How We Treat Knee Pain
Knee pain can arise suddenly or develop gradually—and each cause requires a unique approach. That’s why we start with a comprehensive diagnosis and develop a care plan based on your lifestyle and goals.
Common knee conditions we treat include:
- Ligament injuries like ACL, MCL, or PCL tears
- Meniscus tears, cartilage damage, and joint degeneration
- Patellar tracking issues and instability
- Arthritis, including osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis
- Tendonitis, bursitis, and inflammation
- Sports injuries and post-traumatic damage
Our treatment plans are tailored to your diagnosis, lifestyle, and goals. For many patients, physical and occupational therapy can help reduce pain and improve joint strength without the need for surgery. Our therapists provide hands-on, one-on-one care to help you build stability, flexibility, and confidence in your movements.
Pain management techniques, from common medication for knee pain to advanced treatments like ultrasound-guided injections, may be appropriate, and Dr. Huy Nguyen(opens in a new tab) specializes in non-surgical management that includes guided injections. These options can relieve discomfort and improve mobility, often with little to no downtime.
If conservative treatments don’t provide enough relief, our orthopedic surgeons, including Dr. Craig Bennett(opens in a new tab), who performs joint replacements of the hip, knee and shoulder, Dr. Kenton Panas(opens in a new tab), who completed a sports medicine fellowship covering complex knee issues, and Dr. Jared Salinsky(opens in a new tab), who specializes in total joints and arthroscopy, offer advanced procedures, including arthroscopic knee surgery to repair or remove damaged tissue and total or partial knee replacement surgery for severe arthritis or joint degeneration. We also treat traumatic knee injuries, stabilizing fractures and supporting long-term healing, and we see knee patients at our Hudson, Brooksville and Lutz offices.
Frequently Asked Questions
What causes knee pain?
Injuries, arthritis, overuse, and degenerative changes are the most common causes. We provide a full diagnostic evaluation to identify the root of your symptoms.
How do I know if my knee pain needs medical attention?
Pain that lasts more than a few days, limits mobility, or is accompanied by swelling, clicking, or instability should be evaluated by a specialist.
Will I need surgery for my knee pain?
Not necessarily. We prioritize non-surgical treatments first and only consider surgery if those options are ineffective. Many patients improve with therapy and pain management.
