DIAGNOSIS
Here at South Coast Sports Podiatry, we utilise state-of-the-art diagnostic equipment to determine the exact cause of sore knees. Our knowledge and rich experience enable us to recognise even some of the trickier conditions and define a treatment plan that we know will yield the best results.
During an in-person consultation, we will ask you questions about the pain you are experiencing, how much does it hurt, in what way, when did you first experience it, etc. The goal is to familiarise us with your medical history and day-to-day activities to determine as accurately as possible what condition we are dealing with.
During the exam, we will take a closer look at the sore knee joints, possibly put pressure on it to evaluate whether the issue is with ligaments, menisci, or tendons, and generally see how tender it feels. If need be, we may suggest an MRI, ultrasound or X-ray.
