Knee Injury

Knee pain is one of the most common complaints we hear from new clients at Anatomy Rehab Dubai. Most of the time, knee discomfort happens from sports injuries such as football, overuse, or aging, but luckily, physiotherapy can do wonders for knee pain.

You can feel knee pain in waves, as a slow build-up of pain over time, or even as a sharp stabbing pain. Common knee conditions include ACL, meniscus tear, arthritis, or knee tendonitis.

We deal with many different types of knee discomfort at our physiotherapy clinic in Dubai. Here is a short guide on what could be causing your knee discomfort and some treatment services we can offer to help.

Injuries are responsible for most causes of knee discomfort, it doesn’t have to be a major sports injury to cause knee pain, causes could even be tripping over or hitting something directly against your knee.

These are some types of injuries that cause knee discomfort.

• Tendonitis – This is inflammation of the tendons. Tendonitis happens when there is an injury to the patellar tendon. Often people who jump a lot in sports develop knee tendonitis.
• Meniscus tear – The meniscus acts as a tough rubber cartilage between the shinbone and thighbone. Meniscus tear often happens when you twist your knee.
• ACL – ACL stands for anterior cruciate ligament, one of the ligaments connected to your shinbone. People who play basketball or other sports like soccer that require you to change direction a lot can cause an injured ACL.
• Fractures – The kneecap and bones of the knee can be fractured and broken during falls.
• Knee bursitis – Knee injuries can inflame the bursitis. These are small sacs of fluid around the knee joint.

If you are suffering from right knee pain which is not from direct injury then this is likely down to the connective tissues in your knee or cartilage.

The right knee pain could be down to arthritis, caused by the cartilage wearing down in your knee due to wear and tear and ageing. But, it may also be due to knee tendonitis or bursitis.¹

At Anatomy Rehab Dubai, we don’t just deal with sports-related knee discomfort, we also provide physiotherapy services for age-related knee pain. Dry needling, in particular, can improve pain intensity for people with knee arthritis as it helps provide more blood circulation to the area.
