Knee Pain in Tenby, Pembrokeshire

Knee pain can affect people of all ages, from athletes with tendon or ligament injuries to older adults with arthritis or age-related joint changes. 

At Tenby Health we focus on identifying the cause of your knee pain before recommending treatment.

We take an assessment-led approach. 

Every appointment begins with understanding your symptoms and identifying the most likely cause of your pain.  

Depending on your symptoms, this may involve a detailed clinical assessment, diagnostic ultrasound where appropriate, and a clear explanation of your diagnosis and treatment options.

• Pain at the front, side or back of the knee
• Pain on stairs or hills
• Swelling around the knee
• Stiffness after rest
• Sports-related knee injuries
• Gradually worsening knee pain
• Knee pain after a fall or impact

Patellar tendinopathy

Irritation of the tendon below the kneecap, common in athletes and active individuals.

Knee osteoarthritis

Age-related joint changes causing pain, stiffness and reduced movement.

Bursitis

Inflammation of the fluid-filled sacs around the knee joint.

Patellofemoral pain

Pain around or behind the kneecap, often related to movement patterns and muscle imbalances.

Meniscal problems

Irritation or injury to the cartilage discs inside the knee joint.

Ligament injuries

Sprains or tears to the ligaments supporting the knee.

IT band syndrome

Pain on the outer knee, particularly common in runners.

Your assessment includes a detailed case history and physical examination. Diagnostic musculoskeletal ultrasound can be used to assess:

• Tendons
• Ligaments
• Bursa
• Joint effusions
• Soft tissue injuries

Not everyone with knee pain needs an ultrasound. If imaging is likely to provide useful diagnostic information, we can usually perform it during your appointment.

Depending on findings, treatment may include:

• Rehabilitation exercise targeting knee strength and movement patterns
• Focused shockwave therapy for tendon conditions
• Chiropractic care and manual therapy
• Education and activity modification
• Referral for imaging or specialist opinion where needed

• Diagnosis-led care - we focus on understanding the cause of your pain before recommending treatment. Where appropriate, diagnostic musculoskeletal ultrasound can be used to provide additional detail.
