Knee Pain
Knee pain can severely limit your mobility, whether it’s caused by a sudden injury, chronic wear and tear, or poor biomechanics. At Newman Chiropractic in Sandhurst, we help patients from Camberley, Bracknell, and across Berkshire find the underlying cause of their knee pain and develop a personalised treatment plan that reduces pain, restores function, and prevents further injury.
Common Causes of Knee Pain
Knee pain can have a wide range of causes, some of which are linked to poor movement mechanics, while others are due to injury or degeneration.
Acute Injury Causes:
-
Ligament sprains or tears (ACL, MCL, PCL)
-
Meniscus tears affecting cartilage
-
Patellar tendinopathy (inflamed tendon just below the knee)
-
Fractures or dislocations
Chronic Conditions:
-
Osteoarthritis (wear and tear of cartilage over time)
-
Patellofemoral pain syndrome (pain around the kneecap)
-
Bursitis (inflammation of fluid-filled sacs near the knee joint)
-
Iliotibial band syndrome (tightness of the IT band causing friction)
Biomechanical Factors:
-
Muscle imbalances in the quadriceps, hamstrings, and calves
-
Poor gait or posture, including overpronation or supination of the feet
-
Leg length discrepancies causing uneven load on the knee joint
Lifestyle & Environmental Factors:
-
Overuse from running, jumping, or prolonged standing
-
Lack of strength or flexibility in the surrounding muscles
-
Excessive weight putting strain on the knee joints
