It can be the result of an injury or caused by arthritis. Regardless of the reason for your knee pain, several non-surgical options are available to help relieve your pain and improve your quality of life.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe largest number of patients I see complain about their knees,\u201d says <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cooperhealth.org\/doctors\/david-gealt-do\">David Gealt, DO<\/a>, Assistant Director of Sports Medicine and an orthopaedic physician at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cooperhealth.org\/\">Cooper University Health Care<\/a>. \u201cMy goal is to relieve that pain and solve that problem before I see the patients on the operating table.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Gealt offers the following tips to manage pain and strengthen the knee and surrounding muscles.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Over-the-counter medications:<\/strong> Tylenol and over-the-counter anti-inflammatory medications, such as Advil and Aleve, are a good first line of treatment for non-chronic pain.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<ol start=\"2\">\n<li><strong>Topical analgesics\/hot and cold therapy: <\/strong>Over-the-counter items such as Bengay, capsaicin, and Mineral Ice also can offer relief. If the knee is swollen, cold therapy should be used for 10 to 15 minutes at a time, three times per day. If there is no swelling, then hot therapy can help. You can use a heating pad or patches, but don\u2019t use them for more than 10 to 20 minutes at a time. Remember to place a light towel between your skin and a heating pad or ice to decrease the potential for injury to your skin.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<ol start=\"3\">\n<li><strong>NSAIDs and COX-2 inhibitors:<\/strong> When over-the-counter treatments are ineffective, stronger non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and COX-2 medications, such as prescription-strength naproxen and celecoxib (Celebrex), might help. These drugs work to reduce inflammation instead of targeting just the pain.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<ol start=\"4\">\n<li><strong>Weight loss, if applicable: <\/strong>Weight loss may help decrease the stress on your knees, and improve your overall health and mobility.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<ol start=\"5\">\n<li><strong>Exercise or physical therapy:<\/strong> Physical therapy and low-impact exercise can help to keep joints mobile, surrounding muscles strong and supportive, and blood flow consistent. Physical therapy also can retrain your muscles to better support your knee and specific problem areas.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<ol start=\"6\">\n<li><strong>Activity modification: <\/strong>Avoid activities that may aggravate or reinjure your knee.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<ol start=\"7\">\n<li><strong>Support devices:<\/strong> Canes, walkers, or crutches can be used to reduce weight on your \u201cbad\u201d knee. Remember to have a qualified professional measure and train you on the proper use of this equipment.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<ol start=\"8\">\n<li><strong>Viscosupplementation (hyaluronic acid): <\/strong>Numerous brands (e.g., Euflexxa, Orthovisc, Supartz) of these injections are available, and patients may have different responses to each brand. The theory behind these injections is that the fluid injected acts as a lubricant that helps to reduce pain and increase mobility. Patients with mild to moderate arthritis tend to respond well to this treatment.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<ol start=\"9\">\n<li><strong>Cortisone injection:<\/strong> A cortisone injection may be beneficial when there is an acute flare-up, as it provides medication directly to the knee joint. These injections can provide relief for weeks or months depending on the severity of symptoms and arthritis. As arthritis progresses, cortisone injections may provide only short-term relief.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<ol start=\"10\">\n<li><strong>Regenerative medicine techniques: <\/strong>These treatments repair or \u201cregenerate\u201d human cells, tissues, or organs to restore function after an injury or after age-related wear and tear. \u201cOur goal is to use novel therapeutics to stimulate the body\u2019s innate healing properties and eliminate pain,\u201d Dr. Gealt says. \u201cAll treatments we use are FDA approved and safe for our patients.\u201d \u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.cooperhealth.org\/services\/cooper-regenerative-medicine-and-orthobiologics-program\">Click here<\/a> to learn more about these techniques.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>If these treatments don\u2019t provide significant relief, surgery may be the next best step to providing long-lasting relief and return to full mobility.. Cooper orthopaedic surgeons offer options to address your specific concern.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDepending on your personal situation, we can offer knee arthroscopy if your pain is from a meniscus tear. We also perform partial, total, or custom knee replacements,\u201d Dr. Gealt adds. \u201cEach has its own advantages, and Cooper\u2019s team will help you make the right decision for your diagnosis, your goals, and your quality of life.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>For an appointment with a knee specialist at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cooperhealth.org\/services\/bone-and-joint-institute\">Cooper&#8217;s Bone and Joint Institute<\/a>, call <a href=\"tel:8008266737\">800.8.COOPER<\/a> (<a href=\"tel:8008266737\">800.826.6737<\/a>) <\/strong><strong>or use our <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/request.cooperhealth.org\/request.php?source=ehealth_blog\"><strong>online form<\/strong><\/a><strong>.