Common Causes of Knee Pain
Understanding the root cause of your knee pain is the first step toward effective treatment. Some of the most common causes include:
- Arthritis: Osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis are leading contributors to knee pain, particularly in older adults.
- Injuries: Sprains, strains, ligament tears (such as ACL or MCL injuries), and meniscus tears are common in athletes and active individuals.
- Overuse: Repetitive activities like running, cycling, or standing for long periods can lead to pain from conditions like patellar tendonitis.
- Muscle Imbalances: Weakness or tightness in surrounding muscles can strain the knee joint, exacerbating discomfort.
