Knee pain can occur in different areas of the joint, including behind the knee, under the kneecap, or along the sides of the joint. It can make everyday activities like walking, climbing stairs, or exercising difficult and uncomfortable. Pain in your knee can stem from injuries, overuse, or conditions such as arthritis and ligament damage.
At The Spine and Rehab Group, our specialists provide comprehensive evaluations and personalized treatment plans to help relieve knee pain and restore mobility. With multiple locations across New Jersey and New York City, you can access expert care close to home.
Knee pain can range from mild discomfort to a sign of a more serious underlying condition. While some cases improve with rest and basic care, persistent or worsening pain may indicate an injury, joint damage, or chronic condition that requires medical attention. Because the knee joint plays a critical role in movement and weight-bearing, untreated issues can lead to reduced mobility and long-term complications. Early diagnosis helps identify the cause and allows for more effective treatment.
Knee pain is a common complaint. Many people manage it with a combination of treatments and home remedies. But getting a diagnosis and medical review by a specialist is the best solution to avoid further complications and damage.
Consult your knee doctor for a diagnosis if you notice symptoms such as:
Any of these symptoms or any other discomfort around your knee requires immediate attention from your doctor. Even if you’ve suffered only a minor injury, you can do more damage to the joint by ignoring the pain or treating it simply with over-the-counter pain medications.
“Knee pain is a common problem, but the causes can vary widely. From sports injuries to osteoarthritis, a thorough examination is essential to the determination of the best course of treatment.” – Dr. Amr Hosny, MD, MBA, FASA

Meniscus tears are one of the most common knee injuries and sports injuries that cause knee pain, especially in athletes. A meniscus tear can be the result of a forceful twisting or blow to the knee which causes knee pain, swelling and pain when moving. Meniscus tears are also referred to as torn knee cartilage.
The knee is made up 4 ligaments, ACL, MCL, LCL and PCL. These ligaments are parts of the knee that allow for stability and movement of the knee. ACL and MCL injuries such as sprains or tears are more common and often the result of a sports injury. Treatment for knee ligament injuries such as ACL or MCL tears can be successful without surgery.
Tendonitis of the knee, also known as jumper’s knee, occurs due to inflammation, stress or injury of the patellar tendon in the knee. Repetitive motions that involve straightening of the knee, especially jumping, can lead to knee pain and knee stiffness that may be diagnosed as patellar tendonitis.
Runner’s knee is an overuse condition that commonly affects runners, cyclists, and other active individuals. It typically causes pain around the kneecap and may worsen with activities such as running, squatting, or bending the knee.
Knee bursitis is inflammation of the bursae, small fluid-filled sacs that help cushion and reduce friction in the knee joint. It can develop from repetitive strain, sports injuries, or conditions such as arthritis. Common symptoms include pain, swelling, and tenderness around the knee.
Arthritis of the knee causes inflammation in the joint, leading to pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility. Osteoarthritis is the most common form and occurs when knee cartilage gradually wears away. Non-surgical treatments can help reduce pain and improve joint function and mobility.
Patellofemoral syndrome is a condition that causes pain in the kneecap or around the knee. It is prevalent among athletes, active teenagers, older adults, and people who perform physical labor and usually occurs after a sudden increase in activities such as running or jumping.
While knee pain occurs mostly due to age and injuries, some factors increase your risk of an incapacitating knee condition, including:
Since knee injuries and ailments cause pain and limited mobility, your doctor may recommend lifestyle changes if you fall under these risk factors. Follow your doctor’s instructions to ensure a lasting solution to your pain.
