What is knee pain?

Your knee is a complex structure made up of muscles, tendons, ligaments, and small bones. If you injure any of these parts, you might develop knee pain. Knee pain can make it hard to walk, run, or lift heavy objects. For many patients, an injury may make daily tasks unbearable due to pain. Without treatment, a knee injury can cause chronic pain, diminishing a patient's quality of life. 

Before you can receive treatment for your knee pain, you need an expert diagnosis. Here at Pure Health Aurora, our team will find the root cause of your pain and develop a plan of care to treat it. 

What causes knee pain?

Among older adults, knee pain can often be a sign of arthritis. Arthritis causes inflammation inside your joints. If you have arthritis, you may also notice swelling around your knees or a sensation of heat.

Your knee pain could also be linked to an injury. Many people develop knee pain after:

• A sports injury
• A car accident
• A fall
• Lifting a heavy object

Pain caused by an injury often appears suddenly. Your knee might also make a snapping, popping, or cracking sound. However, snapping, popping, or cracking is not an confirmatory sign that you have a knee injury. 

If you think you’ve injured your knee, seek care right away. Prompt treatment can help you avoid permanent knee damage and heal quicker.
