It’s common to think that "resting" and "taking it easy" are simple treatment options that magically make your back pain disappear. I'm here to tell you that, most times, this is far from the truth. Low back pain typically results from years and years of improper posture, lifting mechanics, and core weakness, eventually leading to pain and discomfort.
Common Causes of Knee Pain
Knee pain can stem from various issues, especially as we age. Understanding the root cause is crucial for effective treatment. Most muscles surrounding and stabilizing your knee originate in the hips. That’s why paramount to strengthen the hips if you want to tackle knee pain.
Also, improper shoe wear, flat feet, or overarched feet can play a role in knee pain. But the most important factor in treating knee pain is to make sure your hips and feet muscles are functioning first, so that's where we start when patients come in to see us about knee pain.
Some common causes include:
Osteoarthritis: Wear and tear on the cartilage can lead to pain and stiffness.
Tendonitis: Overuse or injury can cause inflammation in the tendons surrounding the knee.
Bursitis: Inflammation of the small fluid-filled sacs (bursae) can lead to swelling and pain.
Injuries: Sprains, strains, and tears in the knee ligaments can result from sports or everyday activities.
"Help, I've been told that my achy knees are down to "wear and tear" (or IT Band Syndrome), and there is nothing I can do. I just have to live with it. ”
Signs You Need Help
Recognizing when to seek help is crucial. If you experience any of the following symptoms, it may be time to visit a physical therapist:
Persistent pain or discomfort in the knee
Swelling or inflammation
Stiffness or reduced range of motion
Difficulty walking or performing daily activities
The Truth About Knee Pain
Knee Pain is a serious issue that shouldn't be ignored or pushed aside. It can manifest in many ways, depending on the cause, resulting in pain, swelling, discomfort when moving the knee, and changes in your range of motion. Some people also experience stiffness or a clicking or popping sensation in their knees.
When it comes to knee pain, it’s important to act before irreversible damage occurs. While it may be tempting to push through the pain, it’s essential to pay attention to your body and seek treatment if necessary. Mild pain can be a warning sign of a more serious issue, and ignoring it could lead to surgery or even the need for a total knee replacement down the line.
