Aditthya Hospitals in Karaikudi treats knee pain through a combination of diagnosis, medication, physiotherapy, and, when necessary, surgical options including knee replacement.
Common Causes of Knee Pain
Knee pain can result from osteoarthritis, ligament injuries, meniscus tears, sports-related trauma, or general wear and tear over time. The right treatment depends heavily on identifying the exact cause, which is why a proper orthopedic evaluation is the first step.
Treatment Options at Aditthya Hospitals
For mild to moderate knee pain, treatment often starts with medication, activity modification, and physiotherapy to strengthen the surrounding muscles and improve joint function. For sports-related injuries, arthroscopy may be used for both diagnosis and minimally invasive treatment.
When knee damage is advanced, particularly in cases of severe osteoarthritis, knee replacement surgery may be recommended to restore mobility and relieve chronic pain.
Recovery and Rehabilitation
The hospital's physiotherapy and rehabilitation department plays a central role in recovery, whether the treatment involved surgery or a conservative approach, helping patients regain strength and range of motion safely.
