Common Causes of Knee Pain

We treat a wide range of knee conditions, including:

  1. Osteoarthritis – Degeneration of knee cartilage causing stiffness, swelling, and pain.
  2. Meniscus Tears – Injury to the knee’s shock-absorbing cartilage causing pain and limited movement.
  3. Bursitis – Inflammation of the fluid-filled sacs (bursae) around the knee.
  4. Ligament Injuries – Damage to ACL, MCL, LCL, or PCL ligaments resulting in instability and pain.
  5. Tendinitis & Tendinopathy – Tendon inflammation or degeneration from overuse or injury.
  6. Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome (Runner’s Knee) – Pain from improper kneecap movement due to misalignment or muscle imbalance.
  7. Iliotibial (IT) Band Syndrome – Tightness and inflammation on the outer knee from overuse or biomechanical issues.
  8. Chondromalacia Patella – Softening of cartilage under the kneecap causing pain and swelling.
  9. Knee Instability – Weakness or injury that causes the knee to feel unstable or “give out.”

Understanding the Knee Joint

The knee is a complex hinge-type joint composed of:

  • Bones: Femur (thigh), tibia (shin), patella (kneecap), and fibula.
  • Cartilage: Menisci act as shock absorbers; smooth cartilage lines the bones.
  • Ligaments: ACL, PCL, MCL, and LCL provide stability.
  • Muscles & Tendons: Quadriceps, hamstrings, and calf muscles support movement.

Causes of Knee Pain Beyond the Knee

Knee pain may be influenced by issues in other parts of your body:

Foot Problems: Flat feet (overpronation) or high arches (supination) can misalign the legs, contributing to:

  • Medial knee ligament or meniscus strain
  • Osteoarthritis
  • Patellofemoral pain and IT band syndrome

Pelvic Misalignment: Uneven pelvis or tilts can change leg length, causing muscle imbalances and extra knee stress.

Poor Posture: Prolonged sitting or anterior pelvic tilt weakens hip and glute muscles, leading to knee strain.

Visceral Causes: Sometimes knee pain is referred from organs like the kidneys or reproductive system due to shared nerve pathways.

Circulatory Problems: Conditions like PAD (peripheral arterial disease) or DVT (deep vein thrombosis) affect blood flow and can cause swelling, cramping, or leg pain.

Why Your Knee Needs Expert Care

The knee supports your entire body during walking, running, jumping, and other activities. Proper alignment, mobility, and strength are essential to prevent injury and reduce pain.
