Osteoarthritis of the knee joint is one of the leading causes of knee pain. Patients feel pain or stiffness in the joints and experience reduced function due to degeneration of the cartilage. Physiotherapists assess patients suffering from chronic or age-related knee pain and then plan treatment accordingly, focussed upon improving flexibility, reducing pain, improving strength and weight management that helps in enhancing the quality of life.

Knee pain can be localized to a specific area or be diffused throughout the knee, depending upon the severity of damage caused to the knee joint. Even though the reasons for knee pain may vary, the result is always the same- mild to extreme pain and discomfort in the knee area. Some common causes of knee pain include:
Mainly occurs due to external factors like twisting, strain due to overextension of the muscles and ruptured or torn muscle tendons. The pain in such cases occurs often immediately. The patient can opt for painkillers for immediate pain relief and gradually move to other forms of pain management like physiotherapy, massages, acupuncture, etc.
It is a form of pain that is caused by degeneration or inflammation of the joint. The pain in such cases develops continuously and its intensity increases over a passage of time. While physiotherapy is a great way to manage pain and to prevent further damage to the knee joint, but in a few cases, where the pain refuses to subside, knee replacement surgery might be recommended.
Any form of trauma or injury to the knee can cause serious damage to the bones, ligaments, tendons and fluid that make up the entire knee joint. As a result, one might experience moderate to extreme pain in the area and require immediate medical attention to ascertain the cause as well as the course of treatment for healing and recovery purposes. Knee injuries can range from fractures to a torn meniscus (rubbery cartilage that gets torn as a result of the heavy lifting of weight) and from knee bursitis (inflammation of the joints) to patellar tendonitis (injury caused when the tendon is overstressed).
It helps in restoring the normal functioning of the knee by strengthening the muscles and facilitating mobility.
Pain relievers and other analgesics are often recommended to manage pain and provide instant relief to the patient.
In case of chronic knee pain or severe wear and tear of the joints, knee replacement or knee correction surgeries are recommended.
Corticosteroids injections are administered to help in knee inflammation. Other injections administered for knee pain include – hyaluronic acid supplements and arthrocentesis.
