Your knees are crucial for almost every movement – walking, running, bending, climbing stairs, and enjoying sports. When knee pain strikes, it can severely limit your independence and quality of life, transforming simple daily tasks into agonizing challenges. Whether it's a sharp pain after activity, persistent stiffness, swelling, or instability that makes you wary of every step, knee discomfort can be incredibly debilitating.
At AdvanCell in Dhaka, we deeply understand the frustration and limitations caused by knee pain. Our specialized team of pain management experts, including physicians and physiotherapists, offers a comprehensive and personalized approach to accurately diagnose and effectively treat your knee pain. Our commitment extends beyond temporary relief; we focus on identifying and addressing the root cause, restoring joint function, and empowering you with strategies for long-term comfort and a more active life.
You could significantly benefit from our expert guidance for knee pain if you are experiencing:
Persistent Pain or Ache: In or around your knee joint.
Stiffness or Swelling: Especially after activity or periods of rest.
Limited Range of Motion: Difficulty bending or straightening your knee fully.
Clicking, Popping, or Grinding Sensations: During knee movement.
Instability or "Giving Way" Sensation: Feeling like your knee might buckle.
Pain Worsened by Specific Activities: Such as walking, climbing stairs, running, or squatting.
Specific Conditions: Such as Osteoarthritis, Meniscal Tears, Ligament Injuries (ACL, MCL, LCL), Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome ("Runner's Knee"), Tendinitis (Patellar or Quadriceps), Bursitis, or general Sports Injuries.
Seeking Non-Surgical Solutions: For your knee pain.
Desiring to Return to Sports or Hobbies: Without pain.
The knee is the largest and one of the most complex joints in the body, bearing significant weight and experiencing immense stress. It's composed of bones (femur, tibia, patella), cartilage, ligaments (ACL, PCL, MCL, LCL), tendons, and two shock-absorbing menisci. Pain can arise from various issues within this intricate structure:
Osteoarthritis (OA): The most common form of knee arthritis, resulting from the breakdown of joint cartilage, leading to pain, stiffness, and swelling, often worsening with age.
Meniscal Tears: Tears in the C-shaped cartilage (meniscus) that cushion the knee joint, often from twisting injuries or degenerative changes.
Ligament Injuries: Sprains or tears of the major ligaments (e.g., ACL, MCL, LCL) often occur during sports or falls, leading to instability.
Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome ("Runner's Knee"): Pain around the kneecap, often due to overuse, muscle imbalances, or misalignment.
Tendinitis: Inflammation of the tendons around the knee, such as patellar tendinitis ("jumper's knee") or quadriceps tendinitis.
Bursitis: Inflammation of the bursae, small fluid-filled sacs that cushion the joint.
Overuse Injuries: Repetitive stress from activities like running or jumping.
Mechanical Problems: Issues like flat feet, muscle weakness or tightness in the hips or ankles, which affect knee alignment and function.
Acute Injuries: Fractures, dislocations, or direct trauma to the knee.
At AdvanCell, we implement a precise, personalized, and comprehensive strategy for managing your knee pain. Our method is built upon:
Accurate Diagnosis: Pinpointing the exact source of your pain and the underlying contributing factors to ensure targeted and effective treatment.
Personalized Treatment Plans: Crafting unique recovery pathways tailored to your specific condition, activity level, lifestyle, and goals.
Non-Surgical Emphasis: Prioritizing effective conservative treatments to help you avoid invasive procedures whenever possible.
Holistic Care: Addressing not just physical symptoms, but also lifestyle factors, biomechanical imbalances, and empowering you with self-management techniques.
Long-Term Prevention: Providing you with the knowledge and tools to prevent future pain episodes and maintain optimal knee health.
Our Knee Pain Management programs at AdvanCell are designed for comprehensive relief and lasting recovery:
Comprehensive Diagnostic Assessment:
Detailed Medical History: A thorough discussion about your pain's characteristics, onset, mechanism of injury (if applicable), aggravating/relieving factors, and how it impacts your daily life and activities.
Thorough Physical Examination: Assessing knee range of motion, stability, muscle strength (especially quadriceps, hamstrings, glutes), tenderness, and specific orthopedic tests to identify the likely source of pain (e.g., for meniscal tears, ligament integrity, patellofemoral issues).
Gait & Biomechanical Analysis: Observing how you walk and move to identify contributing factors like altered gait patterns or muscle imbalances.
Diagnostic Imaging Referrals (If Necessary): If red flags are present, or to confirm structural issues like significant meniscal tears, ligament ruptures, or severe arthritis, we may recommend X-rays (for bone/arthritis), MRI (for soft tissue), or Ultrasound scans.
Personalized Treatment Plan Development:
Based on your precise diagnosis, we create a multi-modal treatment strategy uniquely tailored to your needs.
Targeted Physiotherapy & Rehabilitation:
Therapeutic Exercises: Specific stretching to improve flexibility (e.g., hamstrings, quadriceps, IT band), and strengthening exercises for the muscles supporting the knee (quadriceps, hamstrings, glutes) to improve stability and alignment.
Manual Therapy: Hands-on techniques (joint mobilization, soft tissue release) to improve knee joint movement, reduce muscle tension, and address soft tissue restrictions.
Gait Retraining & Proprioceptive Exercises: To improve walking patterns, balance, and the knee's awareness in space, crucial for preventing re-injury and enhancing stability.
Functional Training: Gradual return to activity-specific movements, sports-specific rehabilitation.
Advanced Pain Relief Therapies:
Therapeutic Massage: To release muscle tension in the thigh and calf, which can impact knee pain.
Hot/Cold Therapy: For immediate pain relief and reducing inflammation.
Electrotherapy: Such as TENS (Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation) or interferential current (IFC) for pain modulation.
Wet Needling: Our specialized technique targeting myofascial trigger points (muscle knots) in the muscles around the knee and thigh to quickly release tension and alleviate referred pain.
Medication Management (in collaboration with your physician): Guidance on appropriate use of anti-inflammatories, muscle relaxants, or pain relievers if required, focusing on short-term relief as part of a broader recovery plan.
Referral for Injections (If Indicated): For severe inflammation (e.g., bursitis, tendinitis, osteoarthritis), a referral for corticosteroid, hyaluronic acid, or PRP injections may be discussed and coordinated with a specialist.
Weight Management Guidance:
Crucial for reducing mechanical stress on the knees, especially with osteoarthritis. We can integrate sustainable Weight Management strategies into your plan if applicable.
Lifestyle & Activity Modification:
Advice on choosing low-impact exercises, proper footwear, and bracing/taping if appropriate for support during activities.
Guidance on modifying activities that aggravate pain.
Long-Term Prevention & Maintenance:
Developing a home exercise program to maintain knee strength, flexibility, and alignment.
Education on self-care techniques and activity progression to prevent future episodes.
Significant Pain Reduction: Alleviate chronic aches, acute pain from injuries, and pain with movement.
Improved Mobility & Range of Motion: Regain your ability to bend, straighten, walk, and climb stairs with greater ease.
Restored Strength & Stability: Enhance your knee's functional capabilities for daily tasks and activities.
Enhanced Daily Comfort: Perform work, chores, and leisure activities without debilitating knee pain.
Reduced Reliance on Pain Medication: Achieve lasting relief through targeted therapies.
Prevention of Recurrence: Learn tools and habits to keep pain from returning.
