Is your lower back causing knee pain or is your knee pain causing your lower back pain? It is quite a “chicken or egg” scenario…
When you experience knee pain the first place you would think to look it at the knees…
That would make sense now wouldn’t it?
But is this really the case? Let’s take your car as an example. You are driving down the road and the oil light goes on in your car…so do you think that the oil light is the problem? No, of course not, that would be silly, however when you are just looking at your knees when you have knee pain you might be doing the very same thing!
So now let’s look under the hood, so to speak…
Think of your body like a chain and you have heard the old saying, “a chain is only as strong as its weakest link.” So when your knees begin hurting, we immediately think that the weakest link is in the knees. However, let’s for a moment consider that the tension in the chain may have moved to a different point along the chain. The part of that chain that I am talking about is your lower back. Attached to your lower back are the two largest and strongest muscles in your body, your psoas muscles. When these muscles are pulling really tight they pull forward and down on your lower back creating tension in your pelvis. As this happens guess what part of your body needs to pick up the slack?
Yep that’s right! Your Knees!
All the pressure now is forced into your knees, your meniscus must pick up the slack, and as this begins to wear and tear it causes KNEE PAIN…
So yes your back and knee pain can be related.
See the picture in this post [below]. It is a standard nerve function chart used by chiropractors to pin point areas of the body that hurt and how they correspond with the spine. This is a very useful tool for any knee treatment protocol to take the pressure off of the knee and redistribute the tension to the rest of the body relieving knee pain.
Click here to see the nerve function chart.
So if your knee treatment is only looking at strengthening the muscles in your legs to help with your knee pain...
1.) Your knee treatment is not taking into consideration the "bigger picture" of what is going on in your body creating your knee pain to begin with
...AND
2.) Your knee treatment is really not going to help you in the long run...(Aka "job security" for anyone who is only looking at your knee to solve your knee pain)
In essence when you begin to strengthen the legs to address your knee pain you are essentially re-enforcing an already dysfunctional tension pattern in your body causing your knees to hurt.
Don’t take my word for it. Try it yourself. Stand up straight…see how your knees feel…walk around the room a little…go up and down some steps paying extra close attention to your knees and how they feel…
Now try the very same exercise bent over (as if your psoas muscle is tight). See how your knees feel…walk around the room (bent over)…go up and down some steps bent over and see how your knees feel…
This is an easy test of the relationship between back and knee pain.
If you already have knee pain when you try the first exercise there is a good chance that your knee pain will be reduced…
The key is to lock this functional tension pattern in place and make it permanent so the tension in your body is balanced the way it is supposed to be…
Approaching your knee pain any other way is cheating yourself and depriving the quality of life for you and your loved ones…

The interconnectedness of our body’s systems is profoundly demonstrated in the relationship between the lower back and the knees. This piece astutely reminds us that pain’s root cause may be distant from its manifestation, challenging the conventional wisdom of addressing symptoms in isolation. It underlines the importance of the psoas muscles and their significant role in this interplay. A holistic perspective, as presented here, might be the key to truly understanding and addressing chronic pain.
In 2015 I had thermal shrinkage of my acl in my right knee. I have no idea how it happened, other than I have a lot of low back and hip issues. I am having the same pain as before, but there is no significant instability of my right knee. My back on the other hand is very painful and causes me a lot of distress. I have dealt with this pain and had many MRI’s and Xrays, as well as gone through physical therapy several times as well as go to a Chiropractor one to two times a week.… Read more »

I’ve been dealing with knee pain since November of 2018. The symptoms have pointed to an IT Band injury and possibly a hamstring injury of some sort. I’ve been going to physical therapy since March and I have had some improvement. I think the IT Band issue is better, but there is still something wrong. Now my pain is focused around the fibula head. I was told that is where the hamstring, IT Band and nerves all connect to the knee/lower leg. This morning while at the gym, I felt pain in the normal area around the fibula head, but… Read more »

Bill, I got an appeal in thru VA to connect my left knee injury as a secondary condition due to my hips and lower back injury which are both Service connected. My right knee is also serviced connected and I had total knee replacement in 2015. I was reading this article and seeing what you said there I should be able to get it connected. What do you think?

So when a muscle is tight over a long periode it is usually weak right? So by strengthening the psoas major you take the load of the knees?
Arne
Not necessarily. The muscle that shows up as not as tight shows up as weak. There’s no way to tell how strengthening the psoas major will affect the knees.
Bill
It seemed as if the knee and the back pain is totally unrelated and very far from one another to affect each other. Your point is very valid and it does make sense though! Thanks for sharing, Bill!
Allen
You can’t cause pain in one part of the body without it affecting the rest of the structure. It’s impossible, the human body is a system which is why when you stub your toe you clench your jaw and arms tense up…and the toes are smaller and further away from the arms than the knees are to the lower back…

Hi Bill, I’ve had knee pain in both knees for going on 4 years. MRI over the 4 years have show the knee joints to be in good condition. Cortisone, Blood Platelet Treatment, Suplaysn One extensive strength and conditioning and physio have not worked to solve the problem.

