Knee pain is common. In fact, if you haven’t experienced it already, you’ll probably need to seek medical attention for it at some point during your life. If that time is now, you are welcome to consult with a knee specialist at Premier Bone & Joint Centers in Casper, Wyoming. We diagnose and treat all types of knee conditions, offering the latest diagnostic and treatment options in a convenient and comfortable setting.

Why Is Knee Pain So Common?

A complex and hardworking joint, the knee connects the upper leg bone (femur) to the lower leg bones (tibia and fibula) through an intricate system of muscles, ligaments, and tendons. Because the knee endures a significant amount of stress—not only during athletic activities but also from daily wear and tear—it is prone to a variety of painful conditions.

You should see a knee specialist right away if you experience:

• Severe pain in your kneecap or behind your knee
• A popping or grinding sensation during movement
• A feeling that your knee is about to give out while you are walking, running, or jumping
• An inability to walk or otherwise move your knee without pain
• Swelling in your knee or calf

The Importance of Specialty Care

Whether your knee pain is caused by a traumatic injury such as a torn ligament, an overuse injury such as runner’s knee, or a degenerative condition such as osteoarthritis, the best way to find effective relief is to see a knee specialist. When not properly diagnosed and addressed early on, some knee conditions can worsen, cause severe pain and, in advanced cases, ultimately require surgical treatment, such as a knee replacement.

At Premier Bone & Joint Centers, we understand that knee pain can disrupt your life and make even simple, everyday tasks a challenge to complete. We are committed to providing personalized treatment; after assessing your condition, we can help you overcome your knee pain as quickly as possible.
