At Maximum Rehabilitation Services in Chicago, IL, Evergreen Park, IL, or Munster, IN, we know that the knee joint relies on the joints above (hip) and below (ankle/foot) to function properly. Knee pain can be a sign of a problem elsewhere in the body. Our therapists will thoroughly assess and optimize your function to ensure you achieve measurable results and maximize your physical performance.
Your knee is called a hinge joint that bends and straightens. These motions are the product of the complex coordination and timing of muscles, nerves, and bones. Limitations, weaknesses, and restrictions in tissues can affect the function and ability of the knee.
If you have knee pain, you will not be able to move as freely as you would like. Although it might seem counterintuitive, there are times when knee pain is not the source of your problem. Symptoms in your knee can alert you to a problem in the foot or hip region. There are, of course, times when the knee pain you feel is due to an actual issue/injury in the knee itself.
Fortunately, at Maximum Rehabilitation Services in Chicago, IL, Evergreen Park, IL, or Munster, IN, our physical therapists use an evidence-based approach to get to the root of your problems. Our therapists take measurements to establish baselines and to track progress, including the following:
Once we identify all the factors associated with your condition, we’ll target each issue with proven techniques. Our results-driven focus will help to accelerate your recovery and provide lasting relief for your knee.
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 pain levels, stiffness, and reduced mobility.
Cartilage Injuries: There are two common cartilage injuries:
If you twist your knee quickly while bearing weight or sustain other trauma, the cartilage may be injured. It is also possible for prolonged inactivity or repetitive movements to cause fraying and eventually tearing of the cartilage.
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. Ligament injuries are often caused by sudden stops and twists or direct blows to the knee.
