Treatment

• Knee pain can be caused by many conditions and
  its treated using a range of options depending
  on the nature of the injury. Some treatments
  involve hot or cold treatments, a range of simple
  mobilization techniques, massage, taping,
  stretches and specially designed strengthening
  exercises. They may also use sound or electrical
  stimulation therapy to help stimulate muscle
  contraction to strengthen the muscles.
• Often a variety of different methods can be
  combined to get the best results for individual
  patients. An older person who is overweight and
  suffering from diabetes or another ailment will
  require a totally different approach and set of
  treatments to a younger athletic type of person
  or someone who is recovering from trauma or
  surgery

Causes

• With many sports injuries where there has been a
  direct impact to the knee area, it often involves
  joint twists or stretching in the wrong
  direction. This can cause ligament tears which
  are often referred to as sprains, muscle injury
  referred to as strains or cartilage injuries.
  Other common injuries usually also associated
  with wear and tear are bursitis where inside the
  knee develops fluid filled sacks or the
  protective cushioning in the knee joint becomes
  inflamed, meniscus.
• Sometimes there is swelling in or around the knee
  with an inability to utilize the knee
  effectively. Often the knee will not allow the
  patient to bend the knee properly or place any
  weight on it. Sometimes it is quite possible for
  the patient to walk and there is minimal
  swelling, but the pain is experienced on one side
  or the other when used in certain ways.
