We’ve recently seen an increase in patients with knee pain in the clinic. It’s a very common presentation caused by a variety of diagnoses and conditions, and it can put a severe crimp in your mobility and functional independence.

Knee pain is a deep, cloying kind of hurt that vexes you during movement and haunts you even when you try to sit and rest—from sharp and piercing to a dull, pulsing ache. These patients often don’t have knee pain or pathology as a primary diagnosis—every one of them deals with it as a secondary diagnosis.
