In detail

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.

Injury or Strain

  • 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
  • Long-term joint strain or poor posture
