Whether it’s a sharp pain during a workout or a dull ache when the climbing stairs, knee pain can make everyday activities challenging. At True Balance Rehabilitation, we help people get back on their feet—pain-free—every day.
The Anatomy
The knee joint is the connection between your thigh bone (femur) to your shin bone (tibia) and is made up of several important structures such as:
- Bones (Femur, tibia, and kneecap also called the patella)
- Menisci (two C-shaped pieces of cartilage that act as shock absorbers)
- Ligaments and tendons (provide connections between bones and muscles and offer stability to the joint)
- Muscles (allow us to move and provide additional support)
When one or more of these structures are irritated or injured, you may feel pain, stiffness, or instability in your knee.

Knee pain can show up in many different ways depending on the cause. You might experience:
