Knee pain.
Painful symptoms of the knee can directly relate to poor foot posture and alignment that put load on the tendons, ligaments and joints.
Your Podiatrist will be able to assess if your foot type is contributing to your knee or hip symptoms. Knee pain is commonly encountered in running activities, bike riding and in children.
Assessment of your walking, running or bike posture and a thorough physical examination is essential.
Common knee conditions our Podiatrist can assist with :
- Patello femoral joint dysfuction( PFJ) where pain is experienced in the front of the knee cap
- Iliotibial band syndrome( ITb)- a painful condition in the tissue on the outside of the knee
- Patella tendonitis
- Osteoarthritis
- Osgood schlatters- a condition seen in the growth plate below the knee in adolescents that are active and often exhibiting poor foot posture and strength.
Our Podiatrists at Peninsula Foot Clinic will be able to assess your knee complaints, and formulate an appropriate management plan.
They will be able to assist you with strategies to care for your knees.This could be with a strength and conditioning program, or orthotics to assist with abnormal biomechanics or posture.
