Knee Pain

"How To Stop Chronic, Daily Annoying Knee Pain WITHOUT Injections, Taking Painkillers, Or Wearing A Support Or Brace..."

Don't give up your desired lifestyle because of problems that can be fixed. That is why we created this specifically for you.

A Message From Aj Siergiej DPT, Tpi-M2 Owner & Founder of Athletic Synergy

If you have bad knees that hurt or ache, it’s easy to believe that it’s “just something that comes with age,” “wear and tear,” or that it’s nothing and will go away on its own.

You’re not sure what’s causing the pain in your knees, but it doesn’t seem to be getting any better!

If this is happening to you, you are not alone; we hear stories like this all the time. Knee pain is, in fact, one of the most common issues we see in our physical therapy clinic.

And when it comes to living with knee pain, everyone we see wants to know the following answers:

“How Come This Is Happening to Me?” Alternatively, “Why Am I Still Suffering From Knee Pain That Worsens After Putting up With It for 6 Months - Sometimes More?”

Most people believe that if they have knee pain, it will “ease off” and go away on its own. That they’ll wake up one day and, as if by “magic,” their knee pain will be gone. Then, 6 months later, you’re still suffering from knee pain, which is frequently worse than when it first appeared.

Does That Describe You?

Another scenario we see frequently in our physical therapy clinic is when people go to their doctors and the well-meaning doctor tells them to “rest”, “try these painkillers”, and “come back in 6 weeks if it’s not better”. But then, 6 weeks later, they return to the same Doctor because it hasn’t improved, only to be given ANOTHER prescription for even stronger pills and possibly a knee brace.

Have You Ever Experienced Something Like That?

Perhaps you’re perplexed because you’ve been told conflicting information by various people. Maybe you believe you need to rest because you’ve been told that walking aggravates knee pain or that you should do ‘this exercise’ and ‘that exercise’ to make it better.

It’s difficult to know what to do – and that’s just to avoid aggravating knee pain!

Because of this confusion, people frequently procrastinate and put off deciding what to do to help alleviate their knee pain. Worse, many people simply accept it as “part of life,” as if it were normal or “had” to be that way.

Are You Feeling This Way, Too?

Here Are Seven Other Reasons Why Knee Pain May Be Lasting Longer Than It Should if You Are Currently Experiencing It:

1. You expected it to go away by itself, but it didn’t.

2. When you visited the doctor, he or she advised you to take painkillers and rest. Nevertheless, the medications did little more than “cover” the pain, and as soon as they wore off, the knee pain stopped you in your tracks once more.

3. You just accepted that everyone suffers knee discomfort as they age because a family member or acquaintance informed you that everyone does.

4. You’ve previously asked a physiotherapist or other healthcare professionals for assistance, but nothing they said or did seem to be of any help.

5. You’ve tried using knee supports and other things, but they haven’t helped the discomfort get any better.

6. Because of the intense discomfort and swelling in your knees, you decided it would be wise to take some time to rest. But, this bothers you every day.

7. You attempted a few workouts from “Youtube,” but they were uncomfortable to perform and had no therapeutic effect.

If any of these things have happened to you, we’d love to help you by inviting you to schedule a call with one of our Physical Therapists in Buffalo, New York to find out what we can do for you.

The fact that you’ve tried any or all of these things is a GOOD THING because knowing what doesn’t work brings you closer to discovering what does!

"How Can I Get Rid of Knee Pain Quickly?"

So, here are four things you can do:

1. First and foremost, you must decide whether or not to seek help – so many people rest for weeks, hoping that the pain will ‘just go away with time,’ only to find that 6 months later, nothing has changed… Alternatively, the pain and swelling worsen.

2. Next, do the RIGHT exercises – one of the best things you can do to help ease your knee pain is to do the right series of progressed exercises – the right exercises given to you by a Physiotherapist will help reduce pain, allow you to move freely again quickly – and ensure that the problems don’t return anytime soon.

3. Avoid sitting in awkward positions; you and I were not designed to sit. When you sit and bend your knees, you are putting your knees in awkward, unnatural positions that they are not designed to be in for long periods. It would be extremely beneficial if you were given appropriate strengthening exercises for better posture, in addition to hands-on treatment, to get you active and healthy as soon as possible.

4. Physical Therapy that is “hands-on” Physical therapy has been shown to help people suffering from knee pain. It’s one of the most common issues we see with our athletes and active adults at Athletic Synergy. If your knee pain is interfering with your job, preventing you from staying active, or threatening your independence and preventing you from spending quality time with family and friends, Physical Therapy can help you get back to living the life you deserve as soon as possible.
