 Knee Pain Diagnosis

Accurate diagnosis is essential for creating a personalised treatment plan, especially when patients report mobility limitations or require targeted back-of-knee pain treatment. At Sarvodaya, our team combines clinical expertise with advanced imaging tools to pinpoint the cause of pain.

• Patient history – evaluating activity level, past injuries, and duration or nature of symptoms.
• X-rays – useful for detecting bone fractures, arthritis, or joint space changes.
• MRI Scan – offers detailed views of soft tissues like ligaments, meniscus, and cartilage.
• Ultrasound – helps assess tendon problems, fluid accumulation, or dynamic joint movement.
• Blood tests – recommended if infection or autoimmune inflammation is suspected.
• Arthroscopy (if needed) – a minimally invasive scope that allows direct internal visualisation and treatment.

Treatment for Knee Pain

• Exercise-Based Therapy: Customised physiotherapy strengthens knee muscles, improves flexibility, and reduces strain, helping manage pain from arthritis, injuries, or wear-and-tear without invasive procedures.
• Injections & Pain Management: Steroid, hyaluronic acid, or PRP injections reduce inflammation and provide temporary pain relief, especially useful in moderate arthritis or non-surgical knee conditions.
• Knee Preservation (Osteotomy): Minimally invasive arthroscopy or osteotomy procedures preserve the joint, treating ligament or meniscal injuries while delaying or avoiding knee replacement surgery.
• Knee Replacement Surgery: For severe joint damage, robotic knee replacement offers unmatched precision, reduced pain, faster recovery, and better alignment compared to traditional surgical methods.
• Personalised Rehabilitation: Individualised rehab plans ensure progressive recovery, restore mobility and strength, prevent complications, and support a return to daily activities or sports safely.

Knee Pain Prevention & Lifestyle Modification

Preventing knee pain requires a proactive approach to daily movement, joint care, and muscle conditioning. At Sarvodaya, patients are guided by the best orthopaedic doctor in Faridabad to adopt habits that reduce joint stress and maintain knee health.

• Maintain a healthy body weight to ease the pressure on weight-bearing joints like the knees.
• Engage in regular low-impact exercises such as walking, swimming, or cycling to keep joints flexible.
• Strengthen leg muscles, especially the quadriceps and hamstrings, to support knee alignment.
• Warm up and stretch properly before exercise to prevent ligament or tendon injuries.
• Wear appropriate footwear that provides cushioning, arch support, and stability.
