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.
