Knee injuries are common in athletes, accounting for 41 percent of all athletic injuries. But knee injuries aren’t limited to competitive athletes. In our everyday lives, an accident or a quick movement in the wrong direction can injure the knee and require medical treatment. A quarter of the adult population worldwide experiences knee pain each year
As a physical therapist and board-certified orthopedic specialist, I help patients of all ages with knee injuries and degenerative conditions.
Your knees have a huge impact on your mobility and overall quality of life, so it’s important to prevent knee problems whenever possible and address pain in these joints with appropriate treatments.
Healthy Knees
The knee joint bones consist of the femur, tibia, and patella. As in all healthy joints, smooth cartilage covers the surfaces of the bones, forming the joints and allowing for controlled movement.
