Understanding Knee Pain
Knee pain is a prevalent issue that spans across all age groups, manifesting through various symptoms and caused by a multitude of factors. A deeper understanding of these causes is essential for devising effective treatment strategies.
With such a wide array of potential causes, a thorough assessment and accurate diagnosis are crucial steps in our approach to treating knee pain. This comprehensive understanding allows us to address not just the symptoms but the root causes of your discomfort.
Injuries
Injuries are a primary source of knee pain, encompassing a range of conditions from acute ligament tears, such as ACL and MCL injuries, to meniscus tears resulting from twisting movements, and tendonitis from overuse.
Arthritis
Arthritis is another significant contributor, with osteoarthritis leading the charge as a common degenerative condition that affects many. Rheumatoid arthritis and gout also play roles in knee pain, contributing to joint deterioration and discomfort.
Overuse injuries
Overuse Injuries occur due to repetitive stress on the knee joint, often seen in athletes or individuals with jobs that require constant knee motion, leading to conditions like patellar tendinitis or IT band syndrome.
Inflammation-related conditions
Inflammation-related conditions such as bursitis, involve the inflammation of the bursae, the small sacs of fluid that cushion the outside of your knee joint, causing pain and swelling.

Knee Pain Treatment Winnipeg FAQs
What Should I Expect During My First Visit for Knee Pain?
During your initial visit to Harbourview Therapy for knee pain, you will undergo a comprehensive assessment by one of our healthcare professionals. This evaluation includes a detailed discussion about your medical history, symptoms, and any specific incidents that may have contributed to your knee pain. Following this, a physical examination will be conducted to assess the mobility, strength, and alignment of your knee and surrounding structures. Based on this assessment, our team will develop a personalized treatment plan tailored to your specific condition and goals.
Will I Need to Stop My Sports or Exercise Activities?
Not necessarily. The goal of treatment is to return you to your normal activities as safely and quickly as possible. Initially, you may need to modify your activities or take a short break from sports or exercises that put significant stress on your knee to allow for recovery. Our therapists can provide you with alternatives that maintain your fitness without aggravating your knee pain. As your treatment progresses and your knee strengthens, we will work with you to gradually reintroduce your usual sports or exercise activities, often with modifications or additional support to prevent re-injury.
How Long Does It Typically Take to See Improvement?
The duration before noticeable improvement can vary significantly from person to person, depending on the underlying cause of the knee pain, the severity of the condition, and individual response to treatment. Generally, clients may start to see improvements within a few weeks of consistent treatment. However, for more complex or severe conditions, it might take longer. It's important to maintain open communication with your therapist about your progress and adhere to the prescribed treatment plan, including at-home exercises and any recommended lifestyle changes, to optimize your recovery process.
Is It Normal to Experience Some Pain During Treatment?
It is common to experience some level of discomfort during your knee pain treatment, especially when beginning a new exercise or therapy regimen. This discomfort should be temporary and manageable. It's a part of the body's natural recovery process as you work to strengthen and stretch the knee and surrounding muscles. However, it's important to communicate openly with your therapist about any pain you experience. They can adjust your treatment plan as needed to ensure your comfort while still effectively addressing your knee pain. Remember, the goal of therapy is to reduce your overall pain and improve your knee function over time.
