Englewood Cliffs, NJ

Understanding Knee Pain

The knee is a complex joint involving ligaments, cartilage, tendons, muscles, and joint surfaces working together to support movement. Pain may develop from injury, repetitive stress, degenerative changes, or biomechanical imbalances.

Ligament injuries

ACL, MCL, LCL injuries stemming from sudden twists or direct impacts.

Meniscus tears

Damage to the shock-absorbing cartilage within the knee joint.

Patellar tendonitis

Inflammation of the tendon connecting your kneecap to your shinbone.

Runner’s knee

Patellofemoral pain syndrome caused by tracking issues and repetitive stress.

Osteoarthritis

Degenerative changes to the joint surfaces over time.

IT band irritation

Friction of the iliotibial band against the outer knee joint.

Post-surgical stiffness

Reduced mobility and scar tissue following knee procedures.

Muscle imbalance

Weakness or instability in the supporting leg and hip musculature.

Accurate diagnosis is essential. At PhysioSharks, we perform a structured clinical evaluation to determine precisely which structure is involved and what is driving your symptoms.
