Knee pain can occur at any stage in life. Accidents and injuries, chronic diseases, even genetics- all of these can be factors for increased knee pain. The pain can be debilitating, causing loss of mobility. Knowing the causes and treating the pain can significantly increase your quality of life.
Knee Pain Treatment Austin TX can be treated at Pure Physio. Causes like arthritis, bursitis, and tendinitis can lead to symptoms including swelling, fever, numbness, grinding and clicking. Loss of motion, pain with squatting, bending and walking can occur. Pain can also lead to isolation (not wanting to join others in activities that include walking) and then depression.
Knee pain can also be caused by traumatic injuries. Torn ACL’s from sports-related injuries are common and excruciatingly painful. Patellae dislocation, quadriceps tendon ruptures and meniscal tears can all be caused by motor vehicle accidents, sports injuries and falls. When these happen, they can cause you to temporarily lose the ability to walk.
