The knee joint is the largest joint in the body. It is responsible for much of the lower body’s movement, and is comprised of various tissues, ligaments, and tendons. Because of this, the knee is highly susceptible to many injuries from repetitive stress. In addition, multiple muscles are connected to our knees, and can cause pain to radiate from another area.
Some people are more likely to develop knee problems than others. Many jobs, sports, and recreational activities can increase your chances of having problems with your knees. Your risk is also greater as you get older.
A few common knee injuries include:
These foam roller exercises, combined with the bridge and calf stretch, can help alleviate nagging knee pain. By treating the problem at the source, Airrosti can address pain quickly, often in an average of three visits (based on patient-reported outcomes).

Knee pain can result from direct injury, overuse, muscle tightness, or other underlying conditions. Direct injuries often occur from a blow to the knee, twisting, bending, or falling. Overuse injuries arise from repetitive activities like stair climbing, cycling, jogging, or jumping, which stress the knee’s tissues.
Muscle tightness in areas such as the adductors, hip flexors, quadriceps, and hamstrings can also contribute to knee pain by altering how the knee absorbs impact during movement.
Other common causes include Baker cysts (fluid buildup behind the knee), rheumatoid arthritis, knee dislocation, torn meniscus, or ligament damage.
At times, the location of knee pain may be an indicator of what injury or condition may be affecting you:
Although the causes may be different, most often they share the same symptoms, including:
• Pain, swelling, or bruising may be severe and develop within minutes of the injury.
• The severity of the pain can vary, from a minor ache to a severe disabling pain.
• Knee pain can be localized, such as in the front of your knee, or diffuse throughout the knee, depending on which structure is involved.
• You may experience trouble walking, limping due to discomfort, or locking of the knee joint.
• The pain can vary depending on what bones of the knee are involved, such as the knee joint (femur, tibia, fibula), the kneecap (patella), or the ligaments and cartilage (meniscus) of the knee.
• Other problems can develop due to overcompensating for knee pain and favoring one leg over the other.
Surgery is not always necessary for knee pain. Many cases of knee pain can be effectively managed with conservative treatments such as physical therapy, Airrosti care, medication, and lifestyle modifications. However, surgery may be recommended for certain conditions such as severe ligament tears or advanced osteoarthritis that do not respond to conservative treatments.
It’s generally safe to take medications for knee pain, but it’s important to use them as directed by your healthcare provider. Over-the-counter pain relievers such as ibuprofen or acetaminophen can help reduce inflammation and alleviate discomfort. However, if you have any underlying health conditions or are taking other medications, it’s important to consult with your doctor before starting any new medication regimen. Additionally, prescription medications such as corticosteroid injections or viscosupplementation may be recommended for more severe cases of knee pain under the supervision of a healthcare professional.
Yes, there are several self-care techniques and exercises that can help relieve knee pain. These may include gentle stretching exercises to improve flexibility, strengthening exercises to stabilize the knee joint, and low-impact activities such as swimming or cycling to maintain mobility and reduce stress on the knee. Additionally, applying ice or heat to the affected area, foam rolling or other versions of self-myofascial release, and maintaining a healthy weight can also help alleviate knee pain.
While it’s important to avoid activities that exacerbate knee pain, completely restricting all activity may not be necessary. In many cases, modifying activities to reduce strain on the knee joint and incorporating rest breaks can help alleviate symptoms. Low-impact exercises such as swimming or walking, as well as activities that strengthen the muscles around the knee, can be beneficial for managing knee pain. However, if knee pain persists or worsens with activity, it’s important to consult with a healthcare professional for proper evaluation and guidance on activity modification.
Dr. Garza was treating me for knee pain and he was great! I recommend anyone who experiences pain especially, muscles related pain seek Airrosti for help.

I had been experiencing extreme knee pain for several years and feared I would have to live with this pain indefinitely. Fortunately, I was treated by Dr. Andrea Gardner, and over the course of three visits, combined with at-home physical therapy, where I followed the exercise/therapy videos, resolved not only my pain but enabled me to hike without pain! My knee pain would especially hurt on the way down the mountain but after therapy, it no longer hurts!!! I wouldn't have believed healing this knee pain was possible but I am so thankful I gave Dr. Gardner a try. I will admit the physical therapy was extremely painful, but over time the pain went away. Do yourself a favor and give physical therapy a try, it may just change your life.

Dr. Wilborn helped me get my knee back to tip-top shape. I was having some nagging knee pain from day to day use. Dr. Wilborn was encouraging and easy to talk to and we came to a solution relatively quickly. Super grateful!

I limped into see Dr. Raabe with my right knee hurting. I walked out of there. Each time I saw him, he found a new pressure point that continued to release the pain surrounding my knee. This was my third experience with Airrosti and I am very impressed. I also feel confident in being able to continue to strengthen my knee thanks to the physical therapy exercises he taught me. I highly recommend Dr. Raabe. With no drugs, no surgery, and in a short amount of time I have my physical health back! What a gift!

I put up with moderate pain in my left knee for years- I put off going to Airrosti for it because I thought I knew what they'd tell me - and I was already using a foam roller, lacrosse ball, etc... but eventually I went and Dr. Kirk was able to identify precisely what I need to work on in a single visit. Following her guidance I'm able to squat without pain again. Thank you!

Our daughter Sophia is a multi sport athlete and has been treated with Dr. Siragusa for multiple sprains of the knee and shoulder. Treatments were targeted to specific area she had a speedy recovery every time. Dr checked in on her every time and made sure she was recovering well. Facility and appointments provided excellent medical and physical care/ treatments. We will definitely be taking out daughter back when needed. Thank you for all you do!

I’ve been suffering with slight knee pain for over a year and had no idea what was causing the issue, particularly when I tried to perform lunges. I finally decided to seek out a professional and received a referral from my PCP to Airrosti. Dr. Garza changed my life with his treatments + rehab exercises. I’ve only had a few visits with him and each visit my pain lessened, my exercise form got better and I was finally able to perform lunges without any pain. I’m not sure I would have received such amazing results had I chosen a different physician and I’m beyond excited to start my new journey with a knee that is pain free from tendinitis. Thank you Dr. Garza and Airrosti for giving me my full mobility and life back.

Came in with pain in my knee when I exercise and after only one appointment Dr. Tong was able to locate the issue and resolve it quickly. She is extremely knowledgeable and a pleasure to work with. This was the best decision I’ve made to attend in person.

This was our first experience with Airrosti and it was very successful. Dr. Patel is wonderful to work with and I highly recommend her. She assessed my daughters knee injury, treated it in the office and gave her at home PT to do on her own. After the first treatment, there was significant improvement which allowed her to safely return to play and she is now playing pain free. We greatly appreciated Dr. Patel's thorough communication as she explained what Airrosti is, what to expect, the diagnosis, treatment and follow up. Airrosti will be the first place I go for any future issues.

I have chronic back pain after tearing my ACL, MCL and meniscus on my right knee, and stage 4, level 4 endometriosis (which I've had 2 surgeries for), and 2 c-sections. Dr. Garza helped me out after only 4 treatments. There were two exercises that have been absolutely life-changing for me that I notice help every time I feel things pulling and out of sync. There are no silver bullets, ensure you do your 15 minutes of exercises, but they make a world of a difference. Thank you Dr. Garza! I never realized until now that something so small would have made such a difference all these years...
