Knee Pain
Knee pain is one of the most common reasons people visit healthcare professionals, affecting millions of individuals worldwide. Whether due to injury, overuse, or aging, knee pain can significantly impact daily activities, work, and sports. It's no surprise that knee problems are among the leading causes of disability in adults, with an estimated cost of more than $10 billion in healthcare expenses annually in the US.
Several factors contribute to knee pain, including:
- Overuse or repetitive stress on the knee joint (e.g., long hours of walking or standing)
- Sports-related injuries, including ligament tears or meniscus damage
- Poor biomechanics and posture, leading to imbalances or improper movements
- Joint degeneration due to aging or wear-and-tear
- Obesity, which puts extra pressure on the knee joints
- Lack of flexibility or strength in surrounding muscles
Knee pain may be acute, from a specific injury, or chronic, caused by conditions like arthritis. Regardless of the cause, seeking the right treatment is key to relief and recovery. Our treatments focus on identifying and addressing the underlying cause, not just masking the symptoms. This approach helps speed up recovery and reduce the risk of further injury.
