Pain in the knee can arise from various factors such as disease, overuse, or injury. Around 25% of American adults have encountered knee discomfort affecting their knee’s functionality. Conditions related to the knee are widespread, particularly among runners, where the knee is the most frequently injured body part. As individuals age, changes in the knee, including osteoarthritis, become more prevalent, especially in those over 50. The cumulative stress from years of steps, squats, and twists can lead to alterations in knee cartilage and other structures.
Knee pain may range from mild to intense, sometimes presenting as a sharp sensation. Injuries to the knee can result from a direct impact or a sudden motion that pushes the knee beyond its usual range of motion. This discomfort can impede activities like walking, standing up from a chair, going up stairs, or participating in sports. Physical therapists have the expertise to diagnose and address knee pain, working towards alleviating your discomfort and restoring mobility.
