Pes Anserine Bursitis can cause pain and tenderness along the inside of the knee, making activities such as climbing stairs, squatting, running, or getting up from a chair uncomfortable. This condition develops when the pes anserine bursa becomes irritated, often as a result of repetitive stress, overuse, or movement-related factors affecting the knee.
The pes anserine bursa helps reduce friction between the tendons and bone on the inner side of the knee. When inflammation occurs, it may contribute to discomfort during daily activities, exercise, or sports participation, limiting mobility and overall function.
Patients throughout Memphis, Bartlett, Lakeland, Arlington, and nearby communities often seek conservative treatment options to help manage symptoms and stay active. E-Stim and Ultrasound Therapy are commonly incorporated into rehabilitation programs to help reduce discomfort, improve circulation, and support the body’s natural healing process during recovery from Pes Anserine Bursitis.

E-Stim may help individuals with bursitis by influencing pain signals, encouraging local blood flow, and reducing tension in nearby muscles. For those experiencing Pes Anserine Bursitis, E-Stim may help improve comfort during movement and complement other therapies aimed at restoring knee function.
Ultrasound Therapy may help support recovery from Pes Anserine Bursitis by delivering sound-wave energy into affected tissues. This treatment is often utilized to encourage circulation, assist tissue repair, and help reduce irritation around the inner knee as part of a broader rehabilitation strategy.
The most effective approach often involves addressing both the inflamed bursa and the factors contributing to excessive stress on the area. Treatment may include E-Stim, Ultrasound Therapy, flexibility training, strengthening exercises, activity modification, and interventions designed to improve lower-extremity mechanics and movement efficiency.
Ultrasound Therapy is commonly used in conservative care programs for bursitis because it may assist with tissue recovery and circulation. When combined with targeted rehabilitation, it may help improve mobility, reduce discomfort, and support a gradual return to daily activities.
Pes Anserine Bursitis rarely develops in isolation. Contributing factors such as restricted hamstring mobility, weakness in the hips, altered gait mechanics, training errors, or structural issues affecting the feet and knees can increase stress along the medial aspect of the knee. If these underlying issues remain unaddressed, symptoms may continue to recur even after inflammation decreases.
At Cole Pain Therapy Group, E-Stim and Ultrasound Therapy may be utilized to help calm irritated tissues, encourage circulation, and create a more favorable environment for recovery. Treatment plans are tailored to the individual and may include therapeutic exercise, mobility work, rehabilitation strategies, and other conservative interventions designed to improve lower-body function.
By addressing both symptoms and contributing movement-related factors, our goal is to help patients improve knee performance, move with greater ease, and participate in work, recreation, and everyday activities with increased confidence and less discomfort.
