Knee pain is one of the most common musculoskeletal complaints, affecting people of all ages. Dr. Suraj Shirke highlights that knee pain can arise from various causes, such as osteoarthritis, ligament injuries, tendonitis, or overuse during physical activities. It can also result from accidents, improper alignment, or weight-bearing issues that put excessive stress on the joint. Dr. Shirke emphasizes that a thorough assessment is essential to determine the root cause of the knee pain, as it could range from simple strains to more complex conditions like meniscus tears or rheumatoid arthritis.
Treatment strategies are tailored according to the severity and underlying cause. These may include physiotherapy, targeted exercises, anti-inflammatory medications, or lifestyle modifications such as weight management and joint protection techniques. In some cases, when conservative methods fail, Dr. Shirke may recommend advanced treatments like injections or, in rare cases, surgery. Restoring knee function and reducing pain are key goals, and Dr. Shirke advocates for early intervention to prevent long-term disability. For those suffering from knee pain, a personalized treatment plan can improve mobility, alleviate discomfort, and ultimately enhance the quality of life.
