Know what you are dealing with
Common Causes of Knee Pain
The knee takes load from both the hip above and the foot below, so pain can have many sources. Your evaluation tells us which one you are dealing with.
01
Osteoarthritis
What it feels like
A deep ache and stiffness that is worse in the morning or after sitting, sometimes with swelling after a busy day.
How we help
Joint mobilization and strengthening for the thigh and hip muscles that support the knee, plus a plan to keep you active.
We go over how your knee pain started and what sets it off. Then we test your knee motion, strength, and stability, and watch how you walk, squat, and use stairs.
02
A plan for your knee
Your providers agree on the right mix of physical therapy, chiropractic care, and acupuncture, and set goals that matter to you, like stairs, long walks, or getting back to your sport.
03
Treatment and tools for home
Treatment in the clinic, plus a home exercise program that builds strength in your legs and hips so your knee has more support every day.
After two knee surgeries as a teenager they have helped me tremendously. Beyond thankful for everything they have done to get me back to my sports.
Book an evaluation if your knee pain lasts more than a few weeks, keeps you from normal activities, or comes with swelling, a feeling of giving way, or trouble putting weight on your leg.
Can I treat knee pain at home first?
Mild knee pain often settles with rest, ice, compression, and elevation for a few days. If it keeps coming back or is not getting better, an evaluation can find the cause so you are not just managing symptoms.
Can physical therapy help me avoid knee surgery?
For many knee problems, conservative care is the first step, and some people do well without surgery. If your knee is not responding the way we expect, or your evaluation points to a problem that needs a surgeon, we will let you know and help you take that next step.
Do you help with rehab after knee surgery?
Yes. We help patients rebuild motion, strength, and confidence after knee surgery, including knee replacement and other orthopedic procedures, and we guide a safe return to walking, work, and sports.
Do you accept insurance?
Yes. We accept most major plans, including Medicare, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Aetna, Cigna, and UnitedHealthcare, and we verify your benefits before your first visit. Call (908) 282-3737 and we will check your coverage.
What should I wear to my first visit?
Wear shorts or loose pants that roll up above the knee, and bring the shoes you usually walk or train in. Also bring your insurance card and any imaging reports or surgery notes.
