Knee Injuries

Why the Knee is Prone to Injury

The knee joint is one of the most important and heavily loaded joints in the body. It supports you through activities like running, jumping, squatting, and sports performance, while relying on multiple structures for stability:

  • Cruciate ligaments (ACL & PCL)

  • Collateral ligaments (MCL & LCL)

  • Meniscus cartilage

  • Patellar tendon and surrounding muscles

Although strong, the knee is vulnerable to injury from sudden load increases, twisting, falls, or direct impact. Knee pain can also develop gradually due to overuse or arthritis.

​

Symptoms of Knee Injuries

  • Swelling and stiffness

  • Dull or sharp pain

  • Instability or the knee “giving way”

  • Clicking, catching, or locking

  • Reduced mobility or discomfort with daily activities

​

Common Knee Conditions We Treat

  • Arthritis (degenerative joint pain & stiffness)

  • Ligament injuries (ACL, PCL, MCL, LCL tears or sprains)

  • Meniscus injuries (tears, degeneration, locking knee)

  • Patellofemoral pain syndrome (kneecap pain, common in runners)

  • Patellar tendinopathy (jumper’s knee)

  • Post-surgical knee rehabilitation

​
