Causes of knee-complaints<\/h3>\n

[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ disabled_on=”off|off|off” _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” animation_style=”slide” animation_direction=”bottom” animation_intensity_slide=”10%” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text module_class=”p-page” _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”||||false|false” custom_padding=”||||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n

Knee pain can have many different causes. It may occur suddenly after an injury such as a fall, twist or sports accident, or develop gradually due to overuse and repetitive strain. In other cases, knee complaints are related to movement patterns, muscle imbalances, alignment issues or underlying conditions such as osteoarthritis. Sometimes the pain felt in the knee does not originate from the knee itself, but is referred from the hip or lower back. A proper assessment is essential to identify the exact cause and determine the most effective treatment.<\/span><\/p>\n

Acute Knee Injuries and Sports Trauma<\/b><\/h4>\n

Acute knee injuries occur after a sudden and identifiable incident, such as during sports, a misstep or a fall.<\/p>\n

Common examples include:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • Ligament injuries (e.g. ACL tears) \u2013 often caused by twisting or direct impact.<\/li>\n
  • Meniscus tears \u2013 usually the result of rotation while the foot is fixed.<\/li>\n
  • Knee fractures \u2013 most commonly involving the kneecap.<\/li>\n
  • Patellar dislocation \u2013 when the kneecap moves out of its normal position.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    These injuries typically cause immediate pain, swelling, instability and difficulty walking or bearing weight.<\/p>\n

    [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_5″ disabled_on=”off|off|off” _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” animation_direction=”bottom” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” header_font_size=”51px” header_4_font_size=”32px” width_tablet=”60%” width_phone=”” width_last_edited=”on|tablet” custom_margin=”||||false|false” custom_padding=”||||false|false” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n

    Overuse and Repetitive Knee Strain<\/b><\/h4>\n

    Overuse-related knee pain develops gradually due to repeated loading of the knee structures.<\/p>\n

    Common overuse conditions include:<\/p>\n

      \n
    • Tendinopathy, such as jumper\u2019s knee.<\/li>\n
    • Bursitis \u2013 inflammation of a cushioning sac around the knee.<\/li>\n
    • Iliotibial (IT) band syndrome \u2013 pain on the outer side of the knee.<\/li>\n
    • Patellofemoral pain syndrome (PFPS) \u2013 pain around or behind the kneecap.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      These complaints are frequently seen in runners, cyclists, gym users and people with repetitive movements at work.<\/p>\n

      [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_5″ disabled_on=”off|off|off” _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” animation_direction=”bottom” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” header_font_size=”51px” header_4_font_size=”32px” width_tablet=”60%” width_phone=”” width_last_edited=”on|tablet” custom_margin=”||||false|false” custom_padding=”||||false|false” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n

      Biomechanical and Alignment-Related Knee Pain<\/b><\/h4>\n

      In many cases, knee pain is influenced by the way the body moves or how the legs are aligned, leading to increased stress on the knee joint over time.<\/p>\n

      Examples include:<\/p>\n

        \n
      • Alignment issues, such as knock-knees or bow-legs.<\/li>\n
      • Patellar tracking problems, where the kneecap does not glide smoothly.<\/li>\n
      • Muscle imbalances, for example weak hip or core muscles.<\/li>\n
      • Foot mechanics, such as flat feet or high arches affecting load distribution.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

        Correcting these movement patterns is often essential for long-term relief of knee pain.<\/p>\n

        [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_5″ disabled_on=”off|off|off” _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” animation_direction=”bottom” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” header_font_size=”51px” header_4_font_size=”32px” width_tablet=”60%” width_phone=”” width_last_edited=”on|tablet” custom_margin=”||||false|false” custom_padding=”||||false|false” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n

        Degenerative and Medical Knee Conditions<\/b><\/h4>\n

        Some knee complaints are related to joint degeneration or underlying medical conditions.<\/p>\n

        Common examples include:<\/p>\n

          \n
        • Knee osteoarthritis \u2013 gradual wear of joint cartilage.<\/li>\n
        • Rheumatoid arthritis \u2013 an inflammatory joint condition.<\/li>\n
        • Gout or joint infection \u2013 caused by crystal deposits or infection inside the joint.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

          Management often involves a combination of medical care and structured physiotherapy.<\/p>\n

          [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_5″ disabled_on=”off|off|off” _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” animation_direction=”bottom” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” header_font_size=”51px” header_4_font_size=”32px” width_tablet=”60%” width_phone=”” width_last_edited=”on|tablet” custom_margin=”||||false|false” custom_padding=”||||false|false” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n

          Referred Pain Felt in the Knee<\/b><\/h4>\n

          Not all knee pain originates from the knee itself. In some cases, pain is referred from another area.<\/p>\n

          A common example:<\/p>\n

            \n
          • Pain originating from the hip or lower back, but mainly felt in the knee.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

