Knee pain is one of the most common musculoskeletal problems affecting athletes, runners and active adults. Whether caused by sport, exercise, arthritis or overuse, persistent knee pain can limit mobility, reduce performance and interfere with everyday activities.

At Pro Sports Medicine in Cardiff, our Knee Pain Clinic provides specialist assessment, imaging, advanced treatments and rehabilitation to accurately diagnose the cause of knee pain and deliver targeted treatment.

Our integrated approach combines sports medicine expertise, diagnostic imaging, regenerative treatments and expert rehabilitation to help you recover faster and return to the activities you enjoy.

Expert Diagnosis for Knee Pain

Accurate diagnosis is the key to successful treatment. Many patients struggle with knee pain for months because the underlying cause has not been clearly identified.

At Pro Sports Medicine, our clinicians use a combination of clinical expertise and advanced diagnostic tools to determine the precise cause of your symptoms.

Common knee conditions we treat include:

• Knee osteoarthritis

• Runner’s knee (patellofemoral pain)

• Patellar tendon pain (jumper’s knee)

• Meniscus irritation or tears

• Ligament injuries (ACL, MCL)

• Cartilage damage

• Tendinopathy around the knee

• Persistent knee pain following sport or exercise

Our goal is to provide a clear diagnosis and a structured treatment plan tailored to your injury and activity goals.

Advanced Imaging for Knee Pain

Our Knee Pain Clinic offers access to specialist imaging when required to improve diagnostic accuracy.

MRI Scanning for Knee Joint Injuries

MRI scans are particularly useful for diagnosing intra-articular knee problems, including:

• meniscus tears

• ligament injuries

• cartilage damage

• bone stress injuries

• joint inflammation

Where clinically appropriate, we can arrange rapid MRI referrals to assess knee joint structures and guide treatment decisions.

Diagnostic Ultrasound for Tendon Injuries

Ultrasound imaging allows our clinicians to assess tendons and soft tissues around the knee in real time.

Diagnostic ultrasound can identify problems such as:

• patellar tendon pain

• quadriceps tendon injury

• tendon degeneration

• soft tissue inflammation

This dynamic imaging technique helps guide treatment decisions and monitor recovery.

Shockwave Therapy for Knee Tendon Pain

Shockwave therapy is a highly effective treatment for chronic tendon pain around the knee, particularly:

• patellar tendinopathy (jumper’s knee)

• quadriceps tendon pain

• persistent tendon irritation

Shockwave therapy works by delivering targeted acoustic waves to stimulate tissue healing and improve blood flow.

Benefits may include:

• reduced pain

• improved tendon healing

• faster return to activity
  
  

Shockwave therapy is commonly used in sports medicine and elite athlete rehabilitation.

Regenerative Medicine for Knee Pain

At Pro Sports Medicine, we offer advanced regenerative medicine treatments designed to support the body’s natural healing processes.

These treatments are often used for:

• knee osteoarthritis

• persistent tendon pain

• cartilage irritation

• chronic knee injuries

Our regenerative treatments include:

PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) Injections

PRP injections use a small sample of your own blood which is processed to concentrate growth factors that support tissue healing.

PRP is widely used in sports medicine for conditions such as:

• knee arthritis

• patellar tendon injuries

• persistent knee pain
  
  

nStride® APS Injection Therapy

nStride is an advanced treatment designed specifically for knee osteoarthritis.

It concentrates anti-inflammatory proteins from your blood to help reduce joint inflammation and improve knee function.

This treatment may help patients seeking non-surgical options for knee arthritis.

Hyaluronic Acid Knee Injections

Hyaluronic acid injections can help improve joint lubrication and shock absorption within the knee joint.

They are commonly used for patients experiencing:

• knee stiffness

• early osteoarthritis

• activity-related joint pain.
  
  

Specialist Knee Rehabilitation

While injections and regenerative treatments can support healing, rehabilitation is essential for long-term recovery.

Our knee rehabilitation programmes focus on:

• strength restoration

• movement control

• biomechanical correction

• progressive return to sport

Rehabilitation may include:

• targeted physiotherapy

• strength and conditioning programmes

• return-to-running or return-to-sport protocols.

This comprehensive approach ensures that both tissue healing and movement mechanics are addressed.
