Common Causes of Knee Injury/Pain
Knee injuries are common and may result from various causes. We offer treatment and pain management if you suffer any of the following conditions:
Torn Ligaments
ACL, PCL, MCL, or LCL tears can cause knee instability, swelling, and sharp pain. These are common in athletes or people who twist or hyperextend the knee suddenly.
Meniscus and Cartilage Tears
A torn meniscus or damaged cartilage can cause catching, popping, or locking in the knee. These injuries reduce flexibility and often result in ongoing joint pain.
Overuse Injuries
Conditions like IT band syndrome, tendinitis, and bursitis result from repetitive movement or strain. These lead to sharp pain during activity and may worsen over time.
