There are a number of problems that might be causing your knee pain such as:
💥 Meniscus or cartilages irritation/ tear
💥 Ligament strain or tear
💥 Fat pad irritation
💥 Degenerative or inflammatory changes to the joint surfaces
💥 Patella wear
💥 Intra articular cysts
Very often it can be a combination of these resulting in pain, inflammation and loss of function. In addition, although pain may be felt in the knee, it could be referred from the lower back or hip. Knee pain could be caused by the hamstring, quads, adductors or calf muscles being out of balance.
Surgery isn't always the best intervention - for example, better tracking of the patella or improved foot mechanics can allow angry soft tissues in the knee to settle down and thus make surgical intervention unnecessary.
So, if you are experiencing knee pain, we would highly recommend booking in for an initial consultation so a thorough examination can be done to see what the underlying cause might be.
