What You Need to Know About Knee Pain

Knee pain can stem from various sources, affecting the knee joint, surrounding muscles, ligaments, tendons, and cartilage. The knee joint is one of the body's largest and most complex joints, comprising the thighbone, shinbone, kneecap (patella), and supporting structures. Common causes of knee problems include:

Sudden injuries from sports or accidents

Overuse injuries from repetitive activities

Age-related wear and tear leading to osteoarthritis

Inflammation of supporting structures

Structural abnormalities affecting knee function

Dr.S.Arumugam and his team are the epitome of expertise in knee care, leveraging years of experience and advanced equipment to deliver unmatched results.

Knee arthritis or osteoarthritis is the most common disease that can affect people of all ages, but it is more common in older adults as cartilage naturally wears down over time (osteoarthritis). Individuals with autoimmune conditions like rheumatoid arthritis are also at risk, as the body’s immune system attacks the knee joint. Risk increases for those with previous knee injuries, obesity, or a family history of arthritis.
