What is Knee Pain

Knee pain is a common condition that can arise from injury, mechanical problems, or degenerative diseases such as osteoarthritis. The knee joint relies on healthy cartilage to allow smooth movement. When this cartilage wears down, especially with age, the bones rub against each other, causing pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility.
