The knees are a common area for injury, irritation, and pain due to the constant load they carry when weight bearing. Symptoms can be mild with only certain movements or stressful activities triggering pain, or there can be swelling, significant pain, and even trouble weight bearing at all in more severe cases. Problems in the knee causing these issues can vary from ligament/soft tissue damage, to minor misalignments of the joint, both with the ability to cause mild or severe pain and dysfunction.
