What is Knee Pain?

Knee pain is a common issue affecting people of all ages and activity levels. Whether it's a dull ache, sharp pain, or stiffness, knee discomfort can limit mobility and interfere with daily activities like walking, climbing stairs, or exercising. Since the knee is a complex joint that bears much of the body's weight, even minor issues can lead to significant pain and dysfunction if left unaddressed.

Why Does Knee Pain Happen?

Knee pain can stem from a variety of causes, including:

  • Osteoarthritis - Degeneration of cartilage in the knee joint that can lead to pain, swelling, and stiffness.
  • Tendonitis - Inflammation of the tendons, often due to overuse, can cause pain, especially during movement.
  • Ligament Injuries - Sprains or tears of the ligaments like the ACL, PCL, MCL, or LCL are common sports-related injuries.
  • Meniscus Tears - Damage to the meniscus (the knee's cushion) can result in pain, swelling, and difficulty moving the joint.
  • Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome - Often called "Runner's Knee," this condition causes pain around the kneecap due to misalignment or overuse.
  • Bursitis - Inflammation of the bursa (tiny fluid-filled sacs) can cause swelling and discomfort.
  • Muscle Imbalances & Poor Alignment - Weak or tight muscles around the knee and hips can lead to improper tracking and joint stress.
  • Referred Pain - Sometimes, knee pain is linked to issues in the hips, lower back, or feet, affecting how you move and load the knee joint.
