Your knee is the largest and most complex joint in your body. Any injury or age-related wear to this joint leads to pain, reduces your mobility and affects your quality of life. A third of Americans report experiencing knee pain at some point in their lives. This is the second-most common cause of chronic pain behind lower back pain. There are many causes of knee pain, from regular wear and tear to knee injuries.
Your knee joint plays a critical role in most physical activities. When it hurts, you can’t easily stand or walk, let alone jump, run, hop, slide or jog. The joint allows four main movements, namely extension, flexion, lateral rotation and medial rotation. Basically, you can bend you knee, extend your leg and rotate the joint a bit.
Given the complexity of the knee joint, you need to see a specialist if you experience any nagging pain. Dr. Amr Hosny and a team of experienced knee experts at the Spine & Rehab Group in New York City and northern New Jersey use cutting-edge equipment for knee pain diagnosis, treatment and knee pain relief.
