Knee Pain Q & A

What are the signs of a knee injury?

Knee injuries can cause mild discomfort to severe bruising, swelling, and pain. To determine if you’re suffering from a knee injury, the Sutherland Chiropractic team looks for the following signs and symptoms:

• Stiffness and decreased range of motion
• Bruising, redness, or discoloration
• Difficulty bearing weight
• Popping, clicking, or cracking in your knee
• A sensation that your knee is catching or locking
• Tenderness around your knee joint

Mild discomfort that lasts more than one week despite resting can be a cause for concern and warrants an exam as well to rule out a more complicated or serious injury.

What causes knee pain?

Common causes of knee pain include:

• Lumbar disc degeneration
• Patellar or iliotibial (IT) band tendinitis
• Bursitis
• Muscle strains
• Ligament sprains or tears
• Meniscus tear
• Arthritis
• Osgood-Schlatter disease
• Dislocations
• Fractures

Overuse and repetitive movements are the leading causes of knee pain, especially if you experience pain when exercising or doing specific activities for your job or at home. Trauma is more likely to cause structural damage to your knee, including fractures and dislocations.
