What Activities Can Lead To An Overuse Injury?

You can’t avoid some knee injuries. If your work, sport or pastime involves placing repeated strain on the knee you can, over time, wear it away in a variety of ways. This can cause symptoms ranging from irritation and redness to discomfort and swelling and sometimes severe and debilitating pain.

Any repetitive activity can cause an overuse injury, from walking, running or cycling, to gardening. Professions which involve a lot of time spent on the knees (e.g. carpet fitters, joiners, plumbers) are also susceptible to overuse injuries.

How Do You Treat Knee Overuse Injuries?

Simple painkillers or anti-inflammatories (ibuprofen) may help alleviate the earliest symptoms, but it’s important to recognise that simply masking the effects of a knee overuse injury can make things worse in time. It’s far better to seek an expert diagnosis at the onset of knee pain, because the earlier your Castleford knee specialist diagnoses the issue, the quicker they can arrange treatment, and the greater the likelihood you will make a full, fast recovery.

Treatment methods vary depending on the severity of your knee pain, and could range from physiotherapy to surgery.
