How is knee pain diagnosed?

To diagnose knee pain, your Elite Spine and Health Center provider reviews your medical history and asks about your symptoms, including when they first started and if any activities like working out or sitting in a certain position make them worse.

Next, your provider conducts an exam. They gently press on your knee to find areas of swelling or tenderness and have you walk around the exam room to assess your gait and posture.

If these measures don’t provide enough information, your provider might also order X-rays, a CT scan, or an MRI. These diagnostic imaging procedures can rule out underlying issues like fractures, sprains, or inflamed tendons.
