Why Is My Knee Hurting?

When patients come in complaining of knee pain, there is usually no one answer that applies to everyone. The knee is made up of an intricate system of muscles, bones, joints, ligaments, and nerves. All of these components need to work together smoothly for the knee to work without pain. Let's look at a few things that could cause knee pain.

Misalignment - Any joint in the body can shift out of alignment. When this happens, it can cause pain and problems with mobility.

Strained ligament - A ligament is a tough band of tissue that connects the bones to the muscles. There are several ligaments in the knee to provide a range of mobility. If this tissue is stretched too far or sustains an impact, then it could result in knee pain.

Tightened muscles - Another cause of knee pain could be tightness in the surrounding muscles. When muscles are overworked, they can develop painful tension knots. These knots will cut down on your mobility and cause pain.
