KNEE PAIN

What causes knee pain?

Knee pain is a common and undesirable symptom that we see regularly at Motus Health. It can present itself in a number of ways including direct injury, such as twisting the joint during sport, or more gradually over a longer period of time owing to factors such as repetitive or poor movement patterns.

Whether it’s due to injury or wear-and-tear, knee issues can be especially debilitating. Keeping active can become nearly impossible and in some cases even simple tasks like walking up stairs or getting up from sitting can be a challenge.

Some common sources of knee pain include:

• Knee Bursitis

• Fractures

• Tendinitis (Tendonopathy)

• Arthritis

• Dislocations

• Referred pain

Some of the common knee injuries we see include:

• Meniscal Tears

• Quadriceps/Patella Tendinopathy/Tendinitis

• Hamstring Muscle Strains & Tears

• Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) Tears

• Calf Muscle Strain

• Osteoarthritis

• Chondromalacia Patella
