function. Therapeutic exercises are designed to strengthen the muscles around the knee, enhance stability, and support overall joint function. We also incorporate laser therapy and dry needling as part of our treatment regimen. Laser therapy aids in reducing inflammation and promoting healing, while dry needling targets trigger points to relieve pain and muscle tension.
By combining these techniques, we aim to not only relieve pain but also restore function, allowing patients to return to their daily activities, sports, and recreational pursuits. Our approach is one of a personalized touch, tailored to each patient’s unique needs, helping you achieve optimal recovery and maintain an active, healthy lifestyle.
