Treatment Options for Knee

Here are some general tips from our Hinge Health therapists and doctors for managing mild to moderate knee pain:

  • Over-the-counter meds. Use painkillers like ibuprofen (Advil), naproxen (Aleve), or acetaminophen (Tylenol) safely. Always consult with your medical physician.

  • Ice and heat. Alternate between an ice pack and heating pad every 20 minutes to reduce swelling and ease stiffness.

  • Compression and Elevation, Wrapping your knee and elevating your leg above your heart level can help manage swelling.

  • Topical relievers. Apply creams or patches that deliver pain relief through the skin.

  • Exercise therapy. Try simple stretches and strengthening exercises to ease tightness and pain.

  • Complementary treatments. Explore massage, acupuncture, or chiropractic care for additional relief.
