Knee pain is a common issue that can affect people of all ages and lifestyles. It can result from various causes, ranging from minor injuries to chronic conditions. Here are some potential ailments that may affect the knee:

1. **Sprains and Strains**: Often caused by sudden twisting or overexertion, sprains and strains involve stretching or tearing of the ligaments and muscles around the knee.

2. **Tendonitis**: This occurs when the tendons around the knee become inflamed due to overuse or repetitive motions, such as running or jumping.

3. **Meniscus Tears**: The meniscus is a rubbery cartilage that acts as a shock absorber in the knee. Tears in the meniscus can happen with sudden twisting movements and are common in athletes.

4. **Arthritis**: Both osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis can cause knee pain. Osteoarthritis is the wear and tear of the cartilage in the knee joint, while rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune condition that affects the lining of the joints.

5. **Bursitis**: Bursae are small fluid-filled sacs that cushion the knee joint. When these become inflamed, usually due to repetitive kneeling or pressure, it can lead to pain and swelling.

6. **Ligament Injuries**: Injuries to the ACL (anterior cruciate ligament), PCL (posterior cruciate ligament), or other knee ligaments are common in sports and can cause instability and pain.

7. **Patellar Dislocation**: The patella (kneecap) can become dislocated from its normal position, causing pain and instability in the knee joint.

8. **Fractures**: A broken bone in the knee, often due to trauma or accidents, can cause severe pain and difficulty in movement.

Knee injuries are prevalent in Singapore across various age groups and demographics.

Athletes, especially those involved in fast paced sports like football, basketball, rugby, mixed martial arts, ultimate frisbee and obstacle course racing are at higher risk.

Older adults may experience knee pain due to age-related conditions like osteoarthritis, degenerative knee, patella mal-tracking or even just muscular weakness.

For successful and lasting treatment, identifying the contributing deficit is necessary! Do you consider these causes?
