Knee Pain
Knee pain is a common condition that can affect people of all ages and backgrounds. It can be caused by a variety of factors, including overuse, injury, or underlying medical conditions. Knee pain can significantly impact your daily activities, affecting your ability to perform routine tasks, exercise, and participate in sports or other activities you enjoy.
Causes Of Knee Pain
There are several common causes of knee pain, including:
- Overuse: overuse of the knee joint can lead to pain and inflammation, particularly in athletes or people who perform repetitive tasks.
- Injuries: injuries such as fractures, dislocations, and sprains can cause knee pain.
- Arthritis: arthritis is a common cause of knee pain, particularly among older adults. Osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis are two of the most common forms of arthritis that can affect the knee.
- Tendonitis: tendonitis is an inflammation of the tendons that attach muscles to bones, often caused by repetitive motions or overuse.
- Bursitis: bursitis is an inflammation of the small, fluid-filled sacs that cushion the joints, often caused by repetitive motions or injury.
- Ligament injuries: ligament injuries, such as anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tears, can cause knee pain and instability.
Treatment Options
The treatment options for hip pain depend on the underlying cause and severity of the condition. Some common treatment options for hip-pain we offer include:
- Physical therapy: physical therapy can help to strengthen the muscles around the knee joint, reduce pain and inflammation, and improve range of motion.
- X-ray: imaging to look for fractures and physical injuries to the bones in your knee and joint.
- Bracing or splinting: bracing or splinting the affected knee can help to support the joint and reduce pain and inflammation.
- Surgery: in severe cases, surgery may be necessary to repair damage to the knee joint. Your team at njssw will work with you to determine if this is a necessary treatment
