What Is Knee Pain?
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| The knee joint is one of the most complex and largest joints in the body. It is susceptible to injury and wear and tear. Knee pain can be caused by various factors, including:
|
|
|
| 1.
|
Injuries
Knee injuries are a common cause of knee pain, and they can range from mild to severe. Common injuries include ACL tears, meniscus tears, and fractures.
|
|
|
| 2.
|
Medical Conditions
Certain medical conditions, such as osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and gout, can cause knee pain.
|
|
|
| 3.
|
Overuse
Overuse injuries, such as runner's knee or patellar tendinitis, are common in people who participate in high-impact sports or activities.
|
|
|
| 4.
|
Obesity
Excess weight puts extra pressure on the knee joint, which can lead to pain and inflammation.
|
|
|
| The symptoms of knee pain can vary depending on the underlying cause. Some common symptoms include:
|
|
|
| 1.
|
Pain and stiffness in the knee joint
|
|
|
| 2.
|
Swelling and inflammation
|
|
|
| 3.
|
Limited range of motion
|
|
|
| 4.
|
Weakness or instability in the knee joint
|
|
|
| 5.
|
Clicking or popping sounds when moving the knee
|
|
|
| 6.
|
Redness or warmth in the knee joint
|
|
|
|
|
| Running and exercising, when done correctly and with proper form, do not necessarily damage knees. In fact, regular exercise can strengthen the muscles supporting the knees and reduce the risk of knee pain and injury.

FAQ
|
|
|
| What can I expect after receiving a Knee Joint Hyaluronic Acid/Rejuvenating Therapy injection?
|
|
|
We recommend a period of 12 to 24 hours of rest immediately after the injection to reduce on-site pain and to decrease the chance of hyaluronic acid from being flushed away from the joint capsule.
|
|
|
| What activities should I avoid after receiving a knee injection?
|
|
|
During the rest period, you may perform simple, low-impact activities, such as slow and short walks. Running, carrying heavy loads, and performing other high-impact activities should be avoided during this period. The pain-relieving effects of this procedure usually appear around the fourth week after the injection.
|
|
|
| What should I do to protect my knees after injection treatment?
|
|
|
We usually recommend a follow-up program including physical therapy and at-home knee exercises. These practices help build and maintain muscle strength around the knee joint. Venus Legacy is an innovative non-invasive medical device that can help you recover faster from soft tissue injuries by relieving pain, reducing swelling, and improving local blood circulation. The device combines deep and targeted tissue heating, pulsed magnetic energy, and massage in one treatment, making it more effective in providing the fast results you want for your knee injury. Treatments are quick (on average 10 minutes) and can be done between one to three times a week. Pain relief may be noticeable after just one session. It may also help decrease knee osteoarthritis symptoms and slow down joint degeneration.
|
|
|
| How many sessions of Venus Legacy do I need to see results?
|
|
|
Most patients will receive 4-6 treatment sessions to experience the most effective results. The exact number of treatments will depend on each individual person and the area being treated. Keep in mind that although you may notice a significant improvement after one session, subsequent treatments are necessary to maintain results. We advise that you complete the full treatment plan as recommended by our doctor.
