Pain in the front of your knee could be due to a problem is known as runner’s knee. Having this problem can make it uncomfortable to put any pressure on one or both knees while running or walking. At NuView Health Medical in Manhattan, we offer chiropractic care and other treatments for runner’s knee.

Causes of Runner’s Knee

Runner’s knee can occur from overusing your knee, such as while doing workouts that put a lot of pressure on it. This pressure can lead to strains or sprains that affect the muscles and ligaments in your knee. Other possible causes include trauma, misalignments in your knee joints and weakened thigh muscles.

Symptoms of Runner’s Knee

One of the most common signs of runner’s knee is having pain in the front part of your knee around the kneecap. This pain often gets worse when you move or bend your knee, such as while kneeling, standing up, walking or running. You might also have some swelling around your kneecap.
