What's Causing My Knee Pain?

Our board-certified orthopedic doctors and specialists can help you understand and treat your knee pain. Knee pain is widespread and can be caused by various factors, including:

  • New or aggravated knee injuries
  • Overuse or repetitive strain
  • Degenerative conditions
  • Patellar Tendonitis (Jumper's Knee)
  • Bursitis
  • Muscle imbalances or weaknesses
  • Poor biomechanics
  • Obesity
  • Rheumatoid arthritis
  • Osteoarthritis
  • Age

Serving the Lexington, KY community, Bluegrass Orthopedics can help diagnose and treat your knee pain. The longer your knee pain goes untreated, the higher your risk for surgery such as joint replacement. Get seen at our BGO Now Walk-in orthopedic clinic for an evaluation and treatment plan to maintain your knee health.

Orthopedic Knee Pain Diagnostics at Bluegrass Orthopaedics

Knee pain can significantly impact your mobility and quality of life. At Bluegrass Orthopaedics, our team is committed to pinpointing the exact cause of your discomfort so we can develop a personalized treatment plan. Here's what you can expect during a diagnostic visit:

We'll discuss your medical background, including past injuries, surgeries, and any existing medical conditions that could contribute to your knee pain. Our specialists will perform a meticulous physical exam of your knee, assessing swelling, tenderness, range of motion, stability, and any visible abnormalities.

Depending on certain factors, like when the pain started or if it was precipitated by an injury like a fall or sports injury, your orthopedic specialist may order imaging like X-rays, MRI scans, or CT scans to visualize internal structures like bones, cartilage, ligaments, tendons, and soft tissues. These tests help identify potential issues such as fractures, arthritis, ligament tears, or cartilage damage.

Our friendly and proficient staff and comprehensive on-site imaging services (MRI, X-ray, and Ultrasound) streamline the diagnostic process. Our high-resolution MRI scanners ensure thorough evaluations for various knee concerns.

By combining these steps, we aim to provide a swift and accurate diagnosis, paving the way for a personalized treatment plan to get you back on your feet pain-free.

This was my first total knee replacement by Dr. Vasicek but certainly not my first visit. Each time that I have visited BGO I have been treated with the utmost respect and concern for my health and welfare. Dr. Vasicek and her associates perform at the highest of professionalism. As for my knee replacement, the surgery went exceptionally well as is the post surgery rehabilitation. I would recommend Dr. Vasicek to anyone requiring orthopedic help.

I prayed all spring and summer for god to lead someone across my path with the best of best doctor that was a godly man/woman for my knees ,I'm so thankful he answered my prayers, he was not only a Christian but he prayed for the patient and prayed for his staff that helped him during surgery. I called and got right in to see Dr Christian Christensen ...I loved him, trusted him, loved his staff and three days later he partially replaced one of my knees !! I would highly recommend this wonderful doctor
