Knee Pain

Knee pain is a prevalent issue among adults, frequently linked to the wear and tear from everyday activities such as walking, bending, standing, and lifting. Athletes, particularly those who run or engage in sports that involve jumping or quick pivots, are also more susceptible to knee problems. Regardless of whether knee pain stems from aging or injury, it can be both bothersome and, in some cases, debilitating.

Patellar Tendonitis / Jumper’s Knee

Also known as patellar tendinitis, this condition involves inflammation or injury to the patellar tendon connecting the kneecap to the shinbone. It is often seen in athletes who engage in activities that involve frequent, repetitive jumping or running and stress on the knee.

Knee OA

Knee osteoarthritis is a degenerative joint disease where the cartilage in the knee joint gradually wears away. This leads to pain, swelling, stiffness, and decreased mobility over time.

Ligament Strains and Tears

These injuries occur when the ligaments in the knee, such as the ACL, PCL, MCL, or LCL, are overstretched or torn, often due to sudden movements or trauma. They can cause pain, instability, and impaired function.

Meniscus Tears

The meniscus is a piece of cartilage that acts as a cushion between your thighbone and shinbone. A tear can occur from forceful twisting or rotation of the knee. Symptoms include pain, swelling, and difficulty moving the knee.

Patellofemoral Syndrome

Also known as runner’s knee, this condition manifests as pain around the kneecap, often due to overuse, improper alignment, or muscle imbalances. Activities that exacerbate the pain include running, squatting, and climbing stairs.
