What Causes Knee Pain?
Knee pain can develop due to injury, joint problems, or ongoing strain. Sports injuries, sudden twists, or falls may damage ligaments or cartilage, while conditions like arthritis and age-related wear can slowly weaken the joint. Repeated movements, heavy physical activity, or poor muscle support around the knee can also place extra stress on the joint, leading to pain, stiffness, and reduced movement over time.

Sports or sudden twisting injuries
Falls or direct impact to the knee
Joint & Bone Issues
Knee arthritis or cartilage wear
Weak bones or muscle imbalance
Overuse & Stress
Repeated movements or heavy activity
