Common Causes of Knee Pain
The
knee is
comprised of
a number of intricate and delicately balanced structures. The
slightest disturbance to this balance can result in dysfunction,
injury, and pain. Between the joint of the knee, its supporting
muscles and ligaments, and the kneecap –
also known as the patella –
there are a number of ways that the knee can be injured.
In
fact, the patella alone is often a source of damage and injury. This
bone is often described as “floating” since it slides loosely
within the patellofemoral
groove without being firmly attached to the body by muscle and
ligament. Any disruption in this balance or function can lead to
pain.
Among
the most common conditions that are known to cause pain in the knee
is:
- Trauma from an accident
- Sprains
- Strains
- Osteoarthritis and other arthritic conditions
- Adhesive Capsulitis (Frozen Knee)
- Dislocation of the patella
- Bursitis
Furthermore,
dysfunction in other areas of the body may also lead to pain in the
knee. This is known as referred pain and, with the knee, often comes
from issues with the joints of the lower body –
sacroiliac, lumbar facet, or hip –
as well as from problems with the muscles surrounding the hips and
knee.
