Many physical and physiological stressors can cause knee pains, and some of them are the following:
- Ligament tear: refers to trauma brought to ligaments that hold joints together
- Tendon tear: refers to trauma brought to tendons that support joints together
- Bruise or contusion: refers to blood vessel damage that causes bleeding, abrasion and/or puncture on the affected area/s
- Joint dislocation: displacement of joints due to high impact on bones and joints
- Muscle sprain: refers to a ligament being abnormally stretched beyond its capacity
- Muscle strain: refers to a muscle being abnormally stretched beyond its capacity
- Fractured bone: refers to a break in bones. While fractured bones can heal, they will take time therefore, a temporary leave from sports training is highly advised
Knee pain treatment requires a holistic, integrated and personalized management system handled by a good specialist. Together with professional help, the following are recommended to further reduce your risks of having chronic knee pain:
- participate in low-impact activities and avoid high-impact ones like football and basketball;
- eat more fruits and vegetables, and cut out sugar, alcohol, caffeine and preservatives;
- give sufficient time to do proper warm up and cool down before and after exercise;
- wear comfortable shoes that decrease the stress put upon your knees and ankles.
