Understanding why knee pain gets worse at night

Many people struggle to rest at night due to knee pain. This is because cortisol — your stress and anti-inflammatory hormone — naturally decreases at night, leaving your joints more prone to painful inflammation. Additionally, lack of movement causes joints to become stiff.

Contact us for an appointment today to talk through strategies and treatment options to help you get your sleep back.

A slipped (“herniated”) disc happens when the gel-like cushions between the bones in your spine get pushed out. This can be very painful if it presses on local nerves. This injury typically resolves itself over time with rest, gentle exercise, and over-the-counter painkillers.

If you think you have a slipped disc, contact us for an appointment with one of our back specialists.
