Knee Pain
About
Knee injury symptoms can develop from everyday wear and tear, overuse, or injury. Knee injury and pain most often occur during sports or recreational activities.
“When dealing with a chronic knee injury, the entire leg should be assessed. Often, imbalances in the lower back, hip and/or ankle can be the underlying root cause of knee pain”- Andrew Cunningham
Patella Tendonitis
The patella tendon is located between the patella (kneecap) and the bony prominence on the shin known as the tibial tuberosity. Due to its attachment locations, the patella tendon helps to carry out a kicking motion, as it allows the force from the quadriceps muscles to cross the knee joint.
Patella tendonitis occurs when the tendon becomes irritated and inflamed. This condition is also known as ‘jumper’s knee’ as it is most commonly seen in athletes who jump repeatedly.
Causes of Patella Tendonitis:
It is caused by a repetitive overload of the tendon, where the body cannot heal the small damage unless the aggravating activity is stopped. Patella tendonitis usually presents with pain over the tendon itself. It can be tender and swollen and a crunching noise may be noticed upon activity. Aggravating activities include jumping, kneeling or kicking.
Treatment of Patella Tendonitis
A common recommendation is the RICE protocol (rest, ice, compression, elevation). It is important to rest during this condition and to eliminate aggravating activities so that healing can begin. After progressing with treatment it is important to strengthen the quadricep muscles and associated tendons by completing eccentric muscle strengthening programmes.
Meniscus Tear
Meniscus tear is a common injury that affects the knee joint. The meniscus are ‘C’ shaped discs, made of tough cartilage called fibrocartilage. They are positioned on the tibial plateau (top surface of the shin bone) between the tibia (shin bone) and the femur (thigh bone) and are important for distributing load and absorbing shock at the knee joint. There are two menisci within each knee joint.
Patella Tracking Syndrome
- Patella Tracking Syndrome is a very common injury in Runners
- The Patella is pulled slightly out of position due to a muscle imbalance around the knee
- Symptoms include pain when squatting, walking downstairs, taking off shoes, kicking, jumping
- The gold standard conservative treatments to realign the patella are: Dry Needling (Musculoskeletal Acupuncture), ITB stretching, Dynamic leg swings and quadriceps strengthening (with a particular emphasis on the inside muscle fibres of the quadricep- Vastas Medialis).
