The newly launched pain management program offers a tailored service to each patient as the team aim to improve the overall health and wellbeing of everyone they treat. They explain that chronic pain is most likely the result of a knee injury that has occurred over a long period of time and may lead to pain and swelling of the knee area.
Alternatively, it may be the result of an injury and only temporary, in which case it is likely correctable through rest and ice. Surgery may be necessary to repair tears or other serious injuries. This can include a meniscus knee tear, runners knee, or ligament injuries.
An injury to one of the four ligaments within the knee is often followed by severe pain, a popping sound when it occurred, extreme swelling, and the inability to put any weight on the affected leg. In most instances, surgery will be needed, but activity restrictions, braces, rest, and ice may also correct the problem over time.
Chronic knee pain rarely goes away by itself explain the team. They say common examples of this kind of pain include tendonitis or osteoarthritis. The latter is a common occurrence where the cartilage breaks down and the bones begin to rub together. As people age, the body experiences wear and tear including the joints, which can lead to painful chronic conditions.
A spokesperson said: “Dr Kaylea Boutwell Lenarz, MD, and the team at Katalyst have a different approach to pain management. They have the knowledge and experience to listen to their patients and develop a personalized pain management plan to help each person reach their goals.”
“Each treatment plan is customized to alleviate full-body pain or isolated areas,” they added.
