What Caused My Knee Pain?

Knee injuries are prevalent due to the joint’s complexity and the daily stress it endures. Our clinic focuses on the most common types of knee injuries:

ACL Injuries: The anterior cruciate ligament, crucial for knee stability, often tears during sports involving sudden stops or direction changes.

MCL and PCL Injuries: The medial and posterior cruciate ligaments can be injured through direct impact or twisting movements.

Meniscus Tears: These involve damage to the knee cartilage, usually resulting from twisting or over-flexing the knee joint.

Recognizing the symptoms of a knee injury is key to effective treatment. Symptoms often include:

  • N Pain and swelling in the knee
  • N A popping or snapping sensation
  • N Difficulty bending or straightening the leg
