What Can a Knee Specialist in Phoenix Do for You?

If you suffer from joint, muscle, or long-term tendon pain, you may need to make an appointment with a knee specialist in Phoenix. A knee specialist, or an orthopaedic specialist, deals with issues of the musculoskeletal system. Feel free to give the experts at Angelo Mattalino, MD a call to schedule your consultation and get started.

What Does a Knee Specialist Treat?

Joint pain is a common issue that many people experience. People who don’t exercise enough can get joint pain. Your primary physician can recommend an orthopaedic specialist who deals with conditions of the knee. A knee specialist in Phoenix will most likely order X-rays or MRIs to get a better look at the damage. Knee specialists can provide a customized treatment plan for you.

Types of Knee Pain

Knees can swell and ache for a variety of reasons. Here are some of the most common causes:

Bursitis – this is caused by irritation and swelling of the bursa sack. The bursa sack is filled with fluid which protects and cushions the knee joint. There are several in each knee. Repetitive movement, or a fall, can irritate the bursa, causing swelling and pain.

Tendonitis – swelling of the tendons in the knee is often due to overuse. This is a common issue with athletes.

Osgood-Schlatter Disease – this is caused by irritation and overuse of the tendon in the knee.

Osteoarthritis – common in those over 60 years old, it can also appear in younger people.

Old injuries that flare up – for those who have injured their knees in the past, they can experience continuing pain.

Treatments for Knee Pain

Knee pain can appear for many reasons, and there is no single treatment. There are several options, however. In some instances, you will need surgery to alleviate the pain. If pain is a result of injury or from overuse, you may be told to rest your knee for a number of days or weeks. This may help the inflamed area return to normal, and your pain could go away.
