Knee Pain Treatment - Shockwave - How to fix your chronic knee pain!

Dr. Steve Knighton goes over the tried and true knee pain treatment he performs at the clinic. Whether its tight quads or hamstrings, a damaged meniscus, patello-femoral syndrome or even the a poplitues strain, Dr. Steve can get you moving and feeling better.

Dr. Steve goes over the treatment protocol for knee pain. He sees these types of injuries on all kinds of patients, but mostly in cyclists and runners.

Treatment usually includes IFC, Shockwave, Heat and some Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue work or scraping.

IFC and heat- At the clinic Dr. Steve will heat your injured knee to increase blood flow during treatment. IFC at our Oakville clinic is a electric stimulation device that is applied with suction vacuums that helps relieve pain in the affected area. It increases blood flow and overall relaxes the muscle around the knee.

Shockwave Therapy for the knee- Shockwave is a pneumatic gun that hits a bullet through an applicator onto the affected area. The shockwave unit is usually adjusted between 1.2 and 2.5 BAR and the area around the knee is "hit" between 800-1200 hit on the injured side or injured ares. In the link below there is a more in depth explanation of Shockwave treatment.

ART and soft tissue work- Dr. Steve will then do some deep tissue work as well as some soft tissue work using his scraper tool or Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Instrument. This helps to release tension in the muscles. Dr. Steve also feels for any nodules in the tissue. It will also help to loosen any tension or pain you have in the area. We are not going to lie to you, this sucks, but well worth the pain!

After your treatment with Doctor Steve, he will recommend icing and stretching your injury when you get home. Below is the link to a video on how to properly ice your injury and or arm after treatment.
