Injuries We Treat Most: Hip & Knee Pain
We treat a wide range of joint and soft-tissue conditions—especially in active and athletic populations.
Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome (Runner’s Knee)
Pain around or behind the kneecap due to improper tracking, weakness, or overuse. Common in runners, cyclists, and those doing lots of squats or stairs.
IT Band Syndrome
Friction and tightness along the outer thigh that causes pain on the outside of the knee or hip—especially during running or downhill walking.
Hip Impingement (FAI)
Structural issues in the hip joint can cause pinching during deep flexion or rotation, leading to sharp groin or front-hip pain.
Hip Labral Tear
Damage to the cartilage ring around the hip socket, common in athletes and dancers. May present with clicking, sharp pain, or restricted range.
Gluteal Tendinopathy / Bursitis
Pain on the outer hip, especially when lying on that side or during single-leg movements like walking or climbing stairs.
Patellar Tendinopathy (Jumper’s Knee)
Pain at the base of the kneecap, often from repetitive jumping, lifting, or running.
Meniscus Injury
Cartilage damage in the knee that causes locking, clicking, or pain with twisting or deep bending. Common in both athletes and aging adults.
Hip or Knee Osteoarthritis
Joint degeneration over time leading to stiffness, inflammation, and reduced function—often worse after inactivity.
Muscle Imbalances / Core Weakness
Weak glutes or poor core engagement often lead to compensations at the knee or hip during walking, lifting, or sport.
Symptoms We Commonly See:
- Pain in the front of the knee or around the kneecap
- Groin, outer hip, or deep buttock discomfort
- Clicking, locking, or catching in the knee or hip
- Stiffness after sitting or first thing in the morning
- Discomfort with stairs, running, squatting, or lunging
- Weakness or giving way during movement
- Pain with prolonged standing or walking
- Loss of hip rotation or knee bending
Our team is trained in manual therapy, dry needling, and advanced movement assessment to pinpoint the exact cause of your pain and create a plan that gets you back to doing what you love—without pain.
