KNEE PAIN

Care for sore knees from hiking, pickleball, golf and everyday life, in Carefree on the Cave Creek border. In most cases we can see you the same day.

WHAT CAUSES KNEE PAIN?

Knee pain has many causes, including strains, irritated tendons, worn cartilage from arthritis, and bursitis. Hiking downhill, quick moves on the pickleball court and long hours on your feet can all add strain. Most knee pain starts to ease within a few days, but pain that lasts more than a few weeks should be checked.

HOW WE HELP

Every visit starts with a conversation and a hands-on exam, and your first treatment usually happens the same day.

Exam firstWe check how your knee, hip and ankle move, and tell you plainly if you need imaging or a referral instead.
Therapeutic exercisesStrengthening for the muscles that support the knee and hip.
Soft tissue therapyHands-on work for tight thigh and calf muscles.
Joint mobilizationGentle, hands-on movement to improve knee motion.
Shockwave therapyRadial pressure waves for knee tendon pain, such as patellar tendinitis (jumper's knee), to help reduce pain and increase blood flow to the area. About 15 minutes a session, with no downtime. Self-pay.Learn more →
