Knee & Leg

The knee and leg are made up of a complex network of bones, muscles, ligaments, and tendons that all work together to support movement and stability. Whether you are running, bending, or simply walking, this system is constantly in motion. Because of its complexity and frequent use, effective treatment for knee and leg pain requires skilled evaluation and specialized care.

MCL Tear (Medial Collateral Ligament Tear)

Injury to the ligament on the inner side of the knee, usually caused by impact or twisting.

Meniscus Tear

Tear in the cartilage (meniscus) that cushions the knee joint. Often caused by twisting while bearing weight.

Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome (Runner’s Knee)

Pain at the front of the knee, often from overuse, improper alignment, or muscle imbalances.

Degenerative joint disease causing cartilage breakdown, leading to stiffness and pain in the knee.
