Knee Injury Therapy - Recovery inMilwaukee

A knee injury can affect any of the ligaments, tendons or fluid-filled sacs (bursa) that surround your knee joint as well as the bones, cartilage and ligaments that form the joint itself. Because there are so many structures involved, the amount of use it gets in the course of a lifetime, and the range of injuries and diseases that can cause knee pain, the signs and symptoms of knee problems will vary widely.

Physical Therapy can relieve knee pain.

Acute Knee Pain

Severe pain that comes on suddenly is often caused by an injury. Some of the more common of these are:

  • Ligament injuries
  • Tendon injuries
  • Meniscus injuries
  • Bursitis
  • Loose body (a piece of bone or cartilage that may be "floating" around.)
  • Dislocated kneecap
  • Osgood-Schlatter disease.
  • Iliotibial band syndrome
  • Hyperextended knee
• Septic arthritis

 

Chronic Knee Pain

Sometimes an injury can lead to ongoing knee pain. Often, chronic pain will be a result of one of the following medical conditions:

  • Rheumatoid arthritis
  • Osteoarthritis
  • Gout
  • Chondromalacia of the patella or patellofemoral pain

 

Whether your pain is acute or chronic, whether you are an athletic teen or a senior who has just had a total knee replacement, PROCare Physical Therapy of Milwaukee will help to get you the results that you need and want in order to get back to normal.

Crossbow Evaluations available:  Bow hunting season is upon us, starting Sept. 13 and running through January. At PROCare Physical Therapy of Milwaukee, one of our physical therapists is an advanced bow hunter. He would like to help injured Wisconsin hunters by providing them with a crossbow evaluation, which will help them secure a permit, so they can continue to enjoy the sport of hunting. Many people may present with an injury which could prohibit them from enjoying this hunting season. Some physical limitations which might necessitate a crossbow evaluation include hand, elbow, back or shoulder problems. If you are an archery enthusiast, and show signs of these problems, contact PROCare at 414-282-9590.
