What We Treat · Holmdel, NJ

Knee Pain Treatment

From runner’s knee to replacement rehab

Knees are the workhorses between your hips and ankles — and usually the messengers, not the culprits. Knee pain in adults typically traces to how load is distributed: weak hips, stiff ankles, training spikes, or arthritis being asked to do more than it’s currently conditioned for. All of it is treatable.

Knee problems we treat

  • Arthritis-related pain and stiffness
  • Runner’s knee (patellofemoral pain) and jumper’s knee
  • Meniscus tears — surgical and non-surgical
  • Ligament sprains and ACL rehab
  • Total knee replacement recovery
  • IT band syndrome

The hip–knee connection

The single most common finding behind stubborn knee pain is a hip that isn’t controlling the thigh. When the hip lets the knee drift inward with every step and stair, the kneecap and joint surfaces pay for it. That’s why effective knee rehab almost always includes serious hip work — and why braces and rest alone so often fail.

Common questions

Does a meniscus tear mean surgery?
Often not. For degenerative tears in adults, multiple large trials show structured exercise performs as well as arthroscopic surgery for most people. Acute locking or a truly stuck knee is a different conversation — we’ll tell you which you have.
Why do my knees hurt on stairs?
Stairs load the kneecap at several times body weight. Pain there usually reflects a capacity and control problem — very trainable with graded strengthening.
Can I still run?
Usually yes, with adjusted dosage while we rebuild capacity. Complete rest deconditions the very tissues that need to get stronger.
