Treatment for knee pain depends on the cause and severity of the pain. Rest and applying ice can help reduce pain and alleviate swelling. If these measures are not sufficient, medication, physical therapy, injections, or surgery may be necessary under a doctor’s supervision.

First and foremost, maintaining a healthy weight is important. Excess weight increases the strain on the knees and sets the stage for discomfort.

Regular exercise strengthens the leg muscles and protects the knees, while warming up and cooling down before and after exercise reduces the risk of injury.

Wearing appropriate footwear is also beneficial for protecting the knees.

The decision to undergo surgical treatment depends on the severity of the problem and the response to non-surgical treatments. Surgery may be considered in cases of meniscus tears, cruciate ligament injuries, or advanced osteoarthritis.
