Knee Pain

Knee pain is a common issue that can interfere with daily activities such as walking, climbing stairs, standing, or sitting. Symptoms may develop gradually or occur after an injury.

At Twin Creeks Orthopedics and Regenerative Clinic, we evaluate knee pain and guide appropriate nonsurgical care to help reduce pain and improve function. We regularly see patients from McKinney, Frisco, and surrounding North Texas communities seeking care for persistent knee pain.

Many patients seek care when symptoms persist despite rest, medications, or prior treatment.

Same-day appointments may be available for select conditions.

Do These Symptoms Sound Familiar?

• Pain with walking, standing, or climbing stairs

If so, an evaluation may help clarify the cause and next steps.

Common Causes of Knee Pain

Knee pain can develop gradually or occur after an injury. A thorough clinical evaluation helps identify the underlying cause and guides appropriate treatment planning. Common causes include:

• Knee arthritis, including degenerative joint changes
• Meniscus-related pain or injury
• Ligament or tendon irritation
• Overuse or repetitive stress
• Patellofemoral pain syndrome
• Swelling or stiffness after activity

When to Seek Care for Knee Pain

Early evaluation can help clarify the diagnosis and prevent long-term functional decline. You should consider scheduling an evaluation if you experience:

• Knee pain lasting several weeks
• Pain that limits walking, standing, or daily activity
• Persistent swelling or stiffness
• Weakness or instability in the knee
• Pain after a fall or injury
• Symptoms that do not improve with rest or home care

Treatment Options for Knee Pain

Treatment plans are individualized based on the cause of pain, severity of symptoms, and patient goals. Nonsurgical treatment options may include:

Conservative Management

• Activity modification and rest
• Guided rehabilitation exercises to improve strength, flexibility, and joint mechanics
• Bracing or supportive devices when appropriate
• Education on movement mechanics and symptom management

Procedural Support

• Targeted corticosteroid injections to reduce inflammation
• Ultrasound-guided injections for precision
• Joint aspiration if needed

Advanced Nonsurgical Options (Select Patients)

For some patients with persistent symptoms, regenerative therapies are considered after a thorough evaluation. These may include:

• Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP)
• Exosomes
• Prolotherapy or similar options when appropriate
