Knee and lower extremity pain can keep you sidelined and disrupt daily life. Whether you’re experiencing sudden, acute pain from an injury or chronic discomfort from overuse, Access Sports Medicine offers a full spectrum of care to help you recover and regain your active lifestyle.

Common Causes of Knee & Lower Extremity Pain:

Acute Injuries: Falls, slips, twists, and deceleration injuries can lead to pain and damage in the knees, ankles, legs, and feet.
Overuse Injuries: Repetitive strain from running, jumping, or other activities can cause stress fractures, tendonitis, and other chronic conditions.
Underlying Conditions: Arthritis, ligament tears, meniscus injuries, and other conditions can cause pain and limit mobility.

Don’t Wait — Early Intervention is Key

The knee is a complex joint that bears a lot of weight and stress. Ignoring knee or lower extremity pain can worsen your condition and delay recovery. Our experienced team at Access Sports Medicine can diagnose your issue and create a personalized treatment plan to get you back on track.

Comprehensive Treatment Options

Non-Surgical Treatments:

  • RICE Therapy (Rest, Ice, Compression, Elevation): The first line of defense for acute injuries.
  • Physical Therapy: Customized exercise programs to strengthen muscles, improve flexibility, and restore function.
  • Anti-inflammatory Medications: To reduce pain and swelling.
  • Bracing or Orthotics: To provide support and stability.
  • Injections: Medications, such as steroids and hyaluronic acid, can reduce pain and increase function for knee pain associated with osteoarthritis. Regenerative medicine/orthobiologics, such as platelet-rich plasma, prolotherapy, and adipose, may provide longer term pain relief for pain associated with osteoarthritis, degenerative meniscus tears, and chondromalacia.
  • Shockwave Therapy: can provide pain relief from degenerative meniscus tears.

Surgical Treatments:
Minimally Invasive Procedures: Arthroscopy for ligament repairs, meniscus tears, and other joint issues.