            A thorough physiotherapy assessment is essential to identify the true source of the symptoms.<\/p>\n

            Acute knee injuries occur after a sudden and identifiable incident, such as during sports, a misstep or a fall.<\/p>\n

            Common examples include:<\/p>\n

              \n
            • Ligament injuries (e.g. ACL tears) \u2013 often caused by twisting or direct impact.<\/li>\n
            • Meniscus tears \u2013 usually the result of rotation while the foot is fixed.<\/li>\n
            • Knee fractures \u2013 most commonly involving the kneecap.<\/li>\n
            • Patellar dislocation \u2013 when the kneecap moves out of its normal position.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

              These injuries typically cause immediate pain, swelling, instability and difficulty walking or bearing weight.<\/p>\n

              [\/dsm_card_carousel_child][dsm_card_carousel_child title=”Overuse and Repetitive Knee Strain” image_as_background=”off” image_width=”20%” button_url_new_window=”1″ _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” custom_button=”on” button_text_size=”14px” button_text_color=”#272727″ button_letter_spacing=”1px” button_font=”|||on|||||” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” parent_button=”off” parent_header_level=”h4″ sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n

              Overuse-related knee pain develops gradually due to repeated loading of the knee structures.<\/p>\n

              Common overuse conditions include:<\/p>\n

                \n
              • Tendinopathy, such as jumper\u2019s knee.<\/li>\n
              • Bursitis \u2013 inflammation of a cushioning sac around the knee.<\/li>\n
              • Iliotibial (IT) band syndrome \u2013 pain on the outer side of the knee.<\/li>\n
              • Patellofemoral pain syndrome (PFPS) \u2013 pain around or behind the kneecap.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

                These complaints are frequently seen in runners, cyclists, gym users and people with repetitive movements at work.<\/p>\n

                [\/dsm_card_carousel_child][dsm_card_carousel_child title=”Biomechanical and Alignment-Related Knee Pain” image_as_background=”off” image_width=”20%” button_url_new_window=”1″ _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” custom_button=”on” button_text_size=”14px” button_text_color=”#272727″ button_letter_spacing=”1px” button_font=”|||on|||||” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” parent_button=”off” parent_header_level=”h4″ sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n

                In many cases, knee pain is influenced by the way the body moves or how the legs are aligned, leading to increased stress on the knee joint over time.<\/p>\n

                Examples include:<\/p>\n

                  \n
                • Alignment issues, such as knock-knees or bow-legs.<\/li>\n
                • Patellar tracking problems, where the kneecap does not glide smoothly.<\/li>\n
                • Muscle imbalances, for example weak hip or core muscles.<\/li>\n
                • Foot mechanics, such as flat feet or high arches affecting load distribution.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

                  Correcting these movement patterns is often essential for long-term relief of knee pain.<\/p>\n

                  [\/dsm_card_carousel_child][dsm_card_carousel_child title=”Degenerative and Medical Knee Conditions” image_as_background=”off” image_width=”20%” button_url_new_window=”1″ _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” custom_button=”on” button_text_size=”14px” button_text_color=”#272727″ button_letter_spacing=”1px” button_font=”|||on|||||” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” parent_button=”off” parent_header_level=”h4″ sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n

                  Some knee complaints are related to joint degeneration or underlying medical conditions.<\/p>\n

                  Common examples include:<\/p>\n

                    \n
                  • Knee osteoarthritis \u2013 gradual wear of joint cartilage.<\/li>\n
                  • Rheumatoid arthritis \u2013 an inflammatory joint condition.<\/li>\n
                  • Gout or joint infection \u2013 caused by crystal deposits or infection inside the joint.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

                    Management often involves a combination of medical care and structured physiotherapy.<\/p>\n

                    [\/dsm_card_carousel_child][dsm_card_carousel_child title=”Referred Pain Felt in the Knee” image_as_background=”off” image_width=”20%” button_url_new_window=”1″ _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” custom_button=”on” button_text_size=”14px” button_text_color=”#272727″ button_letter_spacing=”1px” button_font=”|||on|||||” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” parent_button=”off” parent_header_level=”h4″ sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n

                    Not all knee pain originates from the knee itself. In some cases, pain is referred from another area.<\/p>\n

                    A common example:<\/p>\n

                      \n
                    • Pain originating from the hip or lower back, but mainly felt in the knee.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

                      A thorough physiotherapy assessment is essential to identify the true source of the symptoms.<\/p>\n

                      You should consider physiotherapy if:<\/p>\n

                        \n
                      • Knee pain lasts more than a few days<\/li>\n
                      • There is swelling, locking, instability or giving way<\/li>\n
                      • You cannot fully bend or straighten the knee<\/li>\n
                      • Walking, stair climbing or sports become painful or limited<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

                        Early assessment and a personalised physiotherapy treatment plan can help reduce pain, restore movement and prevent knee problems from becoming long-term.<\/p>\n
