Common Causes of Knee Pain:

Osteoarthritis

One of the most common causes of knee pain in adults, Osteoarthritis is manageable. Osteoarthritis (OA), also called degenerative joint disease, is the break down of cartilage in the knee joint. As one grows older, the wear and tear of daily living and activity slowly wear out the joint. Knee trauma, such as broken bone, cartilage and/or supportive ligaments, can disrupt the integrity of the joint, leading to premature OA.

Injuries

Many people have ongoing pain due to injuries that were never diagnosed. Mild ligament and cartilage tears are very common, and can occur doing anything - from recreational activities to stepping off of a curb.
