Top 5 Reasons Your Knee Pain Isn’t Going Away

Knee pain is one of the most common complaints among adults, especially those with active lifestyles or aging joints. But what happens when the pain doesn't go away, even after rest, ice, or over-the-counter medications?

Here are the top 5 reasons your knee pain might be sticking around:

1. Inflammation That Won’t Quit
Inflammation is your body’s natural response to injury, but when it becomes chronic, it can wear down cartilage and irritate surrounding tissue. Many people with persistent knee pain have low-grade inflammation that never fully resolves.

2. Degeneration from Wear-and-Tear
Osteoarthritis is a leading cause of knee pain. Years of stress on the joint can break down cartilage, leading to bone-on-bone contact. If you’ve been told to “just live with it,” there are now non-surgical options that can help regenerate and protect the joint.

3. Old Injuries That Didn’t Heal Right
Previous injuries like meniscus tears, ligament sprains, or even fractures can cause long-term issues if they weren’t fully treated. Scar tissue or joint instability may be contributing to ongoing discomfort.

4. Poor Alignment or Muscle Imbalance
Pain in the knees often stems from problems elsewhere—tight hips, weak glutes, or even flat feet can change the way your knees move and lead to strain.

5. Lack of Targeted Treatment
Generic solutions like NSAID medications or physical therapy alone might not be enough for your specific condition. That’s where personalized care comes in.
