Whether you tore your ACL, can't squat without pain, or can't run and play with your kids, our physical therapists will build the rehab plan to get you back in the game.
The meniscus is the rubbery cartilage that cushions the knee between your thigh bone and shinbone. It usually tears during a hard twist or pivot with your weight on the leg, and can cause swelling, stiffness, catching or trouble fully straightening the knee.
The cartilage that cushions the ends of the bones gradually wears down. Expect pain during or after activity, stiffness first thing in the morning, lost range of motion and a grinding or crackling feeling when you move.
Irritation of the tendon that connects your kneecap to your shinbone. Common in jumping sports like basketball and volleyball, it starts as pain below the kneecap when you jump or warm up and can build until stairs and getting out of a chair hurt.
The same overuse problem as jumper's knee, but in the tendon just above the kneecap where the quadriceps attaches. When repeated stress outpaces the tendon's ability to repair, you feel it on stairs, squats, runs and jumps.
Arthritis in the joint behind your kneecap, where the cartilage under the patella wears down. It usually shows up as a dull ache at the front of the knee with stairs, squatting, kneeling or after sitting for a long time.
Sprains and tears of the ligaments that hold the knee steady side to side (MCL and LCL) and front to back (PCL). Usually caused by a hit to the knee, an awkward landing or a sudden twist, they bring pain, swelling and a knee that feels like it could give out.
The MPFL is the band of tissue on the inside of the kneecap that keeps it from sliding outward. It stretches or tears when the kneecap dislocates, leaving pain, swelling and a kneecap you don't trust when you plant, pivot or squat.
A total knee replacement swaps a joint worn down by arthritis for an implant. Rehab starts right away to get the knee bending and straightening, rebuild your strength, and get you walking, handling stairs and back to what you enjoy.
A pull or tear in one of the three muscles along the back of your thigh. It usually hits with a sudden, sharp pain, sometimes a pop, followed by swelling, tenderness and possible bruising.
Quad, calf and other muscle strains around the knee, from a mild overstretch to a partial tear. They cause pain, swelling, weakness and limited movement until the muscle is rebuilt.
