X-rays and MRIs
Knee pains can come from a number of things like arthritis, surgical issues, ACL issues, meniscus injuries and it can affect anyone from a high school athlete to a retired person. This pain can affect your exercise routine, running, and even picking up your children. X-Rays and MRIs help show you what’s going on internally, but rehab specialists help show you the things you can do to actually get better and heal from your knee pain. If you’re someone who’s had pain in your knees for years, physical therapy is going to be more helpful for you.
Why an X-Ray or MRI won’t help you if you have chronic knee pain:
It’s going to tell you something that you already know. Most of the time if you have long term pain, you most likely already know the cause of your pain so an X-Ray or MRI isn’t going to give you any new information, even if the pain has gotten worse.
X-rays or MRIs won’t provide any treatment plans.
Here’s what’s going to help you get back to living a pain-free life:
Connect with a rehab specialist for a Knee Pain Diagnostic, which is a full assessment of your knee. A rehab specialist be able to guide you to the right test for your pain. Using X-rays or MRI in addition to movement tests, you will be able to see what’s going on in your knee internally and get a personal treatment plan. This diagnostic will get you closer to the help you need to be fully healed at a much faster rate.
Why you need more than an X-ray or MRI:
Not everything is visible with X-rays or MRIs because you are standing still and not moving, but with a Knee Pain Diagnostic, a rehab specialist will be able to properly diagnose your pain and explain to you why it’s happening.
