How Ignoring Knee Pain Can Escalate to Back Pain
Did you know that ignoring knee pain can lead not just to further knee damage but also to severe back problems?
Knee pain is often linked to lower back pain through the intricate connections involving the lower back, pelvis, and knees. When your back is out of alignment, it can put tension on the sciatic nerve, which may then radiate down your legs and into your knees, leading to inflammation, pain, and reduced mobility.
But there’s more—knee pain can change your posture and how you walk, causing your lower back to compensate and potentially leading to misaligned spinal discs. Ignoring these pains can result in further wear and tear on your spinal discs and knee joints.
