Knee Pain Treatment
Knee pain is one of the most common orthopedic complaints, ranging from mild discomfort after activity to persistent pain that limits walking and daily movement. Dr. Keyur Shah evaluates the knee thoroughly, checking for signs of cartilage wear, ligament injury, or early arthritis, since accurate diagnosis is essential to effective treatment.
Treatment usually starts with the least invasive options that genuinely help — physiotherapy, weight management, activity modification, and medication are effective for most patients in the early stages of knee pain. Dr. Shah closely monitors progress and adjusts the treatment plan based on how well the knee responds to conservative care.
When knee pain persists despite conservative treatment, further options such as joint injections, arthroscopy, or knee replacement are discussed based on the underlying cause. Addressing knee pain early, rather than waiting for it to worsen, gives patients the best chance of avoiding more invasive treatment later.
