OVERVIEW
Knee pain is not uncommon and
can affect people of any age. It
can be very challenging and
make it difficult for you to get
around and do all the activities
you enjoy. The knee is a complex
joint and pain may occur in the front, back or either side
of the knee. The pain may result from a congenital
deformity, trauma such as an accident or sports injury, or
from wear and tear over the years.
If you are experiencing knee pain or knee instability, or if
you have swelling, are limping, or cannot move your knee,
you should seek the advice of a knee specialist. Our
providers are fellowship-trained in conditions and injuries
affecting the knee, and the therapeutic knee treatments
as well as all types of minor and major knee surgeries.
