Our team offers options to help ease knee discomfort.
At the end of a busy day, a favourite chair is a comforting sight. However, if knee pain is keeping you from finishing what you planned, it may be time to explore your options. We help people who are tired of working around a sore knee and want to know what might help.
Sometimes the reason for the pain is clear, such as an injury during a game or a diagnosis of osteoarthritis. In other cases, you might not know why your knee has started to hurt. At York Foot Orthotics and Bracing, we’ll listen to your concerns and assess your lower limbs to better understand what’s going on.
Where do you go from there?
The answer depends on what we find. For some people, a knee brace can provide stability or help reduce pressure on a painful area. We offer custom-made braces and use hand measurements along with a digital cast of your knee to create a brace for you.
Your feet are part of the picture, too. If the way they move or bear weight is contributing to your knee pain, custom foot orthotics may be worth considering. We make orthotics in our on-site lab, and they fit inside your shoes to provide support as you go about your day.
You don’t need to know which option is right for you before you visit us. Bring your questions; tell us what you’ve been experiencing, and we’ll talk through our findings together.

When should I seek professional treatment for knee pain?
If your knee pain comes on suddenly after a fall or injury and doesn’t react to consistent rest, ice, and over-the-counter pain medications, we encourage you to pay us a visit. Our team can determine if there’s a fracture or other issue causing the knee pain and develop a tailored treatment plan from there. We also encourage you to seek professional care if your knee pain has worsened recently, has started impacting your daily routine, or is causing unusual swelling or stiffness.
What could be causing my knee pain?
Some patients who visit us have been dealing with chronic knee pain for years without having any clear answers about what could be causing the issue in the first place. Our careful, detail-oriented professionals can fully assess your knee to determine if there’s a misalignment, an untreated injury, or an underlying condition that you may not have known about to get to the root cause of the pain. Some of the most common causes of knee pain include damaged ligaments, degenerative diseases, muscle tears, fractures, or misaligned hips, knees, or ankles.
Why is it important to treat knee pain early?
Addressing knee pain promptly can offer several benefits, helping you return to your normal routine as quickly as possible. First, quick treatment can prevent the joints from experiencing further damage, which can even reduce the need for invasive surgeries later on. Second, getting professional care will speed up the recovery process and ensure you’re doing the right things to heal your body.
