Knee Conditions We Treat at Our Clinic in Rhode Island

As a leading pain management center of Rhode Island, we understand that knee pain has many causes. We identify the source of your symptoms and recommend care tailored to your condition and goals.

Joint and Structural

Knee Joint Wear, Damage, and Degeneration

Conditions affecting the knee joint can involve cartilage, bones, joint surfaces, and other structures that help the knee move smoothly. Arthritis, previous injuries, repetitive stress, and age-related changes can all contribute to knee pain and reduced function.

You may notice stiffness, swelling, tenderness, clicking, or difficulty walking, bending, climbing stairs, exercising, or performing everyday activities.

Common conditions we treat:

  • Knee Arthritis and Osteoarthritis
  • Knee Joint Degeneration
  • Chronic Knee Joint Pain
  • Baker’s Cyst
  • Knee Stiffness and Reduced Mobility
  • Knee Pain Related to Previous Injuries
Meniscus and Soft Tissue

Meniscus, Tendon, and Bursa Conditions

The meniscus, tendons, muscles, and bursae surrounding the knee play important roles in cushioning, supporting, and controlling movement. Injuries or irritation in these tissues can develop after sports activities, sudden movements, repetitive use, or gradual wear.

Depending on the affected structure, symptoms may include localized pain, swelling, tenderness, weakness, stiffness, clicking, or discomfort with bending and weight-bearing.

Common conditions we treat:

  • Meniscus Tears
  • Patellar Tendinitis
  • Runner’s Knee
  • Prepatellar Bursitis
  • Tendon Injuries
  • Muscle Strains
  • Overuse-Related Knee Injuries
  • Sports-Related Knee Injuries
Ligament Related

Ligament Injuries, Knee Instability, and Weakness

The knee relies on several ligaments to provide stability during walking, running, turning, and other movements. A sprain, strain, partial injury, or previous trauma can affect these supporting structures and contribute to ongoing pain or instability.

Some patients may experience swelling, tenderness, weakness, difficulty changing direction, or a sensation that the knee may give way during activity.

Common conditions we treat:

  • Ligament Sprains and Strains
  • Partial Ligament Injuries
  • Knee Instability
  • Sports-Related Ligament Injuries
  • Chronic Ligament-Related Knee Pain
  • Knee Weakness After Injury
Post-Surgical

Knee Pain, Stiffness, and Discomfort After Surgery

Although knee surgery may address the source of a problem, some patients continue to experience pain, stiffness, weakness, or restricted movement during recovery. Persistent symptoms can have different causes and deserve an individualized evaluation.

At the Pain Center of Rhode Island, we review your symptoms, treatment history, and current level of function to determine whether non-surgical pain management, regenerative treatments, or physical rehabilitation may be appropriate for you.

Common conditions we treat:

  • Persistent Knee Pain After Surgery
  • Post-Surgical Knee Stiffness
  • Reduced Knee Mobility
  • Post-Surgical Weakness
  • Chronic Knee Discomfort
  • Ongoing Knee Pain During Rehabilitation
Chronic and Overuse

Long-Term and Activity-Related Knee Pain

Knee pain does not always come from a single injury. Repetitive movements, demanding physical activities, previous injuries, changes in joint function, and ongoing stress on the knee can contribute to persistent or recurring discomfort.

Our knee pain management approach looks at the factors contributing to your symptoms and considers ways to improve comfort, movement, and function while supporting your long-term recovery.

Common conditions we treat:

  • Chronic Knee Pain
  • Overuse-Related Knee Pain
  • Repetitive Strain Injuries
  • Activity-Related Knee Pain
  • Exercise-Related Knee Pain
  • Recurring Knee Pain
  • Persistent Knee Stiffness

“When I came to Dr. Cherubini I could barely walk. After having Stem Cell treatments, my knee pain vanished but my ligaments acted up (former dancer). Dr. Cherubini resolved all the problems and I am walking better now than a decade ago. The staff is knowledgeable and kind. I am so glad I found Dr. Cherubini.”
