Why Knees Hurt

Arthritis is a common cause of knee pain. It happens to most of us as we age. The joints dry out. The cartilage between the bones gets thinner. That causes a deep, dull ache.

The ache can come and go for days, weeks or months at a time. A knee with arthritis can swell. It may pop or grind when you move.

How We Treat Knee Pain

First, we find what is causing your pain. Then your care team plans your treatment together. It may include:

  • Physical therapy to strengthen the muscles around the knee
  • Range-of-motion work to help with walking and stairs
  • A knee brace, if you need support
  • A joint injection called a viscosupplement, placed with imaging so it goes in the right spot

“The more movement you can do to take care of yourself and the muscles around it, the better you’re going to be,” says Dr. Todd Cevene.
