Knee Conditions

Repetitive stress on the knee joint can cause sprains, strains, fractures, or tears. Regular wear and tear, pressure from athletic activities, and aging may cause knee conditions.

Knee Conditions

With every step, the knees absorb the weight of the entire upper body, putting a tremendous amount of pressure on them. This is why the following knee injuries and conditions are so frequent:

  • Torn meniscus
  • Torn ligaments, including anterior cruciate ligament (ACL)
  • Osteoarthritis in the knee
  • Articular Cartilage damage
  • Synovial tissue damage
  • Bone and cartilage fragments
