What Causes Knee Pain?

The proper treatment for knee pain is primarily determined by the cause of the condition. Our chiropractor will provide a thorough diagnosis of a patient's medical history and current health to understand the root cause of their knee pain. We can assess whether the knee pain is caused by an injury, mechanical problems, or arthritis. This will help us recommend the appropriate treatment plan customized to the patient's unique needs.

Injuries

Knee injuries affect ligaments, tendons, joints, fluid-filled bursae sacks around the joints, bones, or cartilage of the knee. Common injuries include fractures of the bones, torn meniscus, knee bursitis, tendinitis, and ACL injuries. ACL injuries are common in sports where the anterior cruciate ligament between your shin and thigh tears due to a sudden change in direction. Many of these injuries occur due to sporting activities like running, cycling, basketball, or other sports where jumping is prevalent.

Mechanical Problems

Sometimes knee pain is due to issues occurring in other areas of the body. Pain in the hips or feet can alter walking and lead to knee pain. Our chiropractor can determine if this is the case and treat both the source of the problem as well as the resulting knee pain. Patients also experience knee pain caused by the band of tissue that runs from your hip to your knee becoming tight. This is a common issue for distance runners.

Arthritis

There are many types of arthritis, but some are more common than others. The most common type is osteoarthritis, caused by deterioration of the cartilage in the knee, commonly caused by aging. Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune condition that can also occur. Gout happens due to the build-up of uric acid. Although gout is mainly known to affect the big toe, it can also affect the knee. Pseudogout can also occur due to calcium build-up in the joint fluid.
