Identifying the Causes of Knee Pain
Knee pain can arise from both joint-specific issues and conditions affecting the body’s kinetic chain, including the hips, lower back, and ankles. Common conditions linked to knee pain include stress, knee bursitis, foot and hip pain, strains, fractures, patellar tendinitis, and dislocated kneecaps. Addressing these underlying issues is crucial for effective treatment and prevention of further knee pain.
Some of the common conditions that occur when the kinetic chain is significantly affected include:
- Stress
- Knee bursitis
- Foot and hip pain
- Strain
- Fracture
- Patellar tendinitis
- Dislocated kneecap
