Knee Pain

Knee pain is a common complaint that can arise from a variety of causes, affecting people of all ages and activity levels. It may result from injury, overuse, arthritis, or underlying conditions that impact the bones, cartilage, ligaments, or muscles surrounding the knee joint. Whether the pain is sudden and sharp or chronic and dull, it can limit mobility and interfere with daily activities such as walking, climbing stairs, or standing for long periods.

The knee is one of the largest and most complex joints in the body, bearing much of the body’s weight and allowing for a wide range of motion. Because of this, it is particularly susceptible to wear and tear, strain, and inflammation. Common causes of knee pain include ligament injuries, meniscus tears, tendonitis, bursitis, and degenerative conditions like osteoarthritis. Improper posture, muscle imbalances, and sedentary lifestyles can also contribute to discomfort and reduced function.

Knee pain can affect overall quality of life by limiting physical activity, causing stiffness, and sometimes leading to compensatory issues in other parts of the body, such as the hips or lower back. Early recognition of symptoms and addressing contributing factors are essential to prevent worsening and improve joint health.
