Common Causes of Knee Pain

Knee pain can result from various conditions, each requiring a tailored treatment approach. Common causes of knee pain we address include:

• Osteoarthritis: A degenerative joint disease that causes cartilage breakdown, leading to pain, stiffness, and swelling.
• Meniscus Tears: Injuries to the meniscus cartilage, often caused by twisting or sudden movements, can result in pain and limited knee function.
• ACL Injuries: Tears or sprains of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) are common in sports and can cause instability and pain.
• Patellar Tendinitis: Inflammation of the tendons connecting the kneecap to the shinbone, often due to overuse or repetitive stress.
• Bursitis: Inflammation of the bursae (fluid-filled sacs) around the knee joint, leading to pain and swelling.
• Ligament Sprains: Injuries to the ligaments around the knee, such as the MCL or LCL, can cause pain and instability.
