🦵 Knee Pain Demystified: Common Causes & Effective Non-Surgical Relief 🏃‍♂️ Knee pain can impact anyone — from runners to office workers, young adults to seniors. At Dr. Ashutosh Ushir – The Bone and Joint Clinic, we often see two common conditions behind persistent knee discomfort: 🔍 1. Runner’s Knee (Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome): A common overuse injury in athletes, especially runners, caused by stress on the kneecap. Symptoms include pain during running, climbing stairs, or sitting with bent knees for long. 🔍 2. Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome (PFPS): Also affects non-runners due to muscle imbalances, improper gait, or poor footwear. Pain is often felt around or behind the kneecap. 💡 Non-Surgical & Practical Solutions: ✅ Physiotherapy: Targeted exercises to strengthen quadriceps, glutes & improve patella tracking. ✅ Activity Modification: Reduce high-impact activities temporarily. Switch to low-impact alternatives like swimming or cycling. ✅ Orthotics & Proper Footwear: Custom insoles and supportive shoes reduce knee stress. ✅ Kinesio Taping & Bracing: Provides extra support during healing. ✅ Ice, Elevation & Anti-Inflammatories: Reduce inflammation and pain post-activity. ✅ Weight Management: Every kilo reduced eases pressure off your knees! 🛡️ Prevention Tips: 🧘‍♂️ Warm up properly before exercise 👟 Wear shock-absorbing footwear 📈 Gradually increase workout intensity 🪑 Avoid sitting with bent knees for long hours 🏃‍♀️ Mix up routines – don’t just run, cross-train!
