After trying the Physiotherapy centers around Gurgaon, I finally came to Orthocure, highly recommended by a friend. I came to the center with the following joints having pain and movement restrictions. I would rate them on the pain scale of 0 to 10 as-

I was impressed with the professionalism of the staff. Dr. Meeta Nanda diagnosed the problems very accurately. She started with the treatments gradually increasing the intensity of each exercise. I was impressed with her knowledge of the subject which gave me the much required confidence. She conducted the exercises very methodically showing her personal commitment and interest.

Knee & Hip Pain
Knee joint is the main weight bearing joint of the body along with hips and ankle. It is a complex joint having freedom of bending and straightening with some degree of twisting and rotation. It is supported by muscles, ligaments, tendons, meniscus and joint capsule. You can develop knee pain at any point of your life if you don’t take care of it and the risk factors which increase the probability of you developing pain are excessive weight, lack of muscular strength and flexibility, faulty foot alignment and certain high impact sports and dance.
Now of we talk about pain around the knee joint, it can be caused by various reasons. To list a few are:
- Degenerative changes with age- like OA knee.
- Sports related injuries- like ligamental injuries, torn meniscus, bursitis, dislocation etc..
- Overuse injuries- like iliotibial band syndrome, chondromalacia patella bursitis, tendinitis etc.
- Misalignment- like faulty foot positioning etc.
What can be felt?

- Pain while walking.
- Pain during ascend or descend of stairs.
- Click or popping sound in knee movements.
- Knee feeling if giving way while walking.

How can it be prevented?

- Do balance strength and stability training exercises as been prescribed.
- If you have knee swelling do cold packs regularly till it settles.

How it can be prevented?
