What are 4 causes of CHRONIC KNEE PAIN?

March 26, 20252 min read

Dealing with ongoing, nagging 🤯 CHRONIC KNEE PAIN can be incredibly frustrating. 


If you're struggling to find relief…


It's important to understand the potential underlying causes so you can address the issue effectively.


While injuries and arthritis are often the first things that come to mind, there are several other common culprits behind persistent 🤯 CHRONIC KNEE PAIN. 


Here are 4 unexpected causes you may not have considered…


Cause #1. Tight Muscles 

Inflexibility in the muscles around the knee, such as the quadriceps, hamstrings, and hip flexors, can lead to imbalances and excess strain on the joint. 


This limited mobility restricts proper knee function.


Cause #2. Excess Weight 

Carrying extra body weight, especially around the midsection, places additional stress and pressure on the knee joints. 


This can contribute to the development of osteoarthritis over time.


Cause #3. Overuse Injuries 

Repetitive, high-impact activities like running, basketball, or even a lot of walking can gradually wear down the knee joint, leading to pain and inflammation. 


This is common in active individuals.


Cause #4. Poor Biomechanics 

Improper alignment or movement patterns during exercise or daily activities can cause the kneecap to track improperly, leading to painful conditions like patellofemoral pain syndrome.


The good news is that each of these 🤯 CHRONIC KNEE PAIN triggers has effective treatment solutions. 


Working with our office to address muscle imbalances, improve flexibility, strengthen the stabilizing muscles, and correct movement patterns can make a big difference.


Additionally, losing excess weight, modifying high-impact activities, and wearing supportive, properly-fitted shoes can also help take pressure off the knees.


Of course, the specific cause of your 🤯 CHRONIC KNEE PAIN will depend on your circumstances.
