Let’s Find It — and Fix It — Naturally.

There are a lot of potential causes behind knee pain, which is why simply masking symptoms with medications or cortisone shots doesn’t solve the real problem.

At Balance Point Wellness, we take the time to dig deep and identify the root cause — then treat it with safe,

natural, non-invasive methods that promote true healing.

Before you jump into injections or surgery (which often come with long-term consequences), we recommend starting conservatively. Most of our patients are amazed by how much better they feel without ever going down the surgical path.

Here are some of the most common causes of knee pain we see in our clinic:

Tendonitis

Tendonitis is inflammation of the tendons around the knee — often felt as pain at the front of the knee, especially when climbing stairs or walking uphill. It’s usually caused by overuse or improper movement patterns.

Osteoarthritis

One of the most common causes of knee pain in older adults, osteoarthritis is the result of wear and tear. It leads to joint inflammation, stiffness, and gradual deterioration of cartilage.

Meniscus Tear

The meniscus is the cartilage that cushions your knee joint. A tear — often from sports or trauma — can cause sharp pain, locking, or instability in the knee.

Torn Ligaments

Knee trauma can lead to tears in one of the four major ligaments. The most common is the

ACL (anterior cruciate ligament). These injuries often happen suddenly during twisting, pivoting, or high-impact movements.

Bursitis

Inflammation of the bursa — a small, fluid-filled sac that cushions the knee — can lead to swelling, tenderness, and stiffness. It’s usually caused by repetitive motion or pressure on the joint.

Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA)

RA is a chronic autoimmune condition that causes painful swelling, joint damage, and — if left untreated — joint deformity. Because we specialize in autoimmune-related pain, our team is equipped to help support the body naturally and reduce inflammation.
