Knee Pain

Knee pain is a common issue that can result from a sudden injury, repetitive strain, or an underlying condition like arthritis. The specific cause determines the most effective treatment approach.

Suffering From Knee Pain?

Knee pain is one of the most common joint complaints and can stem from a wide range of causes. Getting an accurate diagnosis is key to finding lasting relief. Once the source of pain is identified, treatment can be tailored to help restore mobility, reduce inflammation, and support healing. Some of the most frequent causes of knee pain include:

  • Arthritis – One of the leading causes of chronic knee pain, often due to wear and tear or inflammation in the joint. Various treatment options are available to help manage symptoms and improve function.
  • Ligament Injuries – Common during sports or physical activity, these injuries can cause pain and joint instability. Examples include ACL, PCL, and MCL injuries.
  • Cartilage Injuries / Meniscal Tear – Tears in the cartilage are common at any age and often result from twisting or impact injuries.
  • Patellar Tendonitis – Inflammation of the tendon at the front of the knee, typically caused by overuse or repetitive strain.
  • Chondromalacia Patella – Softening of the cartilage beneath the kneecap, often affecting younger individuals between 15 and 35 years old.
  • Dislocating Kneecap – A kneecap that moves out of position can cause both sudden pain and long-term discomfort.
  • Baker’s Cyst – Swelling at the back of the knee, often linked to another joint issue such as a meniscus tear or arthritis.
  • Bursitis – Inflammation of the bursa near the knee, most common in individuals who kneel frequently, such as gardeners or floor installers.
  • Plica Syndrome – A less common source of knee pain, typically diagnosed through imaging or arthroscopy.
  • Osgood-Schlatter Disease – A condition in adolescents caused by irritation near the growth plate at the front of the knee.
  • Osteochondritis Dissecans – A developmental condition in adolescents that affects bone growth around the knee joint.
  • Gout – Though uncommon, gout can cause sudden and severe knee pain in those with elevated uric acid levels.
