Physio for Knee Pain

Common Causes of Knee Pain

Knee pain can arise from a variety of factors, including injuries, overuse, and age-related conditions, making it essential to identify the common causes to effectively manage and treat the discomfort.

  • Muscle Strain: Overexertion or improper lifting techniques can lead to muscle strains around the knee, causing pain and limiting movement.

  • Arthritis: Conditions like osteoarthritis can result in inflammation and degeneration of the joint, leading to chronic knee pain.

  • Ligament Injuries: Injuries to the ligaments, such as ACL tears, are common in sports and can cause sudden and severe knee pain.

  • Tendonitis: Inflammation of the tendons around the knee, often due to repetitive motion or overuse, can lead to discomfort and stiffness.

  • Bursitis: Inflammation of the bursae (small fluid-filled sacs) in the knee can cause swelling and pain, often resulting from prolonged kneeling or repetitive activities.

Recognising these common causes is crucial for developing an effective treatment plan at MEND RX.
