What They Say About Us
About the Knee
Our experienced healthcare professionals can accurately diagnose the source of your pain and create a treatment plan that is customized to your unique needs. We have offices situated across Central Ohio to conveniently help you address your discomfort.
Individuals who experience knee pain may notice several different symptoms. The most common symptom is a dull, aching pain that worsens with activity or when bearing weight on the affected knee. Other common symptoms include:
- Stiffness and decreased range of motion in the affected knee
- Swelling and tenderness around the joint
- Warmth and redness in the area
- Weakness or instability in the knee
- Clicking, popping, snapping, catching, or knee locking up
If you are experiencing knee pain, it is vital to see a specialist to determine the cause. You should see a specialist immediately if the pain is severe or persistent. Additionally, if the pain is accompanied by swelling, redness, or warmth in the joint, you should also seek urgent medical attention.
Common Problems
Knee Pain
Knee pain is the second most common type of chronic pain in the United States. It may be the result of an injury, such as a ligament or cartilage tear, or from a medical condition such as arthritis.
Symptoms that are sometimes associated with knee pain include:
- Stiffness and swelling
- Weakness and instability
- Popping or grinding
- Difficulty fully straightening the knee
Knee pain can be minor and respond well to self-care such as RICE (Rest, Ice, Compression, Elevation).
MCL & PCL Injuries
You love playing sports! You have managed to have minimal injuries. That is, until recently.
You went to catch a football and landed hard…on your knee. You know something is wrong. You may have a torn ligament, or more particularly, your MCL or PCL.
Our specialists in the Greater Columbus area have helped many to make a full recovery from knee ligament injuries. Contact An OrthoAlliance partner practice to get your knee accessed today.
Locked Knees
A locked knee can be an occasional, temporary occurrence or a chronic condition that leaves you unable to bend or straighten your knee for long periods.
Knees are designed to bend up and down, and even slightly rotate. If your knee cannot perform these functions, it can impact your mobility and affect your ability to sit, stand, squat and kneel properly.
A true locked knee happens when your knee joint is literally locked into place and cannot move, whereas a pseudo locked knee occurs when moving the knee becomes difficult as a result of pain.

Knee Arthritis
Knee arthritis is a degenerative joint disease in which the cartilage that cushions your bones wears down. Unfortunately, this can result in knee pain, stiffness, swelling, and inflammation.
If you have knee joint arthritis, it is common to notice that everyday activities, such as walking or climbing stairs, become more challenging.
While there is no cure for arthritis, several effective treatment options and techniques are available to help you manage pain and remain healthy and active.
Patellar Instability
The patella (kneecap) attaches to the femur (thigh bone) and tibia (shin bone) via the quadriceps and patellar tendon. It sits in the trochlear groove in the knee and slides up and down as the knee bends and straightens.
Patella instability is most often seen in children and occurs when the patella does not stay within the groove in the knee and seems to slide in and out of position.