There are too many factors left out of the information you provided which makes it difficult to answer your question.

Hi
My 18yr old daughter gets really bad knee pain which spreads to her lower back and heels after only standing for about 30 mins, this is causing her great distress. We are currently going to physio but nothing seems to be helping, the pain.
The doctors just try to get her to take strong pain killers but this is just masking the symptoms not finding out what is causing it.
Lesley
Yep, that’s what they do. It’s both their approach to the body and their business model…
Did you have a question?

I have a curve in my spine but have always been ok until now. It started with my first migraine about 6 months ago because my shoulders were so tense for so long. I went to the chiropractor and since then my shoulders have improved and I haven’t had any migraines.

I get regular massages (like every 2 weeks) but lately I have not been able to fully get rid of the pain. Yesterday my… Read more »
Christina – Thanks for reaching out. Your body is stuck in a “Pain-Tension Loop”. The More pain you feel the more your body tenses up causing you to feel more pain. The key is to begin creating “Pain-Pattern Interrupts” on a consistent and regular basis to get the pressure off of the nerves in your knee as well as the rest of your body, creating space and comfort so your body can relax and begin to heal. This of course is way more indepth than what I could possibly type in this thread however I’d be happy to speak with… Read more »

Yes, however you may be setting the bar to low for yourself. How about a question like: “How can I have no pain in my back and my knee?” If that’s the kind of question you’re interested in getting answered then it would make sense for us to have a conversation on how to do so.

First of all I would like to state that I have never suffered with back pain before – actually I would go as far to say I have a pretty strong back… But here is my inquiry: About 2 weeks ago I started getting a slight stabbing pain in my lower right back, in the area of where that dimple is. maybe slightly below, but this only occurred when standing still. If I walked or sat down, nothing at all . Over the last 10 days it has got steadily worse. Then about a week ago I got a pain… Read more »
Bill
Yes the tension in your body is different when you’re standing then when you stand or walk bent over. So the tension is increased when you stand up irritating the nerves in the spot where the “dimple” is in your lower back creating the pain. Since you can’t just have pain/tension in one part of your body without it affecting the rest of your structure you’re noticing the next weakest point of tension from your head to your feet, which is your knee.
Does that help?

I have lower back pain with uncertain area since last year I sprained my back when I tried to pick thing up. For your information I had hurt my back 4-5 years ago while playing badminton, but it was a minor sprain which got fine after weeks. I went for x-rays and even massage therapy but it don’t get cure.

Disc bulges are caused by undue stress and tension that builds up on the body from an accident or injury. This creates a “pain-tension loop” that must be changed with a “pain-pattern interrupt” This begins to immediately reduce the tension and creates the conditions for your body to heal the DISC bulge…
Bill
hii…I am 19 and was diagnosed with disc bulge at L3 – L4 AND L4 – L5 about 6 months ago, I regularly did all the mckanzie exercises prescribed by orthopaedic doctor and now I have significant relief and lower back hurts very less, all this is on my left side but I don’t understand why do I have mild discountinous paib in my right knee, and do DISC bulge 100 % curable?

Hi! I have serve lower back pain caused primarily by scoliosis surgery I had a few years back. As the curve in my back has gotten worse, I have started to feel crazy pain in my knees. You say the two are connected? That would make sense.
Yes, what’s your strategy for working with all of that?

Over the years I have had sever pain behind my right knee. Last yr. I went in to have my torn munisus repaired. They can’t do an MRI because of my stimulator implaint. My knee pain is getting worse. Could my knee pain be from a baker’s cyst? And wouldn’t the doctor had seen it when they repaired the torn munisus? Or is my knee issue… Read more »
Laura – I believe your knee pain is being caused by all of those factors and apparently the doctor didn’t see or didn’t do anything about the baker’s cyst that may or may not have been there before your surgery. I don’t know what they can do, have you spoken with your doctor/surgeon about this?

Veronica – It’s important to understand that the injections are only a “bandaid” for what is going on with your body. The “pain management” strategy is hoping the pain will be gone when the shot wears off. In my opinion and what I would do is immediately look for other options while you are receiving the injections.

I have had lower back pain for over a year now, the doctor keeps giving me sleeping tablets and pain killers and said I should try pilates. About two months ago I started getting pain all around my knee which is there 24/7, sometimes it feels like fluid is there.

Hi I have lower back and knee pain, massive amounts of tension come into my hips and upper glutes also. I recently attempted a long walk across northern Spain and had to stop halfway as my left knee periodically crunched very painfully and felt as though it was giving way, almost partially dislocating. What would be your advice? I have seen a couple of osteopaths but nothing has been diagnosed or successfully treated…
Many thanks,
Dan
