Advanced Knee Pain Relief in Ottawa

Scroll down2

Knee pain is a common complaint that affects people of various ages, significantly impacting their mobility and quality of life. MOOV Physiotherapy & Wellness in Ottawa offers specialized care for those suffering from knee pain, employing advanced techniques and personalized treatment plans.

Understanding the Prevalence of Knee Pain

Knee pain can arise from a variety of causes, ranging from acute injuries to chronic medical conditions. It is one of the most common musculoskeletal complaints that bring people to medical attention.

 

Impact on Mobility and Lifestyle

Knee pain can severely limit one's ability to move freely, perform daily activities, and enjoy an active lifestyle. It can also lead to other health issues due to reduced mobility and the psychological impact of chronic pain.

Understanding Knee Pain

Knee pain can vary in intensity and can be a symptom of many different conditions. Accurate diagnosis is key to effective treatment and long-term relief.

Common Causes of Knee Pain:

  • Ligament Injuries: Such as ACL tears, often occurring in sports.
  • Meniscal Tears: Caused by twisting or turning quickly, often with the foot planted while the knee is bent.
  • Arthritis: Including osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis.
  • Tendonitis/ Tendonosis: Inflammation of tendons, often from overuse.
  • Bursitis: Inflammation caused by repeated overuse or injury.

Your Path to Knee Pain Relief

At MOOV Physiotherapy & Wellness, we understand that knee pain is a personal and often complex issue. Our approach is to provide a tailored treatment plan that addresses the specific needs and goals of each patient.

Comprehensive Assessment

Your journey begins with a thorough assessment to determine the cause of your knee pain. This includes a physical examination, medical history review, and may involve diagnostic tests.

Personalized Treatment Plans

Based on the assessment, our team will develop a customized treatment plan. This plan is designed to not only alleviate your current pain but also to prevent future knee problems.

Specialized Physiotherapy for Knee Pain

Our physiotherapy treatments are aimed at reducing pain, improving mobility, and strengthening the knee to prevent further injury.

 

Techniques Include:

  • Manual Therapy:  Including massage and joint mobilization.
  • Exercise Therapy: Tailored exercises to strengthen and stabilize the knee joint.
  • Gait Analysis and Training: To improve walking patterns and reduce stress on the knee.
  • Pain Management Education: Teaching strategies to manage and reduce knee pain.

Building Strength and Stability

A key focus of our treatment is to build strength and stability in the knee joint, which is crucial for long-term knee health and pain prevention.

 

Dry Needling/IMS Therapy for Knee Pain

Dry needling, or Intramuscular Stimulation (IMS), is an effective technique for treating certain types of knee pain, especially those related to muscle tension and trigger points.

 

How Dry Needling Helps

This technique involves inserting fine needles into specific points, helping to release muscle tension and reduce pain. It is particularly effective for conditions like patellar tendonitis and muscle imbalances.

Benefits of Dry Needling:

  • Relief from muscle tightness and spasms.
  • Improved joint mobility.
  • Enhanced recovery from knee injuries.
