A patient with knee pain being examined by a doctor

A number of health conditions can either cause or worsen pain around the knee joint, including a recent or previously unhealed injury, tendonitis, arthritis, and other inflammatory disorders.

While minor knee-related issues often heal on their own, other instances of knee pain can persist, making it difficult to walk, run, or even put weight on the affected limb. If resting a painful knee, or using over-the-counter pain medication does not effectively reduce the pain you’re experiencing, it’s time to visit a doctor.

At Swift Health, our dedicated team of medical professionals can evaluate the source of a patient’s knee pain, diagnose conditions, and prescribe the best possible treatment options.

We understand that each of our patients is unique, and as such, we do not treat every case of knee pain the same way. Depending on several factors, including the patient’s current health, medical history, and diagnosis, a variety of treatments can be applied to reduce pain, swelling, and inflammation of the knee joint.

In many situations, one or more of the following solutions can be effective in reducing knee pain and encouraging proper healing.

  • Resting the affected limb
  • Hot and cold therapy with warm/cold compresses
  • Anti-inflammatory medication
  • Massage therapy
  • Pain relievers
  • Gentle physiotherapy
  • Joint compression

For knee pain conditions that do not seem to improve with time and treatment, Swift Health’s medical professionals will evaluate patients for more advanced treatment options. We strive to provide the best possible care for patients suffering from knee pain, and as such, we will take every possible measure to provide relief.

Knee pain can greatly interfere with an individual’s mobility, and by extension, their ability to perform activities of daily life. Our team understands that our patients have busy lives to take part in, and suffering from knee pain should not be an acceptable occurrence to contend with.

If you’ve recently started experiencing knee pain, or you’ve been battling long-term pain in your knee joint, we welcome you to contact Swift Health today to book an appointment with our medical team. We strive to provide exceptional care for residents in and around the College Park, GA area and we can’t wait to welcome you to our clinic.

I was in and out with my toddler. Friendly and knowledgeable staff. Much better than going to the emergency room

Oh my goodness! The staff here were amazing and accommodated us for an unexpected walk up test we needed. Such great service at the end of a long day. Thank you!

Our primary doctor's office closed early today so we decided to go to this urgent care. The staff was very professional and personal with us. My son asked if we could change our provider to this location (which means he was comfortable here) but I was informed by the staff member that they have a provider in Morrow. We will be using their doctor soon as our primary provider. The doctor was great with explaining the issue and electronically sending the prescription to our pharmacy of choice. I will be back if I ever need an urgent care facility.
