Knee pain is common and can affect anyone: athletes, older people or even young adults. Whether the pain is acute or chronic, it is essential to identify its cause in order to act effectively.
What are the possible causes of knee pain?
A painful knee can have several causes:
- Knee osteoarthritis (gonarthrosis): wear of the cartilage with age
- Tendinitis or bursitis: inflammation caused by overuse
- Patellofemoral syndrome: poor alignment of the kneecap
- Sprain or meniscus injury: following trauma
- Muscular or postural imbalances: often overlooked but common
This pain can appear when walking, climbing stairs, after sport or even at rest.
How can knee pain be relieved naturally?
At our practice in Aix-en-Provence or Cadenet, we offer natural and personalised approaches, alongside medical care, to address knee pain in depth:
- Osteopathy: to rebalance joint and muscle tension
- Acupuncture : to reduce inflammation and stimulate circulation
- Advice on gentle exercises: to strengthen the knee without straining it
- Lifestyle and posture: to prevent recurrence
These methods aim not only to relieve the pain but also to act on its cause.
When should you see someone about a painful knee?
If the pain lasts more than a few days, restricts your movement or keeps coming back, it is time to consult. Early care can help prevent the problem from getting worse and help you regain comfort and mobility.
