What Causes Knee Pain?

Knee pain can result from a variety of factors, frequently tied to overuse, injury, or underlying health conditions. Common causes include:

  • Sudden Stops or Changes in Direction: Rapid pivots or abrupt halts, often seen in running or sports, can strain the knee joint and lead to injury.
  • Improper Landing or Movements: Landing awkwardly during activities like jumping can put excessive pressure on the knee, potentially damaging surrounding structures.
  • Direct Impact: A blow to the knee from a fall, collision, or accident can cause bruising, inflammation, or damage to ligaments, tendons, or cartilage.
  • Overuse or Repetitive Strain: Repeated activities, such as running or cycling, may lead to overuse injuries like tendinitis or bursitis that manifest as knee pain.
  • Arthritis or Degenerative Conditions: Conditions such as osteoarthritis, which slowly wear away the cartilage, can cause chronic pain and stiffness.

Understanding these causes is crucial for effective prevention, management, and treatment of knee pain.
