Knee specialists in Canberra

Who treats knee pain?

Knee pain from injury, arthritis or wear is usually assessed first by your GP, often with an X-ray or scan and physiotherapy. If it does not settle, or surgery may be needed, your GP may refer you to an orthopaedic surgeon.

Start with your GP: they can assess you, arrange tests and write the referral you need for a Medicare rebate. General information only, not medical advice.
