Do you worry about your knees giving out while standing? Avoid stairs or decline social outings because of knee pain? If so, you’re not alone. Knee pain can interfere with daily life and prevent you from enjoying your favorite activities. But there’s good news! Midland Sports Rehab and Freeland Sports Rehab offer non-invasive treatments like physical therapy, chiropractic care, acupuncture, massage therapy, and assisted stretching to help you live pain-free again—without the need for surgery or medication.
What Causes Knee Pain?
Your knee is a hinge joint that moves forward and backward, supporting up to six times your body weight during activities like squatting. Knee pain can result from injury, overuse, or improper body alignment, leading to difficulty with basic movements like walking, running, or dancing. Common causes of knee pain include:
- ACL Injury: A common sports-related injury in soccer, basketball, and volleyball, where the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is torn due to sudden direction changes.
- Fractures: Knee fractures can occur from trauma like falls or car accidents, or even simple missteps if bones are weakened.
- Torn Meniscus: This cartilage, acting as a shock absorber between your shin and thighbone, can tear with sudden twisting motions.
- Knee Bursitis: Inflammation of the bursae (fluid-filled sacs) can prevent smooth movement in the joint.
- Patellar Tendinitis: Irritation of the patellar tendon, common in runners, cyclists, and jump-intensive sports, causing pain from the kneecap to the shinbone.
A thorough evaluation at Midland Sports Rehab or Freeland Sports Rehab will help determine the root cause of your knee pain and create a personalized treatment plan.
