Physical Therapy for Knee Pain: Expert Care by Dr. Ranmit Singh in NYC
Knee pain can be incredibly frustrating, limiting your ability to walk, exercise, or even complete daily tasks. Whether you’re dealing with the aftermath of an injury, arthritis, or overuse, it can keep you from living life fully. At Physical Therapy Upper West Side in NYC, Dr. Ranmit Singh, a NY State Licensed Physical Therapist with over 10 years of experience, offers personalized, expert care to help you regain strength and mobility in your knee. He believes in getting to the root of the problem, ensuring long-term relief, not just temporary fixes.
Why Physical Therapy for Knee Pain?
If you’re living with knee pain, you’ve probably tried many things; rest, ice, over-the-counter pain meds; but still, the pain lingers. Physical therapy offers a more lasting solution. Unlike treatments that only mask the symptoms, physical therapy targets the underlying causes of knee pain, such as muscle weakness, joint misalignment, or inflammation.
Dr. Singh specializes in developing personalized strategies that are centered on each patient’s unique requirements. Whether you’re recovering from a sports injury, managing arthritis, or dealing with post-surgical discomfort, his hands-on approach helps relieve pain while preventing future issues. And because he works with most major insurance plans, it’s easier than ever for NYC residents to access top-tier care.
Common Causes of Knee Pain
Knee pain can result from a wide variety of causes, including:
- Arthritis: Osteoarthritis, especially in elderly persons, is a major source of persistent knee discomfort.
- Tendinitis: Overuse or repetitive movements can lead to inflammation in the knee tendons.
- Ligament Injuries: ACL tears and sprains are common in athletes, but they can happen to anyone.
- Meniscus Tears: This cartilage injury is often caused by twisting motions and is frequent in sports like basketball or tennis.
- Bursitis: Inflammation in the bursa (a fluid-filled sac that cushions the knee) can lead to pain and stiffness.
Dr. Singh conducts thorough evaluations to determine the exact cause of your knee pain, ensuring that treatment is tailored to your specific condition.
Effective Treatments for Knee Pain
At Physical Therapy Upper West Side, Dr. Singh uses a combination of proven techniques to help you get back to moving comfortably:
- Strengthening and Stretching Exercises: Building strength in the muscles around the knee; especially the quadriceps and hamstrings; can improve joint stability. Stretching helps maintain flexibility and reduces strain on the knee.
- Manual Therapy: Dr. Singh uses techniques such as soft tissue mobilization and joint manipulation to reduce pain, improve blood circulation and restore mobility.
- Posture and Gait Training: Poor walking patterns or posture can put unnecessary stress on your knees. Dr. Singh will work with you to correct these issues, promoting better movement habits.
- Kinesiology Taping: For added support, taping can help stabilize the knee during physical activity while reducing pain and swelling.
Education on Body Mechanics: Learn how to move in ways that protect your knees in everyday activities, from climbing stairs to lifting objects, reducing the risk of re-injury.
