Why Does My Knee Hurt?

Knee pain is a prevalent health concern that affects our ability to perform basic movements like standing, walking, running, and dancing. In some cases, the source of the pain might not be the knee itself but a condition in the foot or hip region, underlining the complex nature of this health problem.

At Physical Therapy & Hand Rehabilitation, located in Silver Spring and Riverdale Park, MD, we’re committed to identifying and treating the root causes of your knee pain. Our expert physical therapists conduct comprehensive whole-body assessments to unravel the factors contributing to your condition, thus formulating effective strategies to alleviate your discomfort.

Common Causes of Knee Pain

Arthritis
Osteoarthritis or rheumatoid arthritis can cause knee pain due to the breakdown of cartilage and inflammation in the joint, leading to stiffness and discomfort.
Ligament Injuries
Tears or sprains in ligaments like the ACL or MCL, often from sudden movements or trauma, can lead to instability and pain in the knee.
Knee Bursitis
Inflammation of the bursae, small fluid-filled sacs in the knee, often from repetitive kneeling or pressure, causes pain and swelling.
Cartilage Injuries
Injuries to the meniscus or other cartilage in the knee, often from twisting or impact, can cause pain, swelling, and limited mobility.
Tendinitis
Inflammation of the tendons around the knee, such as patellar tendinitis, often caused by overuse or repetitive stress, results in pain and tenderness.
