The knee, essential for weight-bearing and mobility, is prone to various conditions affecting its function and comfort. Osteoarthritis, runner's knee, and tendonitis cause pain and limited mobility. Ligament tears such as ACL and meniscal tears impair stability and function. Bursitis and patellar dislocation add complexity to symptoms. Conditions like Osgood-Schlatter disease affect adolescents, while chondromalacia patellae leads to cartilage breakdown. Post-operative rehabilitation following surgeries is crucial for recovery. Treatment involves physical therapy, addressing muscle imbalances, and ergonomic adjustments to alleviate pain and restore knee function.
We address additional Knee issues listed below.
- Knee osteoarthritis
- Patellofemoral pain syndrome (runner's knee)
- Patellar tendonitis (jumper's knee)
- Iliotibial band syndrome (IT band syndrome)
- Meniscal tears (medial or lateral meniscus tears)
- Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries (sprains or tears)
- Posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) injuries (sprains or tears)
- Medial collateral ligament (MCL) injuries (sprains or tears)
- Lateral collateral ligament (LCL) injuries (sprains or tears)
- Knee bursitis (e.g., prepatellar bursitis, pes anserine bursitis)
- Patellar dislocation or subluxation
- Osgood-Schlatter disease (painful lump below the kneecap in adolescents)
- Patellar tendinopathy (patellar tendon degeneration)
- Chondromalacia patellae (softening and breakdown of the cartilage on the underside of the kneecap)
- Knee ligament sprains
- Knee joint instability
- Knee synovitis
- Knee arthritis (rheumatoid arthritis or osteoarthritis)
- Knee muscle strains (e.g., quadriceps or hamstring strains)
- Post-operative rehabilitation following knee surgeries (e.g., ACL reconstruction, meniscal repair, knee arthroscopy, knee replacement)
