Common Causes of Knee Pain

Knee injuries: A knee injury can occur by being hit in the knee, falling on your knee, or twisting or spraining your knee.

Knee sprain: A knee sprain occurs when one of the four major knee ligaments is injured or overextended. These ligaments connect your upper and lower leg bones at the knee joint. Symptoms of a knee sprain include:

  • A popping noise inside of your knee at the time of injury
  • Swelling
  • Tenderness
  • Knee weakness when trying to stand
  • Difficulty in bending the knee

Repetitive motion: Most sports require the same movement of your knees on a constant basis. This is especially true during practice when you are performing the same task over and over. Repetitive use causes tears in the tissues around the knee or it can cause bursitis to set in.

Torn cartilage: Pads of tissue that absorb shock during movement and help the knee to be stable. 

Tendonitis: Inflammation of the knee's tendons.

Arthritis: This can set in due to aging, injuries, or excessive stress on your knee. 

A Chiropractor Can Help With Your Knee Pain

Your chiropractor will work with you to determine what exactly is causing you pain. They will ask you questions about accidents or injuries that you have had lately. You may have had an accident that hurt another part of your body but has also affected your knee without you realizing it. So, think about any accidents or injuries you have had lately and be ready to discuss them with your chiropractor.

Your chiropractor will also ask about your work or common activities. Be ready to talk about your involvement in sports and how often you practice. Do you run on a regular basis? Do you have a workout routine that you perform on a regular basis? Do you spend a lot of time on your knees at work? All of these activities can give clues as to why you are experiencing knee pain.

Your chiropractor can use massage and ultrasound therapies as well as supportive treatments to alleviate swelling, thus reducing your pain. These methods will also increase your knee's mobility. Taping the joint correctly will help support your knee while it is healing. You will be given the appropriate at-home exercises to do in order to build strength, endurance, and stability.

The chiropractor will make sure that your knee is aligned properly and make adjustments if necessary. They may also check the alignment of your spine and hips. If they are out of alignment, they could be putting undue stress on your knees.
