Knee, Ankle + Foot Pain
Knee Osteoarthritis
Knee osteoarthritis is a degenerative joint disease characterized by the gradual wearing away of the cartilage in the knee joint, which serves as a cushion between the bones. As the cartilage deteriorates, it leads to increased friction between the bones, causing pain, swelling, stiffness, and decreased mobility over time. This condition can significantly impact daily activities and quality of life. Osteoarthritis is more common in older adults but can also be influenced by factors such as genetics, previous joint injuries, and excessive weight.
Patellar Tendinitis
This condition, similar to jumper’s knee, involves inflammation or irritation of the patellar tendon, which is the connective tissue that links the kneecap to the shinbone. It is commonly seen in athletes, especially those who engage in sports or activities that require frequent jumping or running. The repetitive stress placed on the tendon during these activities can lead to pain and discomfort, potentially affecting an athlete's performance and mobility.
Plantar Fasciitis
Plantar fasciitis is the inflammation of the plantar fascia, a tissue band connecting the heel to the toes. Common in runners and those on their feet for long hours, it causes heel pain, especially after rest. It can impair walking and standing. Treatment includes stretching, proper footwear, and physical therapy to ease pain and aid recovery.
Morton's Neuroma
Morton's neuroma is a painful foot condition that causes sharp, burning pain between the toes due to tissue thickening around a nerve. It can feel like a pebble in the shoe and may cause tingling, numbness, or pressure. Common causes include tight shoes, high heels, high-impact sports, and foot deformities.