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a name=\"espanol\"><\/a><br \/>\n&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>10 consejos no quir\u00fargicos para el dolor de rodilla<\/h2>\n<p>El dolor de rodilla es un s\u00edntoma com\u00fan que afecta a personas de todas las edades. Puede ser el resultado de una lesi\u00f3n o causado por la artritis. Independientemente del motivo de su dolor de rodilla, hay varias opciones no quir\u00fargicas disponibles para ayudar a aliviar su dolor y mejorar su calidad de vida.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLa mayor cantidad de pacientes que veo se quejan de sus rodillas\u201d, dice <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cooperhealth.org\/doctors\/david-gealt-do\">David Gealt, DO<\/a>, subdirector de medicina deportiva y m\u00e9dico ortop\u00e9dico en <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cooperhealth.org\/\">Cooper University Health Care<\/a>. \u201cMi objetivo es aliviar ese dolor y resolver ese problema antes de ver a los pacientes en la mesa de operaciones\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>El Dr. Gealt ofrece los siguientes consejos para controlar el dolor y fortalecer la rodilla y los m\u00fasculos circundantes.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Medicamentos de venta libre:<\/strong> Tylenol y los medicamentos antiinflamatorios de venta libre, como Advil y Aleve, son una buena primera l\u00ednea de tratamiento para el dolor no cr\u00f3nico.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<ol start=\"2\">\n<li><strong>Analg\u00e9sicos t\u00f3picos\/terapia de fr\u00edo y calor:<\/strong> Los art\u00edculos de venta libre como Bengay, capsaicina y Mineral Ice tambi\u00e9n pueden ofrecer alivio. Si la rodilla est\u00e1 hinchada, se debe usar terapia de fr\u00edo durante 10 a 15 minutos a la vez, tres veces al d\u00eda. Si no hay hinchaz\u00f3n, la terapia con calor puede ayudar. Puede usar una almohadilla t\u00e9rmica o parches, pero no los use por m\u00e1s de 10 a 20 minutos a la vez. Recuerde colocar una toalla ligera entre su piel y el producto para disminuir la posibilidad de quemaduras.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<ol start=\"3\">\n<li><strong>AINE e inhibidores de la COX-2:<\/strong> cuando los tratamientos de venta libre son ineficaces, los medicamentos antiinflamatorios no esteroideos (AINE) m\u00e1s fuertes y los medicamentos para la COX-2, como el naproxeno y el celecoxib (Celebrex) de venta con receta, podr\u00edan ayudar. Estos medicamentos funcionan para reducir la inflamaci\u00f3n en lugar de enfocarse solo en el dolor.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<ol start=\"4\">\n<li><strong>P\u00e9rdida de peso, si corresponde:<\/strong> la p\u00e9rdida de peso puede ayudar a disminuir el estr\u00e9s en las rodillas y mejorar su salud y movilidad en general.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<ol start=\"5\">\n<li><strong>Ejercicio o fisioterapia:<\/strong> la fisioterapia y\/o el ejercicio de bajo impacto pueden ayudar a mantener las articulaciones m\u00f3viles, los m\u00fasculos circundantes fuertes y firmes y el flujo sangu\u00edneo constante. La fisioterapia tambi\u00e9n puede volver a entrenar los m\u00fasculos para apoyar mejor la rodilla y las \u00e1reas problem\u00e1ticas espec\u00edficas.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<ol start=\"6\">\n<li><strong>Modificaci\u00f3n de actividades:<\/strong> evite actividades que puedan agravar o volver a lesionar su rodilla.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<ol start=\"7\">\n<li><strong>Dispositivos de asistencia:<\/strong> se pueden usar bastones, andadores o muletas para reducir el peso sobre la rodilla \u201cmala\u201d. Recuerde contar con una medida profesional calificada y capacitarlo en el uso adecuado de este equipo.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<ol start=\"8\">\n<li><strong>Viscosuplementaci\u00f3n (\u00e1cido hialur\u00f3nico):<\/strong> Numerosas marcas (por ejemplo, Euflexxa, Orthovisc, Supartz) de estas inyecciones est\u00e1n disponibles y los pacientes pueden tener diferentes respuestas a cada marca. La teor\u00eda detr\u00e1s de estas inyecciones es que el fluido inyectado act\u00faa como un lubricante que ayuda a reducir el dolor y aumentar la movilidad. Los pacientes con artritis de leve a moderada tienden a responder bien a este tratamiento.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<ol start=\"9\">\n<li><strong>Inyecci\u00f3n de cortisona:<\/strong> una inyecci\u00f3n de cortisona puede ser beneficiosa cuando hay un brote agudo, ya que proporciona medicamento directamente a la articulaci\u00f3n de la rodilla. Estas inyecciones pueden brindar alivio durante semanas o meses, seg\u00fan la gravedad de los s\u00edntomas y la artritis. A medida que avanza la artritis, las inyecciones de cortisona pueden proporcionar solo un alivio a corto plazo.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<ol start=\"10\">\n<li><strong>T\u00e9cnicas de medicina regenerativa:<\/strong> estos tratamientos reparan o \u201cregeneran\u201d c\u00e9lulas, tejidos u \u00f3rganos humanos para restaurar la funci\u00f3n despu\u00e9s de una lesi\u00f3n o despu\u00e9s del desgaste relacionado con la edad. \u201cNuestro objetivo es utilizar terapias novedosas para estimular las propiedades curativas innatas del cuerpo y eliminar el dolor\u201d, dice el Dr. Gealt. \u201cTodos los tratamientos que utilizamos est\u00e1n aprobados por la FDA y son seguros para nuestros pacientes\u201d. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cooperhealth.org\/services\/cooper-regenerative-medicine-and-orthobiologics-program\">Haga clic aqu\u00ed<\/a> para obtener m\u00e1s informaci\u00f3n sobre estas t\u00e9cnicas.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Si estos tratamientos no funcionan o si la evaluaci\u00f3n de su experiencia particular muestra que estos tratamientos no ofrecen beneficios, podr\u00eda ser el momento de una intervenci\u00f3n quir\u00fargica. Incluso entonces, tienes opciones en Cooper.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDependiendo de su situaci\u00f3n personal, podemos ofrecerle una artroscopia de rodilla si su dolor se debe a un desgarro de menisco.
