Many people would rather start knee pain remedies without tablets, and for everyday knee aches there is a sensible order to try things in. This page puts it in one place and links to a full answer on each.
Knee pain remedies without tablets: what to know
- Move gently and often. Regular exercise is a simple first step for knee osteoarthritis, and a physiotherapist can set a plan.[2] See: exercises for stiff knees and is walking good for knee pain.
- Use cold or warmth the right way. Cold for fresh swelling, warmth for old stiffness.[4][5] See: heat or cold for knee pain.
- Take the load off. Supportive shoes, shorter standing spells, and a healthy weight.[1][2] See: knee pain and weight.
- Get a plan from a physiotherapist if it keeps coming back. See: physiotherapy for knee pain in Chennai.
- Know when it's not a home-remedy problem. Severe pain, swelling, locking or fever means see a doctor.[1] See: when to see a doctor.
A fair word on tablets
Some people need them, and a doctor should decide that, not a website or a device company. What we offer is a gentle, drug-free extra: a warm-air session at our centre, or a handheld device for home. We don't promise results, and it doesn't replace medical care.
