Common Causes of Knee Pain
Knee pain can arise from various factors, including:
1. Injuries
- Ligament Sprains or Tears: Common in sports injuries, such as ACL or MCL tears.
- Meniscus Tears: Damage to the cartilage that cushions the knee joint.
- Patellar Tendinitis: Inflammation of the tendon connecting the kneecap to the shinbone.
2. Overuse or Repetitive Strain
- Runner’s Knee: Pain caused by repetitive stress on the knee joint.
- Iliotibial Band Syndrome (ITBS): Tightness in the IT band leading to lateral knee pain.
3. Degenerative Conditions
- Osteoarthritis: Wear-and-tear damage to the cartilage in the knee joint.
- Rheumatoid Arthritis: An autoimmune condition causing joint inflammation.
4. Alignment Issues
- Misalignment in the hips, pelvis, or spine can place extra stress on the knees.
5. Poor Muscle Support
- Weak or imbalanced muscles around the knee can lead to instability and discomfort.
