Understanding Knee Pain: Causes and Symptoms
Knee pain can be caused by a variety of factors, including injury, overuse, or underlying medical conditions. It is important to identify the root cause of your knee pain in order to determine the most appropriate treatment approach.
Common causes of knee pain include:
- Sports injuries
- Arthritis
- Tendonitis
- Bursitis
- Meniscus tears
If you are experiencing any of the following symptoms, it is important to consult with a healthcare professional:
- Persistent pain or discomfort
- Swelling and inflammation
- Difficulty bearing weight

Effective Knee Pain Treatment Options
At Hello Physio SG, we offer a range of evidence-based knee pain treatment options tailored to your specific needs. Our team of experienced professionals will work closely with you to develop a personalized treatment plan that aims to relieve pain, promote healing, and restore function.
1. Physical Therapy
Physical therapy is an integral part of knee pain treatment. Through targeted exercises, manual therapy techniques, and specialized modalities, our skilled therapists can help improve strength, flexibility, and stability in the affected knee joint. Physical therapy can also address underlying imbalances or weaknesses that contribute to knee pain.
2. Medication and Injections
In some cases, medication or injections may be recommended to alleviate knee pain. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) can help reduce inflammation and relieve pain, while corticosteroid injections can provide short-term relief for more severe cases. Our highly skilled healthcare providers will discuss the potential benefits and risks of these options with you.
3. Bracing and Supportive Devices
Bracing and supportive devices can provide added stability and support to the knee joint, reducing pain and preventing further damage. Our team can help determine the most suitable brace or device for your specific condition and ensure proper fitting and usage.
4. Lifestyle Modifications
Simple lifestyle modifications can go a long way in managing knee pain. Our experts will provide guidance on maintaining a healthy weight, avoiding repetitive stress on the knees, and implementing proper techniques during physical activities to minimize the risk of exacerbating knee pain.
5. Surgical Intervention
In cases where conservative treatments fail to provide adequate relief, surgical intervention may be considered. Our team works closely with leading orthopedic surgeons in Singapore to offer advanced surgical options for knee pain, such as arthroscopy or joint replacement, when necessary.
Preventing Knee Pain: Tips for Long-Term Health
While effective treatment is crucial, taking steps to prevent knee pain is equally important. Here are some tips to promote long-term knee health:
- Maintain a healthy weight to reduce excess pressure on the knees.
- Stay active and engage in regular low-impact exercises, such as swimming or cycling.
- Warm up properly before engaging in physical activities and incorporate stretching exercises.
- Wear appropriate footwear that provides proper support and cushioning.
- Avoid repetitive stress on the knees by using proper techniques during physical activities.
- Listen to your body and rest when needed to prevent overuse injuries.
By following these preventive measures, you can significantly reduce the risk of developing knee pain and maintain optimal knee health.
