Understanding the Causes of Knee Pain
It’s important to recognize that knee pain is not always isolated to the knee joint itself. The knee relies on the proper functioning of the hip and ankle joints to function optimally. In some cases, your knee pain may be a result of impairments in these neighboring joints.
However, certain conditions and injuries specifically affect the knee. Our skilled chiropractors are experienced in identifying the underlying causes of knee pain. Here are some common knee pain culprits we address:
- Osteoarthritis: The most prevalent type of arthritis causing knee pain is osteoarthritis (OA). It occurs when the cartilage surrounding the joints deteriorates, leading to inflammation, stiffness, and reduced mobility.
- Cartilage Injuries: Trauma or repetitive movements can lead to cartilage injuries in the knee. These injuries can cause pain, inflammation, and impaired joint function.
- Ligament Injuries: Sudden stops, twists, or direct blows to the knee can result in ligament injuries, causing pain and instability.
- Tendinitis: Repetitive movements, particularly in sports like jumping, skiing, or cycling, can cause inflammation of the tendons surrounding the knee, leading to tendinitis.
- Knee Bursitis: Bursae, fluid-filled sacs that cushion body tissues, can become inflamed due to injury, overuse, or pressure, resulting in knee pain.
- Patellar Dislocation: This condition occurs when the kneecap slides out of place, often due to sudden changes in direction or twisting of the knee.
At River Ridge Chiropractic, we conduct a thorough evaluation to determine the cause of your knee pain and provide evidence-based chiropractic treatments for effective pain relief.
