Knee Pain in Fort Collins, Colorado

Learn more about our Knee Pain services

Our knees are critical to an active, healthy life – think about all they allow you to do. They allow for running, hiking, skiing, squatting, picking up kids, walking the dogs; all the things we enjoy here in Fort Collins.

The moment you feel the first twinge of pain, you have two options: ignore it or get it checked out. At Square ONE, we’re here to tell you that getting it checked out is the first step in dealing with it.

Knee pain is incredibly common – more than 46% of adults will deal with it at some point in their lives. As we get older, it becomes more common – and we see it more in women than men. The leading cause of knee pain is osteoarthritis – and that can lead to physical disability and impact your quality of life (that’s right – less skiing, hiking, and walking). Fortunately, those living with knee pain in Fort Collins have an ally when it comes to knee pain treatment: Square ONE.

Common Causes of Knee Pain

If you enjoy an active life, there’s a chance you’ve put your knees through the ringer. In addition to osteoarthritis, there’s a handful of causes for knee pain. This includes:

• Misalignment of the knee
• Prior ligament or meniscus tear
• Being overweight (high BMI)
• Repetitive activities
• Anatomical short leg
• Chronic inflammation
• Weak knee muscles

While some of these are out of your control, what is in your control is getting help for knee pain.

Treatment for Knee Pain

When it comes to potential treatments for knee pain in Fort Collins, we’ve got you covered.

At Square ONE, we believe the most important factor is to find the correct treatment for what’s causing your knee pain.

The National Institute for Clinical Excellence (NICE) recommends that treatment for knee pain and osteoarthritis should take a holistic approach. This includes patient education and nonpharmacological treatment. This could include exercise, weight loss, shoe insoles, and (in some cases) knee braces.

Before you go under the knife and get a total knee replacement, conservative methods should be exhausted.

At Square ONE your knee pain treatment options include:

• Using an unloading brace (such as this one) for knee pain caused misalignments and osteoarthritis
• Performing rehabilitative and therapeutic exercises to increase joint range of motion, strength, and stability
• Increasing lubrication by using Hyaluronic Acid injections
• Administering Human Cellular Tissue Products (HCT/P), Signature Cord, which is derived from Wharton’s Jelly and is intended to be used as a cushioning agent form homologous supplementation
• Doing chiropractic adjustments
• Encouraging medical weight loss for overweight individuals
