what is knee pain

Knee Pain
As you know, your knees are the largest joints in your body that you use every day. That's why they undergo a lot of wear and tear. Knee pain is common among many people, with approximately 1.8 million people visiting doctors each year due to this condition
Pain in the front of the knee (anterior knee pain) is a common problem in adulthood and is considered a chronic pain condition. Among young people, those who are highly physically active are more likely to experience this pain. Individuals who are overweight, athletes who perform frequent jumping movements, runners, cyclists, and soccer players are among those who often develop anterior knee pain. In older adults, anterior knee pain is usually not caused by knee disorders or injuries but rather by excessive pressure on the knee
Knee pain can affect people of all ages. To find an effective treatment for your condition, you need to identify the cause of your knee pain
The knee has a complex structure and anatomy. Even minor problems with knee ligaments or overuse can lead to injury. Anterior knee pain can also result from tendon strains, inflammation, or softening of the knee cartilage. This pain occurs when the kneecap (patella) doesn't move properly over the knee joint and rubs against the lower part of the thigh bone (femur). In fact, this pain may occur in adults who put excessive strain on their knees during sports activities. Many young athletes believe that doing high volumes of daily training will help them achieve their sports goals and desired benefits. In reality, overloading the knee causes anterior knee pain and disrupts their training
Problems related to improper alignment between the hip bone and ankle can also contribute to knee pain because the kneecap and the two other bones that form the knee joint must always be properly aligned
Knee osteoarthritis can also cause this pain, as it leads to the accumulation of excess fluid in the knee joint, and swelling will inevitably result in pain. Another possible cause of anterior knee pain is cartilage damage in the knee, as these injuries cause inflammation. Muscle imbalances in the thigh can also lead to anterior knee pain, which is why physically active individuals must understand the importance of proper movement techniques. Incorrect use of sports equipment or improper exercise techniques can cause anterior knee pain
By following a specialized anterior knee pain exercise program at the "Sports and Wellness Clinic of Master Ali Parvizi" and implementing an appropriate rehabilitation plan with proper rest periods and prescribed exercises, most patients recover well
