Living in Fort Collins, we are surrounded by opportunities for outdoor adventures and activities. Our knees play a crucial role in our ability to enjoy these activities. They allow us to run, hike, ski, squat, pick up kids, and walk our dogs. When knee pain strikes, it can significantly impact our quality of life, limiting our ability to do the things we love.
Signs and Conditions
Knee pain can arise from a variety of causes, including but not limited to:
Misalignment of the Knee
When the knee joint is not properly aligned, it can lead to uneven wear and tear, resulting in pain and discomfort. This misalignment can be caused by a variety of factors, including previous injuries, muscle imbalances, and structural abnormalities.
Meniscus Tear
The meniscus is a piece of cartilage in your knee that cushions and stabilizes the joint. A tear in this cartilage can be painful and debilitating, often requiring medical attention to properly heal.
Being Overweight
Carrying extra weight puts additional stress on your knee joints, increasing the risk of knee pain. High BMI is a significant risk factor for knee pain, as the excess weight can lead to degeneration of the knee joint over time.
Repetitive Activities
Engaging in activities that put repetitive stress on the knee joint, such as running or jumping, can lead to knee pain over time. Athletes and individuals with active lifestyles are particularly susceptible to this type of knee pain.
Anatomical Short Leg
A difference in leg length can cause an imbalance, leading to knee pain. This condition can be congenital or acquired through injury.
Chronic Inflammation
Inflammation in the knee joint can lead to pain, swelling, and stiffness. Chronic inflammation can be a result of autoimmune diseases, infections, or long-term exposure to irritants.
Weak Knee Muscles
Weakness in the muscles around the knee can lead to instability and pain. Strengthening these muscles through targeted exercises can help alleviate knee pain and prevent future injuries.
