What we check
Clear assessment before treatment decisions.
Knee pain can come from injury, ligament or cartilage irritation, arthritis, gout, infection, tendon problems or other causes. A clinic visit helps narrow down what is happening and what to do next.
Injury and instability
Twisting injuries, sports strain, painful clicking, locking, giving way or difficulty walking.
Stiffness and arthritis symptoms
Morning stiffness, pain with stairs, long-standing aches or flare-ups affecting daily activities.
Treatment options
Knee care matched to your condition.
There is no one-size-fits-all treatment for knee pain. We begin with a doctor assessment, then recommend suitable care based on your symptoms, examination, medical history and daily activities.
Medical Assessment & Diagnosis
A doctor will assess your pain pattern, knee movement, swelling, stability and injury history before recommending treatment.
Who it may suit
New or recurring pain, swelling, stiffness, clicking, instability or difficulty walking.
Pain & Inflammation Management
Depending on the diagnosis, care may include suitable pain relief, topical treatment, activity modification and practical advice for flare-ups.
Who it may suit
Mild to moderate pain, overuse injuries, arthritis symptoms or discomfort during daily activities.
Exercise & Rehabilitation Plan
Home exercise guidance or referral to physiotherapy may help improve strength, movement, balance and confidence.
Who it may suit
Stiffness, muscle weakness, reduced mobility, recurring pain or recovery after a minor injury.
Weight & Lifestyle Support
Where appropriate, the doctor may discuss gradual weight management, suitable physical activity and daily habits that reduce stress on the knee.
Who it may suit
People with arthritis-related knee symptoms who are also living with overweight or obesity.
Knee Injection Assessment
For selected patients, the doctor may discuss whether an injection is appropriate, including its expected short-term benefits, limitations and possible risks.
Who it may suit
Selected adults with persistent arthritis-related pain when initial options are unsuitable or insufficient.
X-ray & Specialist Referral
Your doctor may recommend an X-ray, physiotherapy or orthopaedic assessment based on the clinical findings and branch availability.
Who it may suit
Significant injury, locking, repeated giving way, recurring swelling or symptoms that are not improving.
Real-time diagnostic imaging
Knee Ultrasound Assessment
Musculoskeletal ultrasound uses sound waves to examine soft tissues and fluid around the knee in real time. When clinically appropriate, it may help assess tendons, selected ligaments, bursae, cysts and joint effusion without ionising radiation.
Who it may suit
Persistent swelling, suspected joint fluid or a Baker's cyst, tendon-related pain or a superficial soft-tissue concern.
Good to know: All treatment is subject to a doctor assessment. Procedures, imaging and referral arrangements may vary by branch.
Care pathway
A practical plan from first visit to follow-up.
The goal is to understand your symptoms, support pain control where suitable and decide whether you need observation, follow-up, imaging elsewhere, physiotherapy or specialist referral.

Seek help sooner
Some knee symptoms should not wait.
Get urgent medical advice if knee pain is very severe, the knee is badly swollen or deformed, you cannot move it, or you cannot put weight on it.
Seek prompt review if the knee is hot, red or very painful with fever or feeling unwell, as infection needs timely assessment.
After major injury, sudden large swelling, numbness, repeated falls or a locked knee should be checked quickly.
