If you’ve been sidelined by knee pain—whether from a sports injury, arthritis, or overuse—knowing when to seek help can make all the difference. At OrthoKnox, our team of orthopedic specialists and in-house physical therapists work together to get you back on your feet quickly and safely.
When to See an Orthopedic Specialist
Mild soreness after a workout is common, but persistent or worsening knee pain deserves attention. You should schedule an orthopedic evaluation if:
-
Pain lasts more than a week despite rest and ice
-
You notice swelling, stiffness, or locking in your knee
-
You experience weakness, instability, or popping during movement
-
You have difficulty walking, climbing stairs, or getting up from a chair
An orthopedic specialist can identify the underlying cause—whether it’s a ligament injury, meniscus tear, or early arthritis—and recommend an effective, personalized treatment plan.
The Power of In-House Physical Therapy
One of the key advantages of choosing OrthoKnox is having in-house physical therapy under the same roof as your orthopedic care. This collaborative model ensures seamless communication between your surgeon and therapist, resulting in:
-
Faster recovery through coordinated care with our orthopedic team
-
Tailored rehabilitation exercises for your exact diagnosis
-
Real-time progress tracking and treatment adjustments
Our experienced physical therapists guide you every step of the way, focusing on strength, flexibility, and long-term joint health.
