Solutions For Hip & Knee Pain
Are you having difficulty getting up and down from your chair or going up and down stairs? Are you avoiding activities because of aches or pain in your hips and knees? You may be experiencing arthritis due to injuries and/or age. Your hips and knees are your largest joints, supporting your body’s weight. They work in close coordination, giving us the mobility we need to enjoy an active lifestyle. But pain can flare up and make our basic activities of daily living a challenge. The good news is that at Liberty Rehab, our physical therapists can help you find solutions to your pain and help you get back to living the life you enjoy! Call our clinic today to learn how we can help you to keep living the kind of life you want with less pain and movement restrictions. Common causes of hip, knee, and leg pain Hip, knee and leg pain are surprisingly common. Thus, their source can come from a variety of things. If you’re experiencing pain in any part of your leg, pinpointing the exact spot can help you determine the cause.
Joint injury and being overweight during early adulthood are signs of a trajectory towards symptomatic osteoarthritis later in life. Repetitive stress and overuse type injuries are more common with tendon related pains. Cartilage and/ or ligament injuries are more commonly associated with slips, falls and sports injuries. While many causes of pain exist, the most common are: • Arthritis • Sprains and strains • Tendonitis • Cartilage injuries In rare or more severe cases, the causes can be: • Fractures • Dislocations • Pinched nerves While some causes are more serious than others, a physical therapist can identify what is causing your pain and clarify what your next steps should be.

Ignoring your pain, or waiting too long to be seen can make the problem worse and eliminate simple solutions. Often it’s inactivity and avoiding movement that can contribute to immobility and pain. We know that our joints need movement for blood flow and nutrition to stay healthy. While some hip, knee and leg pains go away, those lasting longer than several months may be hinting at a deeper issue. Aching or stiffness around the groin is likely coming from the hip joint. Although some think the outer aspect of their pelvis is the “hip,” they are really referring to muscles and not the joint itself. Clarifying the location of your pain will help your physical therapist figure out the source of your pain and the appropriate plan to resolve it. The inner aspect of the knee is commonly thought to be where most people experience early joint pain or cartilage injury. Pain along the outer aspect of the knee is typically due to tendon related injury or inflammation. What Do My Symptoms Mean?
