Chronic Pain Demands Attention
When you suffer from chronic knee pain, the symptoms can be debilitating. If you are currently experiencing knee pain that is stopping you from daily activities, you need professional medical help that can assess your condition and alleviate chronic symptoms.
Your knees bear the brunt of your weight and allow you to execute those amazing moves in your sport or in your dancing. Your knees make it possible for you to walk, jog, crouch, sit, run, climb and be fully mobile. When your chronic knee pain stops you from doing your usual daily tasks, it can be discouraging. You don’t need to be chained to the pain – your chronic knee pain can be relieved with the proper treatments!
Possible Causes of Knee Pain
Many factors can increase your chances of developing knee pain, including:
- Overuse. If you lead an active lifestyle, you’re more likely to develop knee pain than if you lead a more sedentary lifestyle. You put more strain on the structure of your knee.
- Injury. Any ligament, tendon, or cartilage tear in your knee — whether from a sports injury or any awkward movement — causes chronic knee pain until treated.
- Arthritis. A degenerative condition, arthritis in your knee occurs when the cartilage in your knee begins to deteriorate, forcing your bones to grind against each other.
- Bursitis. When fluids build up in your knee from crouching for long periods of time, it causes severe pain and swelling.
- Hemarthrosis. Caused by serious injury, this condition results in bleeding into your joints. It’s identified by swelling, bruising, and warmth.
- Gout. This condition occurs when uric acid builds up in your body, forming crystals inside your joints. Affected areas become inflamed and painful.
If you suffer from any of these ailments, we have the technology and resources at ReBalance to get you up and moving again. Your treatment depends on what’s causing your pain, so diagnosis is always the first step.
