Orthopedic Causes & Treatment for Knee Pain
The knee, the joint most often singled out for treatment by orthopedic specialists, accounts for approximately 11 million orthopedic physician visits. Because of its complicated orthopedic construction, the knee is especially vulnerable to injury. Knee pain can be caused by orthopedic conditions including:
-
Ligament injury or tears- orthopedic injuries caused by twisting or quickly changing direction, landing, quick stops and blows to the knee during contact sports
-
Torn cartilage-a tear in cartilage attached to the knee ligaments as a shock absorber
- Chondromalacia patellae-grinding in the knee due to softening of the knee cartilage or misalignment of the kneecap
Orthopedic Treatment and Prevention
Traditional conservative orthopedic treatment for mild knee pain includes:
-
RICE-Rest, Ice, Compression, Elevation
- Orthopedic support and orthopedic immobilization products specifically constructed for the knee
Medical Supplies & Equipment Company, LLC provides orthopedic knee support products that have been specifically designed to alleviate knee pain. Each orthopedic knee support was constructed for durability to protect the knee and to allow flexibility during orthopedic recovery. Specific orthopedic knee support products include:
-
Orthopedic patella straps apply consistent compression for minimal migration
-
Hinged orthopedic knee supports, lightweight and not bulky, provides medial and lateral stabilization
-
Flexible, compressive orthopedic knee supports for swollen, sprained, arthritic or post-operative knees
-
Low-profile, sports orthopedic knee supports protect against hyperextension
-
Neoprene orthopedic knee braces worn during healing and as an orthopedic preventative (wraps or pull-ons, with or without hinges)
-
Neoprene orthopedic thigh wraps provide compression to relieve or prevent quadriceps or hamstring strains (loop and hook or pull-on styles).
