Common pathologies related to knee pain
Progressive wear and tear of the joint that can cause pain, stiffness, swelling and difficulty walking, climbing stairs or doing physical activity.
They affect the knee cartilage and can cause pain, inflammation, a locking sensation, limited movement or discomfort when weight-bearing.
Injuries or strains of the knee tendons. They can cause pain when running, jumping, climbing stairs, squatting or resuming sporting activity.
Meniscus injuries or degeneration that can cause pain, swelling, locking, clicking or a feeling of instability when moving the knee.
They can appear after a twist, fall or sports injury. In some cases they cause pain, instability, inflammation or a lack of confidence when putting weight on the leg.
The knee does not just bear weight. It also sustains a large part of your independence.
The knee is involved when walking, climbing stairs, bending down, driving or playing sports. When it hurts, you can move less, overload the other leg and lose strength, stability and confidence.
Pain can have different origins, which is why at Eonlife Clinic we evaluate your case and the affected structures to define the most appropriate treatment: biological therapy, physiotherapy, strength training or a combined strategy.

Frequently asked questions
What can cause knee pain?
It can be caused by osteoarthritis, cartilage lesions, meniscal disorders, tendinopathy, ligamentous injuries, inflammation, overload, trauma, or joint wear and tear. The exact cause must be assessed during a consultation.
When should I consult for knee pain?
It is advisable to consult a doctor if the pain lasts for several weeks, limits walking, makes it difficult to climb stairs, causes swelling, locking, or instability, or does not improve with rest, physiotherapy, or conservative treatment.
How do I know if my knee pain could be osteoarthritis?
Osteoarthritis usually causes pain when walking, climbing stairs or performing everyday movements, as well as stiffness and a progressive loss of mobility. To confirm it, a medical assessment and imaging tests such as an X-ray or MRI are necessary.
Can regenerative medicine avoid surgery?
It cannot be guaranteed. In some cases it can be an alternative to consider before more invasive options, but it depends on the diagnosis, the degree of injury, mobility, pain and the patient's characteristics.
What treatments can be used for knee pain?
Depending on the case, physiotherapy, therapeutic exercise, growth factors, platelet-rich plasma, stem cells or other medical strategies may be considered. The indication depends on the type of injury and the medical assessment.
How long does knee pain take to improve?
It depends on the origin of the pain, the degree of injury and the state of the tissue. Some injuries improve in a few weeks, while others require more time, monitoring and active recovery work.
