“Knee pain” isn’t a diagnosis—it can result from osteoarthritis, tendon problems, previous injuries, repetitive loading, altered mechanics, or dysfunction elsewhere in the kinetic chain. The way the foot, ankle, hip, and pelvis move can also change the forces traveling through the knee, which is why it’s important to determine what structures are actually involved.
For appropriate chronic knee conditions, including osteoarthritis and certain tendon-related problems, **Focused Shockwave Therapy can be an important part of care.** Focused acoustic energy is delivered directly to the involved tissue to stimulate biological processes associated with circulation, tissue repair, and remodeling. We may also address mechanical restrictions or dysfunction of the knee, hip, pelvis, or surrounding joints when they are contributing to abnormal loading.
