How Arch Supports Help Knee Pain

The Knee is a complex body joint

 

Consisting of articular cartilage, meniscus, ligaments, and tendon, the knee carries the weight of the body, provides the body stability and acts as a shock absorber. The knee works like a hinge and moves in one plane of movement, flexion and extension but also has the ability to rotate slightly as it moves which makes walking more efficient.

  • Approximately 25% of adults have knee pain
  • Knee pain limits function and mobility and thus impairs quality of life
  • Physical activity can increase knee pain and inflammation

Common Causes of Knee Pain

Common causes of knee pain include aging, injury, or repeated stress. A sudden twist, change in direction, or walking improperly due to foot issues can lead to pain and inflammation. New Arch Orthotics may help by aligning the feet and legs.  Other causes of knee pain are:

  • Osteoarthritis
