There are several reasons you may be experiencing knee pain, so it’s normal to be unsure about what’s causing your symptoms.
Tendons are thick, fibrous structures that connect muscles to bones. Tendonitis can occur when the tendons become irritated and inflamed. The patellar tendon connects the patella (kneecap) to the shinbone, allowing you to kick, run, and jump. Patellar tendinitis is common in runners, skiers, cyclists, and those who engage in jumping sports and activities.
The meniscus is a shock absorber located between your shinbone and thighbone. If you twist your knee quickly while bearing weight on it, the thick, rubbery cartilage may rip.
A thorough evaluation by a licensed physiotherapist at our Ottawa, ON physiotherapy clinic is the best way to determine the true cause of your knee pain.
