At Superior Physical Therapy, we can get you moving once again by relieving your pain and enhancing your body’s natural healing process. Call today to schedule an appointment with one of our experts! WHAT ARE THE MOST COMMON KNEE INJURIES? Your knee is one of the largest joints in your body, made up of a complex system of bones, tendons, and ligaments. Knee injuries can result from direct contact or a sudden movement that strains the knee. When there is no specific event connected to the damage, the most common knee pain causes are aging, injury, or repeated stress on the knee. Knee pain can be mild or severe and include sprained ligaments, cartilage tears, tendonitis, and arthritis.
Do you experience pain and swelling with squatting or climbing stairs? Do your knees often catch or lock up, making it difficult to perform daily tasks that once seemed simple? At Superior Physical Therapy, our physical therapists can help you find relief and get you moving again! Knee pain can be debilitating, making it difficult to walk, run, and move. It may even hinder your ability to do simple things like sitting through a movie or a long car ride. The location of your pain helps determine which structures are involved and can help ensure proper treatment. Often the pain leads to avoiding activity, but this strategy does not help in the long run. Inactivity often leads to more dysfunction and disability. Physical therapists are movement experts, and if your symptoms are severe or last more than a few weeks, your first step should be to contact our physical therapists!

HEALTHY RECIPE: SWEET POTATO CASSEROLE
“THEY DON’T RUSH YOU IN AND OUT BUT TAKE THE TIME TO DO WHAT IS BEST FOR YOU. ” “I have been going to Superior Physical Therapy for many years off and on. The establishment is always clean and neat with incredibly pleasant customer service. It has a nice homey feel to it with family like workers. The service I have received from therapist Andy Good and tech Desi Whiting has been over the top care with their education put to good use, and they are always learning new things to help their clients. They both are always happy to assist me as well as others I’ve seen. They don’t rush you in and out but take the time to do what is best for you. They don’t leave you alone waiting for the next thing to do but are constantly guiding and helping you get to a better place. They don’t push or nag you to do more but gently encourage you to get to your goal by always saying how good you did today, or you should be proud of yourself for the progress you’ve made today, or I can tell you did your homework and I see it is working. I don’t want to go to P.T. if I can’t have them, but my husband says how great his therapist Brett and tech Dave are with him. I’ve heard from so many people that just love all the care team here. It’s a great place to go for all your therapy needs.” — Rikki S.

CARVE OUT SOME TIME FOR END-OF-YEAR PT CARE. Do you have a family insurance plan? Have you had surgery this year? Have you used your insurance more than usual? If you answered yes, you are more likely to have a $0 balance remaining on your out-of-pocket expenses. This means the cost could be minimal or completely covered by your insurance plan. Now is the time to come in for physical therapy!

• Arthritis. The most common type of arthritis for knee pain is osteoarthritis (OA). This condition occurs when the cartilage surrounding your joints deteriorates, and the joint no longer has a sufficient cushion between the bone. This leads to joint inflammation, with varying levels of pain and dysfunction. • Cartilage Injuries. There are two common cartilage injuries: • Meniscus injury: The meniscus serves as a shock absorber and helps maintain stability in the knee. A meniscus tear can be caused by contact or non-contact activity when the knee twists suddenly. Some tears are the result of wear and tear. • Articular cartilage injury: The articular cartilage is a smooth covering on the bones that allows for frictionless sliding of one bone on another. Articular cartilage is injured by direct trauma or wear and tear. • Ligament Injuries: Our bones are connected by ligaments. The ligaments in your knee act like leather straps to hold the bones together and keep your knee stable. Ligaments are often stretched and/or torn during a sudden motion. • Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL). It is located in the center of the knee and controls rotation and forward movement of the shin bone. • Posterior cruciate ligament (PCL). It is located in the back of the knee and controls the backward movement of the shin bone. • Medial collateral ligament (MCL). The medial collateral ligament is on the inside of your knee and provides stability to sideway motions. • Lateral collateral ligament (LCL). The lateral collateral ligament is on the outside of your knee and provides stability to the sideways motions. • Tendinitis. Your tendons are thick connective tissues that attach muscles to bones. Tendinitis occurs when the tendon becomes inflamed due to repetitive movements. It is common with jumping and landing motions and also in sports like skiing, cycling, or hurdling. Knee pain can make it hard to walk, rise from a chair, climb stairs, or play sports. Our physical therapists are trained to diagnose and treat knee pain and help ease your pain and get you back to doing what you love! 7 5 1 8 6 5 7 6 9 5 3 2 1 7 5 9 2 4 4 8 4 9 1 7 2 3 http://1sudoku.com n° 227580 - Level Medium You can find relief from your pain.
