Is Physiotherapy The Right Treatment For Knee Joints Pain?
Hello Doctor, My mother is suffering from knee joint pain because of gap in knee joints. She consulted Orthopedic doctor. They have given medicines and asked to use hot water bottle at home. My question is : Do you think physiotherapy would be better ? Is there any type of knee caps or legging which will be pain reliever and give her support in walking and climbing stairs. Thanks a lot !
Hello I have studied your case. Yes physiotherapy like ten and matrix may help her. Knee exercises will help to strengthen muscles. hinged knee brace will help to unload joint. Cartilage protecting medication like chondritin sulphate will help. I hope I have answered your questions. If you have further questions please feel free to contact us. I will be happy to answer.
