In most cases, a Baker’s cyst is nothing to fear. It usually forms when problems in the knee joint (a meniscus tear, inflammation or excess fluid) cause joint fluid to collect at the back of the knee. In other words, it is often one of the compensatory mechanisms the body creates to protect the joint.
1Treatment components
- Physiotherapy
- Osteopathy
- Restoring joint biomechanics
- Reducing pain and inflammation
- Prolotherapy
With the right approach, a positive outcome without surgery is possible in many cases.
