What Are the Common Causes of Knee Pain?
Your knee is one of the hardest working joints in your body, in use when you are walking, running and even sitting. Most knee pain stems from injury, repetitive stress or motion, and wear and tear as you age. The common types of conditions that cause knee pain include:
Traumatic Injury
Usually in a sports-related accident, slip and fall, or motor vehicle collision
Aging
Which can lead to normal wear and tear of protective cartilage or other degenerative conditions
Repetitive Stress Injury
which can cause inflammation to muscles, ligaments, tendons or bursae
Arthritis
Most often in the form of osteoarthritis, a degenerative condition involving the gradual deterioration of the cartilage or meniscus
Pain after Knee Surgery
Persistent knee pain long after recovery from knee surgery may signal underlying issues like nerve irritation, joint instability, or scar tissue. We provide advanced treatments to identify the cause and relieve your pain.
What Types of Knee Pain Can We Help You Manage?
We provide pain management for knee pain that may stem from a number of causes, including::
Traumatic injury involving connective tissue
Torn, strained or sprained tendons, ligaments and muscles
Torn cartilage, also referred to as torn meniscus
Damage to the protective pads that serve as shock absorbers in your knee. The tear may be completely through the meniscus but is often simply a flap of the cartilage.
Arthritis
Including rheumatoid or osteoarthritis
Tendonitis or bursitis
Pinched Nerves
The peroneal nerve, which traverses the outside of the knee, can get impinged in a variety of ways, causing significant discomfort
