Knee Services We Provide

Why Do My Knees Hurt?
Your knees work hard for you every day. They carry your weight, help you move with ease, and keep you steady with every step, bend, and turn.
It’s a complex joint made up of bones, cartilage, ligaments, tendons, and menisci, working together to give you stability and support.
When even one part is strained or worn down, it may lead to pain or stiffness. Some of the common causes of knee pain may include:
- Arthritis: Wear-and-tear or inflammation in the joint.
- Ligament injuries: ACL or MCL tears.
- Meniscus tears: Damage to the cartilage that cushions your knee.
- Osteochondritis dissecans: A condition affecting cartilage and underlying bone; Tendonitis or bursitis: Inflammation in the soft tissues, including knee synovitis, which involves inflammation of the joint lining.
- Tendonitis or bursitis: Inflammation in the soft tissues, including knee synovitis, which involves inflammation of the joint lining. Other causes of stiffness and pain include knee arthrofibrosis, where scar tissue restricts movement, often developing after surgery or injury.
- Patellar instability: When the kneecap slips or shifts out of place
Other causes may include fractures or old injuries that never fully healed, or pain that radiates to the hip or back.
When Should I See a Knee Doctor?
Knee pain isn’t always something you should brush off as “just an ache.”
Sometimes, it’s your body’s way of telling you that something needs attention.
You may want to see a knee specialist if you notice:
- Pain that lasts longer than two weeks
- Swelling or stiffness that doesn’t go away
- Difficulty walking, climbing stairs, or bending your knee
- Feeling like your knee may give out or is unsteady
- Pain after a fall, twist, or sudden injury
- Grinding, popping, or clicking sensations inside the joint
- Pain when putting weight on your leg
If any of these sound familiar, don’t try to push through the discomfort. Dr. Pamela Mehta can help you identify the cause of your pain and guide you toward the right treatment.

Knee Conditions We Treat
ACL Tear
Have you ever felt your knee give way after a sudden twist or jump? That instability might be an ACL tear.
This injury can make even simple movements feel unsteady. Dr. Mehta uses advanced reconstruction techniques to restore stability and guide you toward full recovery.
Meniscus Tear
The meniscus cushions and supports your knee, but a tear can make bending, squatting, or walking painful.
Using minimally invasive procedures, Dr. Mehta repairs the damage, restoring movement and stability.
Knee Osteoarthritis
Arthritis gradually wears down the cartilage that protects your knee, making daily activities, like climbing stairs or standing for long periods, painful.
Dr. Mehta offers a treatment plan that may include physical therapy, targeted injections, or knee replacement in more advanced cases to relieve pain and help you move comfortably again.
Patellar Conditions
Your kneecap plays an important role in running, jumping, and climbing. When it’s misaligned or inflamed, these movements can become difficult.
Dr. Mehta offers conservative treatments and targeted injections to restore your natural, balanced movement.
Move Easier, feel better, and live fully.
Let’s get you back to doing what you love most.
