Knee Pain Treatment Near Brainerd

Your knees have helped you stride forward through life since you could crawl, so it’s no wonder so many people experience knee pain in adulthood.
Whether the result of an injury or a symptom of deeper medical conditions, Baxter Medical Center can accurately assess and treat your knee pain. Even those suffering from bone-on-bone knee pain can find relief.

What To Expect
You should seek care for any type of knee pain. Even knee pain that comes and goes is a sign that something is not right. The sooner knee pain is diagnosed and treated, the easier it is to heal. Whether you have mild pain, or chronic and severe pain that impacts your quality of life, you should be evaluated by one of our knee pain experts. If you can't bear weight on your knee, have noticeable swelling, can't fully extend or flex your knee, or have other symptoms such as a fever or inflammation around the knee, seek medical care with our office.
During your initial consultation, your provider performs a thorough physical exam, reviews your medical history, and asks about the specific knee pain you experience. Depending on the nature of your problem, your doctor might also ask you to stand up, sit down, and walk around the exam room to observe your gait and posture. If these measures don’t provide adequate information, your doctor could order diagnostic imaging like a digital X-ray, arthrogram, or ultrasound. These procedures take images of your bones, joints, and soft tissue, which can provide further insights for treatment.
After your visit for knee pain treatment near Brainerd, your next steps depend on the care you required. If follow-up visits are needed, your provider will help you schedule those and explain what to expect.
