Treatment begins with telling apart a knee that will improve with rest from a knee that needs its cause identified.
The knee is a weight-bearing joint that is under constant load, not only in daily life but also in repetitive activities such as walking, climbing stairs, and running. Most knee pain comes from temporary muscle or tendon problems, but in some cases the cause is damage to the cartilage, ligaments, or structures inside the joint.
In particular, even the same knee pain can have different causes depending on the situation in which it appears: knee pain after running, knee pain when going down stairs, or knee pain after hiking. Checking the location of the pain, how it changes with movement, and whether there is swelling or instability helps narrow down the cause.
Dr. Sang-beom Kim, Director of Goyang Team Doctor Orthopedic Clinic, has served as team physician for the Korean national basketball team and for professional basketball and soccer teams. Drawing on this experience, he evaluates not only the painful area but also movement and function from a sports medicine perspective to identify the cause of knee conditions and guide the treatment plan.
Goyang Team Doctor Orthopedic Clinic is a 2-minute walk from Exit 1 of Hwajeong Station (Vision Plaza, 3F) in Deokyang-gu, Goyang-si, making it easy to visit from Hwajeong, Haengsin, Neunggok, Wondang, and all across Deokyang-gu. Evening clinic hours run until 9 p.m. on Mondays and Thursdays, so you can be seen for knee pain after work.

The knee is a joint that bears repeated impact and body weight.
