Knee Pain
Understanding the Knee Joint and Its Vulnerabilities
While mild cases of knee pain can sometimes be managed with over-the-counter anti-inflammatory ointments or medications, more severe or persistent pain often requires professional attention. In many traditional medical settings, patients are commonly advised to rely on long-term drug use or undergo total knee replacement surgery—an invasive procedure that can involve extensive recovery and post-operative pain.
At our clinic, we offer alternative, non-invasive solutions designed to address the root causes of knee pain without the need for ongoing medication or major surgery.
Even if you’ve already had a total knee replacement and are still experiencing discomfort, we may be able to help. Our advanced, patient-centered treatments are tailored to relieve pain, restore mobility, and improve quality of life—often without the need for additional invasive procedures.
Best of all, our services are covered by most insurance plans, making lasting relief more accessible than ever.

Symptoms of Knee Pain: When Should You Seek Help?
Knee pain can significantly impact daily life, as the knee is one of the body’s most active and intricate joints. Throughout a typical day, the knee performs various motions, such as sitting, walking, and twisting, while also bearing the body’s weight alongside the feet.
Due to this continuous strain, the knee can suffer damage to muscles, cartilage, or the joint. Knee pain can vary greatly from person to person, ranging from occasional discomfort to acute or chronic pain. Common signs and symptoms of knee pain include:
Joint Inflammation: Swelling or redness around the knee area
Tenderness: Pain when touching or pressing on the knee
Knee Instability: The knee feels like it might give out or buckle unexpectedly
Locking or Stiffness: The knee may become stiff or feel like it’s “locked” in place
Grinding or Popping Sensations: A grinding noise or sensation when moving the knee
Popping Sounds: Audible popping or cracking when bending or straightening the knee
Limited Mobility: Difficulty bending or extending the knee fully
Pain Radiating to Other Areas: Knee pain that leads to discomfort in surrounding areas, such as the hip, lower back, or leg
Woodstock residents experiencing any of these symptoms should seek a comprehensive evaluation to explore effective treatment options tailored to their needs.
