Knee pain may arise from joint degeneration, muscular imbalance, previous injury, or altered movement patterns.
At Achieve Health, treatment focuses on improving joint function, reducing discomfort, and supporting mobility.
Knee pain can develop due to injury, joint degeneration, inflammation, or altered movement patterns. Understanding the underlying cause is essential for effective treatment and long-term recovery.
Osteoarthritis and inflammatory forms of arthritis can affect the knee joint, leading to cartilage breakdown, stiffness, swelling, and ongoing pain that may worsen with activity.
Injuries to knee ligaments—such as the ACL, MCL, or LCL—can occur during sports, sudden movements, or trauma. These injuries may cause pain, instability, and limited knee function.
Overuse or repetitive strain can lead to inflammation of the tendons around the knee. Tendinitis often causes pain during movement, particularly with activities such as running, jumping, or climbing stairs.
The meniscus acts as a shock absorber within the knee joint. Tears can occur from twisting movements or gradual wear over time, resulting in pain, swelling, and restricted movement.
Inflammation of the bursae—small fluid-filled sacs that reduce friction in the joint—can cause knee pain and swelling. Bursitis is commonly associated with repetitive kneeling or prolonged pressure on the knee.
Our Approach at Achieve Health By identifying the cause of knee pain, Achieve Health develops personalised care plans focused on reducing discomfort, improving joint function, and supporting long-term mobility.
