Knee pain and injury treatment Essex & East London

While some of these problems may require surgery, the key is to get a good objective diagnosis and to educate yourself on the issue. Specific strengthening programmes alongside some manual therapy has good evidence-based results. Arthritis can also cause issues with this large weight-bearing joint, along with other longer-term problems. While these are often treated with anti-inflammatory medications, injections and painkillers, the better option often is to begin a dedicated programme of strength work to address the weaknesses that may have developed. There are also options to be referred for surgery, when indicated.

Tendon issues, such as tendinopathy require a good, tailored programme of loading. Education around this condition is key. Tendon issues can often take a while to resolve and so the use of our rehab gym to continue your rehab outside of your scheduled treatment sessions is a big attraction at the clinic.

Adolescents, especially the sporty ones, often suffer from knee pain as they grow and develop, and a good early diagnosis and some advice around exercise / relative rest / treatment options are important. Conditions such as Osgood-Schlatters and Sinding-Larsen-Johansson are common pathologies that we see in teens, which do require advice and specific rehabilitation.

As a sports injury clinic, we see a huge number of knee injuries that have been caused by a range of different sporting activities, and we’re well versed at the different treatments that can be used to rehabilitate them.

At the Lewin Sports Injury Clinic, we provide a range of recovery programmes, taking you through different healing phases until your knee is back to full strength. This can be particularly useful for professional athletes who need to get back to sport quickly and safely, or for those with more severe injuries who need a very structured plan. Occasionally the injury will need scanning to aid diagnosis and occasionally we may need the view of a specialist surgeon who can advise as to whether surgery may be a necessary step in your recovery process.
