Understanding knee pain
Knee pain is a common issue that can affect people of all ages, from athletes through to those with long term joint conditions. Knee pain can result from injury, wear and tear, or underlying medical conditions. If left untreated, knee pain can limit movement, making everyday activities like walking, climbing stairs, or even standing for long periods challenging.
At our physiotherapy clinic in Bramhall, Cheshire, we provide expert assessment and treatment for knee pain, to help you recover and regain mobility.
Common causes of knee pain
Knee pain can arise from various factors, including:
- Injuries: Ligament sprains, meniscus tears, and fractures from sports or accidents
- Osteoarthritis: Age-related joint degeneration leading to stiffness and discomfort
- Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome: Common in runners and those who sit for prolonged periods
- Tendonitis: Inflammation of the tendons due to overuse
- Bursitis: Swelling of fluid-filled sacs in the knee from repetitive movement or pressure
Types of knee pain
The location and type of pain can help us understand the cause. For example:
- Sharp pain is often linked to ligament injuries or cartilage damage
- Aching pain is common in osteoarthritis or chronic conditions
- Swelling and stiffness indicates inflammation from injury or arthritis
- Clicking or locking may suggest a meniscus tear or joint instability
