Don't let knee pain limit your life any longer. Our expert team is ready to help you on your journey to recovery.
Knee pain varies significantly in type, location, and severity. Understanding the nature of your specific knee pain is crucial for effective treatment and long-term relief.
Your knee is the largest joint in your body, consisting of bones (femur, tibia, and patella), ligaments (ACL, PCL, MCL, LCL), cartilage (menisci), and numerous muscles and tendons. The knee allows for flexion and extension movements, with slight rotation when bent. Common pain sites include the front of the knee (patellofemoral pain), sides (ligament injuries), back (Baker's cyst), and within the joint (meniscal tears, arthritis).
Our specialist team conducts thorough assessments to identify exactly which structures are causing your pain, whether it's ligaments, tendons, cartilage, or the joint itself. We use advanced diagnostic techniques including physical examination, imaging studies, and functional movement analysis to develop a precise treatment plan tailored to your specific condition.
Knee anatomy and common pain areas
Our expert team specializes in diagnosing and treating various types of knee pain, each requiring a unique approach for optimal recovery.
Pain around or behind the kneecap, common in runners and active individuals. Often caused by overuse, muscle imbalances, or improper tracking of the kneecap.
Injury to the anterior cruciate ligament, often occurring during sports involving sudden stops, jumps, or direction changes. Can range from partial to complete tears.
Damage to the cartilage cushions (menisci) in the knee joint. Common in sports and can also occur from degenerative changes with age. Causes pain, swelling, and knee locking.
Degeneration of cartilage in the knee joint, leading to pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility. Most common in older adults but can affect younger people with previous injuries.
Inflammation of the iliotibial band causing pain on the outer side of the knee. Common in runners and cyclists, often due to overuse, poor biomechanics, or muscle imbalances.
Many knee pain conditions share similar symptoms, making self-diagnosis difficult. Our specialists use comprehensive assessment techniques to determine the exact cause of your pain and create an appropriate treatment plan.
