We take a personalized approach to care, addressing not only the symptoms but also the underlying causes of your knee issues to promote long-term healing and prevent recurrence.
1. Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) Injury
ACL injuries are common among athletes and can occur due to sudden twists or impacts that cause the ligament to tear. Symptoms may include pain, swelling, instability, and difficulty bearing weight on the affected knee.
2. Meniscus Tears
The meniscus is a C-shaped cartilage that cushions the knee joint. Tears can occur due to sudden twisting motions or gradual wear and tear, causing pain, swelling, stiffness, and locking or catching sensations in the knee.
3. Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome (Runner's Knee)
This condition involves pain around the patella (kneecap) and is often associated with activities that involve repetitive knee motion, such as running or cycling. Symptoms may include pain with squatting, kneeling, or ascending/descending stairs, as well as swelling and crepitus (grinding sensation) in the knee.
4. Osteoarthritis of the Knee
Knee osteoarthritis is a degenerative joint disease that occurs when the protective cartilage in the knee wears down over time, leading to pain, stiffness, swelling, and decreased range of motion. It can result from aging, obesity, previous injuries, or genetic factors.
5. Iliotibial Band Syndrome (ITBS)
ITBS is a common overuse injury among runners and cyclists, characterized by pain on the outside of the knee. It occurs when the iliotibial band, a thick band of connective tissue that runs along the outer thigh, becomes irritated or inflamed due to repetitive friction.
