Some examples of knee conditions that require treatment are: a dislocated knee cap, quadriceps tendonitis, prepatellar bursitis, iliotibial band syndrome,ligament and cartilage injuries, Osgood-Schlatter’s Disease and osteoarthritis. Please call Queen West Physiotherapy & Acupuncture if you have any questions about these conditions.

Often,people complain of “clicking” or “grinding” and sometimes that the knee “catches” or wants to “give way”. Causes can include pronated(flat)feet, overuse or weak inner thigh muscles. Often, a muscle strengthening program is very helpful helpful as well as taping, orthotics, and a wide array of physiotherapy techniques.
