Causes of Knee Pain
Injuries
An injury to your knee can occur in many ways. You may fall and hurt your knee or injure it while playing sports. Knee injuries are also common in car accidents. Some of the most common types of knee injuries are fractures, dislocations, ligament tears, and meniscus tears.
ACL Injuries
The anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is a ligament that runs through the middle of the knee joint. It’s one of the most commonly injured knee ligaments. ACL injuries can be caused by a sudden change in direction, landing from a jump, or direct contact with the knee. Symptoms of an ACL injury include pain, swelling, and knee instability.
Meniscus Injuries
The meniscus is a C-shaped piece of cartilage that cushions the knee joint. This can cause knee pain in Marin County. Meniscus injuries are often caused by overuse or twists and turns that can tear the cartilage. Symptoms of a meniscus injury include pain, swelling, and knee stiffness.
Joint Dislocation
A joint dislocation occurs when the bones that make up the joint are separated. Knee dislocations are usually caused by a fall or a direct blow to the knee. Symptoms of a knee dislocation include severe pain, swelling, and deformity.
Osteoarthritis
Osteoarthritis is the most common form of arthritis and usually affects people over 50. It’s a degenerative disease that causes the cartilage in your joints to break down. The cartilage is the cushion that protects your bones from rubbing together. When the cartilage breaks down, the bones rub together, leading to pain, swelling, and stiffness in the knees.
Rheumatoid Arthritis
Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune disease wherein your immune system starts attacking the cartilage tissues around the joints, leading to joint inflammation. The inflammation can damage the cartilage and the bones, causing pain, swelling, and stiffness. Rheumatoid arthritis usually affects the hands, wrists, feet, ankles, knees, and elbows.
Gout Arthritis
Gout arthritis is a form of arthritis that occurs when there is a buildup of uric acid in the joints. This buildup can lead to the formation of crystals, which can then cause inflammation and pain in numerous parts of the body, as well as knee pain in Marin County. Gout arthritis is most common in the joints of the hands, feet, and knees.
Patellar Tendinitis
Patellar tendinitis is a condition that occurs when the tendons that attach the patella (kneecap) to the shinbone become inflamed. Patellar tendinitis is most common in athletes, particularly runners. The condition is often the result of overuse and can be painful.
Treatments for Knee Pain
Chiropractic Care
Chiropractic care focuses on treating musculoskeletal disorders. Chiropractors use various techniques, such as manipulation and adjustments, to restore optimal alignment and relieve pain. Chiropractic care is often used to treat back pain but can also be effective for knee pain in Marin County.
Knee Decompression
Knee decompression is a nonsurgical treatment that uses a machine to apply negative pressure to the knee. This involves separating the tibia (shin bone) and the femur (thigh bone) to create more space for the knee joint. This procedure can alleviate knee pain and facilitate healing.
Shockwave Therapy
Shockwave therapy is a cutting-edge, non-invasive solution for various medical issues like ED and musculoskeletal problems. Utilizing painless high-energy sound waves, it triggers natural cellular regeneration for faster tissue healing. Safe and effective, this drug-free alternative to traditional treatments offers a natural solution for medical conditions. Despite the name, there’s nothing to fear with shockwave therapy.
