Knee Pain

The knee joint is a complex weight bearing joint which is a common source of pain. Knee pain can arise from ligament instability, muscle strain or spasm, cartilage degeneration, or traumatic injury. Accurate knee assessment is crucial to a proper treatment regimen. This will include orthopedic tests and functional testing not only of the knee but also of the ankle and hip joints.

Altered biomechanics of the ankle, knee and/or hip is the usual culprit. Collapsed arches of the feet, internal rotation of the knee or hip, muscle weakness or imbalance such as iliotibial band syndrome, and valgus/varus angle changes in the knee results in joint misalignment and joint weakness. Such altered biomechanics results in accelerated joint degeneration and serious pain.

X-ray and MRI imaging may also help in proper diagnosis and treatment. Come in for the proper assessment and treatment of your joint problems.

  • At 77 years of age, having lived a very active life as an architect and property developer, I was told by my neurologists and orthopedic surgeon that my chronic lower back and leg pains (bulging disc) complicated by my imbalance and incontinence at this point could only be treated with surgery and/or heavy pain medications. Neither were acceptable options to me. My daughter had heard through the media that spinal decompression was accomplishing outstanding success in treating these problems.

    A new hope was born when I met with Dr. Peter Huynh and he reviewed my MRI. He assured me this non-invasive treatment could be of significant help to me. I now stand taller, my balance has improved, I have more energy and he was able to correct my posture and gait. Now, as I leave 8 weeks of inspirational treatment by a most talented and considerate doctor and friend, I’m going home to finish the leaf raking, and home maintenance that have been neglected for years.

    Thank you Dr. Peter for giving my life back to me.
