Chronic Knee Pain
Chronic knee pain can make everyday activities like walking, climbing stairs, or standing for long periods uncomfortable. It’s often caused by arthritis, old injuries, overuse, or poor movement patterns. With proper care, pain can be reduced and function restored.
Chronic Knee Pain
Causes and Risk Factors:
- Knee osteoarthritis or cartilage breakdown
- Past injuries like ligament or meniscus tears
