Knee Pain: Why It Happens and How You Can Avoid Surgery

knee pain

Knee pain is quickly becoming an epidemic. For many, it feels almost inevitable with age especially in your 50s, 60s, and beyond. But why is it so common and more importantly, what can you do about it?

Why Knee Pain Happens

Several factors contribute to knee pain:

  • Wear and tear from walking on hard surfaces
  • Weight gain (every extra pound adds four pounds of pressure on your knees!)
  • Flattening arches in your feet, which shift stress to the knees
  • Spinal nerve issues that block proper healing signals
  • Tight muscles, such as the IT band in runners, that pull on the knee

Left untreated, these problems cause cartilage and meniscus wear, bow-legged or knock-knee postures, and eventually chronic pain.

The Common Mistake People Make

Most people treat knee pain with braces, creams or heat hoping it will go away. But if the root cause isn’t diagnosed, the condition can worsen and lead to dependency on pain medications or even knee replacement surgery.

Why Surgery Isn’t Always the Answer

While knee replacements are common, they aren’t foolproof. Many patients experience complications, lingering pain, or reduced mobility. There’s nothing better than keeping your own joints healthy.
