Common Causes Of Knee Pain
Knee pain can happen for a lot of reasons, kind of like how a toy can break if it's used too much or used the wrong way. Imagine your knee is like a hinge on a door - it helps you walk, run, and jump. But sometimes, things can go wrong.
Knee pain is a common issue for seniors due to several factors related to aging and wear and tear.
Here are some common knee pain problems that seniors often experience:
Osteoarthritis: This is the most common reason seniors might feel pain in their knees. It happens when the cushiony material (cartilage) that protects the ends of bones in the knee wears down over time. This can make moving the knee painful as there's less of a cushion.Rheumatoid
Arthritis: This is a type of arthritis where the body’s immune system attacks its own tissues, including the knees. This can cause pain, swelling, and stiffness.
Tendinitis: This is when the tendons, which are the thick cords that attach muscles to bones, become irritated and inflamed. Seniors might get this from doing the same movements over and over, like walking or climbing stairs.
Bursitis: In the knee, there are small fluid-filled sacs called bursae that help cushion the outside of the knee joint. When these get inflamed, usually from kneeling a lot or from impact, it can cause pain and swelling.
Meniscus Tears: The meniscus is a piece of cartilage that acts as a shock absorber between your thigh and shin bones. A tear can happen when seniors twist their knee while the foot is planted on the ground, leading to pain, swelling, and difficulty moving the knee.
Gout: This is a type of arthritis that can cause sudden, severe attacks of pain, swelling, and redness in the knee. Gout happens when uric acid builds up in the blood and forms sharp crystals in the joint.
These conditions can lead to different types of knee pain, like aching, sharp pain, or stiffness. It's important for seniors experiencing knee pain to consult with a healthcare provider for an accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment.

Knee pain is a common discomfort or pain experienced in or around the knee joint. It can arise from various issues like injuries to the ligaments, tendons, or fluid-filled sacs that surround the knee joint, as well as the bones, cartilage, and ligaments that form the joint itself. It can affect people of all ages, and severity can range from a minor nuisance to a severe, chronic condition, significantly impacting quality of life and mobility.
Knee pain often originates from injuries such as ligament tears, fractures, or meniscus damage. Mechanical issues like dislocated kneecaps or iliotibial band syndrome can also cause discomfort. Various types of arthritis, including osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis, are common culprits. Overuse from repetitive motion or high-impact activities often leads to pain, as well. Less commonly, infections or diseases like lupus may be responsible. Each cause affects the knee differently, leading to the wide range of symptoms and severities seen in knee pain.
Knee pain can often be effectively managed or improved, especially when addressed early with appropriate treatments. The 4-Step Knee Restoration System is designed to target the underlying factors contributing to knee discomfort, offering a structured approach aimed at enhancing comfort, restoring function, and potentially reducing the risk of further issues
Depending on the severity and compliance of each patient, we typically average 30-85% improvement in symptoms if we can accept them into our program.
