Understand the pain.
Knee pain may feel sharp, achy, or like pressure around or behind the kneecap. You might notice swelling, stiffness, or a “clicking” feeling when you move. Pain often shows up with walking, stairs, squatting, or standing for long periods. Common causes include overuse, muscle weakness, alignment issues, or old injuries. Early care can prevent small problems from limiting your daily activities.
Common causes of pain.
Knee pain can be caused by irritated cartilage, strained ligaments, or inflamed tendons. Arthritis, meniscus tears, or tracking problems of the kneecap are also common sources. Extra stress from sports, running, or being on your feet all day can overload the joint. Sometimes hip or foot problems change how you move and place more pressure on the knee. A full lower-body assessment helps uncover these links.
Diagnosing the elbow pain.
Diagnosing knee pain begins with a careful review of your symptoms and activity level. Your therapist will check how your knee bends and straightens, your strength, and how you walk or climb stairs. Simple tests may be used to look at ligaments, cartilage, and kneecap movement. If there are signs of more serious injury, they may work with your doctor to order imaging. From there, treatment is tailored to support healing and safe movement.
