Knee Pain Palma de Mallorca
Osteoarthritis, ligament injury, meniscus damage. DEXA, gait analysis. PRP, injections, physiotherapy. English-speaking orthopaedic specialist Dr. Diedrich.
Diagnosing knee pain requires a detailed clinical examination and specific tests. We assess ligament stability (anterior cruciate, posterior cruciate, collateral ligaments), meniscus integrity and cartilage condition.
We use ultrasound to visualise tendons and ligaments, and MRI when we suspect meniscus or cartilage injuries. Gait analysis with DIERS 4D allows us to identify biomechanical issues contributing to pain.
Our goal is to avoid surgery whenever possible. The majority of knee problems respond excellently to conservative treatments.
PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) has revolutionised the treatment of knee osteoarthritis and cartilage injuries. Growth factors stimulate natural tissue regeneration.
Cryotherapy at -110°C reduces inflammation and pain dramatically. It is especially effective for athletes who need rapid recovery.
Hyaluronic acid injections improve joint lubrication and reduce pain in osteoarthritis. Physiotherapy with quadriceps strengthening is fundamental for knee stability.
Knee Specialist in Palma de Mallorca
The knee is the most complex joint in the body and one of the most injury-prone. At our practice in Palma we treat everything from acute sports injuries to chronic osteoarthritis with a conservative approach that avoids surgery in the majority of cases.
Common Knee Conditions
- Meniscus injuries: Tears from trauma or degeneration
- Ligament injuries: ACL, PCL, collateral ligaments
- Knee osteoarthritis: Cartilage wear and degeneration
- Patellar tendinitis: Common in jumpers and runners
- Patellofemoral syndrome: Anterior knee pain
- Bursitis: Inflammation of synovial bursae
Sports Medicine for the Knee
As a sports medicine specialist, Dr. Diedrich frequently treats knee injuries in cyclists and runners. Biomechanical analysis is key to preventing recurrence.
PRP: Cartilage Regeneration
PRP is particularly effective for early-stage knee osteoarthritis. We inject concentrated growth factors directly into the joint, stimulating cartilage regeneration and reducing inflammation.
Cryotherapy for Athletes
Whole-body cryotherapy is an exceptional tool for inflamed knees. It reduces pain and accelerates recovery after intense training or competition.
Minimally Invasive Arthroscopy
When surgery is necessary, arthroscopy allows repair of menisci and ligaments through minimal incisions. Recovery is far quicker than with open surgery.
