Knee pain takes different forms and can get worse over time. You might notice a burning sensation under your kneecaps, or tenderness and pain. Perhaps even walking short distances or standing in line at the grocery store feel agonizing.

You’re not alone. One in four adults report suffering from knee pain. And that number has increased over the past 20 years.

Knee Pain

Many people who experience knee pain visit doctors and physical therapists but cannot find relief. Surgery often looms as the first choice.

For example, over 800,000 knee replacement surgeries occur each year in the United States alone. Often people have serious complications and soon experience other joint pain and health problems.

However, their problems continue because the source of their knee pain doesn’t go away with surgery.

Hence, the more you understand what causes knee pain, the more likely it is that you can avoid “the knife.” You will have effective strategies to tackle the pain at its source to prevent future problems.
