Knee Pain 

Knee pain is a common symptom in people of all ages. Because you use your knee so much, it is vulnerable to injury. Knee pain is one of the most common reasons people visit a pain specialist or a doctor. Most knee problems can be prevented or treated with simple measures like exercise or training programs, while others may require surgery. 

If you’re struggling with knee pain, contact Infinity Cellular Wellness to see if stem cell therapy is right for you. 

A Closer Look at Your Knee 

Your knee is one of the largest and most complex joints in your body. Your knee helps to join your thigh bone to the shin bones and your kneecap. Your knee also contains cartilage to help your knee move smoothly acting as shock absorbers for your body. 

Because there are so many complex parts of the knee, it can often be at risk for pain or injury. 

You may also be at increased risk for knee pain if you: 

  • Are overweight and putting increased stress on your knee joints 
  • Overuse your knee 
  • If you have a history of arthritis 
  • Lack muscle flexibility or strength to help stabilize and protect your joints 
  • Participate in sports or activities with jumping, turning, running, or other movements 
  • Have a physically demanding job such as construction or farming 
  • Suffered from a previous knee injury 

What are Common Causes of Knee Pain? 

It may start suddenly, often after an injury or exercise. Knee pain also may begin as a mild discomfort, then slowly get worse. Knee pain can have many different causes. 

Some common causes of knee pain include: 

  • Strain or sprain – Minor injuries to the ligaments caused by sudden or unnatural twisting 
  • Dislocation of the kneecap 
  • Bursitis – Inflammation from repeated pressure on the knee, such as kneeling for a long time, overuse, or injury 
  • Fracture of the kneecap or other bones 
  • Iliotibial band syndrome – Injury to the thick band that runs from your hip to the outside of your knee 
  • Patellofemoral syndrome – Pain in the front of your knee around the kneecap 
  • Torn ligament – An anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury, or medial collateral ligament (MCL) injury may cause bleeding into your knee, swelling, or an unstable knee 
  • Torn cartilage (a meniscus tear) – Pain felt on the inside or outside of the knee joint 

Which Medical Conditions Cause of Knee Pain? 

Knee pain may also be caused by medical conditions such as: 

  • Arthritis -Including rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, lupus, and gout 
  • Baker cyst – A fluid-filled swelling behind the knee that may occur with swelling (inflammation) from other causes, such as arthritis 
  • Cancers  – Those that either spread to your bones or begin in the bones 
  • Infection in the bones of the knee 
  • Infection in the knee joint 

How Can Knee Pain Be Treated? 

Knee pain can limit your mobility, disrupt daily activities, and take a toll on your quality of life. At Infinity Cellular Wellness, we offer stem cell therapy to help reduce inflammation, restore function, and support long-term knee health. 

Stem Cell Therapy for Knee Pain 

Stem cell therapy is an innovative regenerative treatment that targets the underlying causes of knee pain rather than simply masking symptoms. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have shown the ability to reduce inflammation, support cartilage preservation, and stimulate the body’s natural repair processes. This makes stem cell therapy a promising option for patients experiencing chronic knee pain from arthritis, ligament injuries, meniscus tears, or overuse. 

For many patients, stem cell therapy offers meaningful improvement in mobility, strength, and day-to-day comfort. By promoting repair at the cellular level, this treatment provides a restorative approach that may help delay or avoid more invasive procedures, including joint replacement. 

How Can I Avoid Future Knee Injuries? 

Follow these general tips to help relieve and prevent knee pain: 

  • Always warm up before exercising 
  • Stretch muscles 
  • Cool down after exercising 
  • Wear proper footwear when exercising 
  • Avoid running down hills 
  • Find alternatives to running 
  • Reduce the amount of exercise you do 
  • Run on a smooth, soft surface, such as a track, instead of on cement or pavement 
  • Lose weight if you are overweight
