Why Do I Have Knee Pain?
Your knees are one of the strongest and most complex joints in your body. They have to endure a remarkable amount of strain, stress, and daily wear and tear.
Every step you take relies on your knees to support your entire body weight. Activities such as jogging, jumping, or climbing stairs amplify this load by up to 5x your body weight! If these joints are moving properly, they are designed to last for millions of steps.
Knee pain can arise from various sources, whether it's due to an accident, a recent or past injury, repetitive poor bio-mechanics, or even unknown factors. Regardless of the cause, it can lead to increased friction, perpetuating wear and tear on the knee. This inflammation and swelling can worsen over time, leading to knee arthritis and eventual breakdown of the joint.
The crucial first step is pinpointing why your knee is in pain by thoroughly evaluating its function and the extent of damage. This comprehensive assessment enables us to craft a tailored plan to effectively address and alleviate your discomfort with lasting results.
