Knee Pain El Cajon

How We Help Knee Pain!

As someone dealing with knee pain, we are sure you know how it quietly limits more and more of your life. You stop taking the stairs without thinking about it, you skip the hikes you used to enjoy, and by the afternoon your knee is the thing you notice most.

What Can Happen If Knee Pain Is Untreated?

Living with knee pain can have a tremendous impact on your life, from your emotional state to your ability to perform mundane tasks. Knee pain often follows a predictable cycle: it flares, you rest, it settles, you return to normal activity, and it flares again. Nothing has changed about the underlying movement pattern, so nothing changes about the outcome.

So, what exactly can happen if knee pain goes untreated?

• Increased Pain Severity
• Recurring Flare Ups
• Poor Patellar Tracking
• Hip and Ankle Compensation
• Decreased Mobility
• Muscle Weakness
• Altered Walking Patterns
• Loss of Active Lifestyle

It's vital to address persistent knee pain promptly to prevent potential issues. Dr. Caruso evaluates the full lower extremity chain, including hip mobility, ankle range, foot mechanics, and the knee itself, then develops a tailored plan that may include adjustments, soft tissue work, and specific exercises to reinforce corrections between visits.
