What Causes Knee Pain?
Knee pain most frequently originates from disease, trauma, or overuse. Knee pain is one of the most common conditions requiring physical therapy in America, and approximately 25% of all adults have experienced knee pain that alters their ability to function when performing daily tasks.
While aging and disease can cause knee pain, athletics are the culprit of most knee injuries for people under the age of 50. Runners have the highest rates, especially runners who frequently run on roads or other unforgiving surfaces. Those over the age of 50 have higher rates of osteoarthritis, or pain originating from years of twisting, squats, walking, and activity involving impact to the knees. This wear and tear over the life course can cause degradation of the cartilage and lead to pain and a reduced range of motion.
For younger patients, knee pain is often a result of growing. Pain can lead to difficulty for young children participating in sports and can lead to injury due to poor form to avoid pain during activities.
Knee pain can range from mild to severe and be caused by anything from growing pains to a traumatic injury. When you feel pain in the knee, no matter your age or condition, it is important to seek the advice of a medical professional.
