Knee Pain & Injuries

The knee is a complex joint prone to injuries and general wear. Below are the most common conditions we treat:

Common Conditions

  • ACL Tears (sudden pop or instability, swelling, pain with weight-bearing)
  • Meniscus Tears
  • Patellar Tendinitis ("Jumper's Knee")
  • Osteoarthritis
  • MCL / LCL Injuries
  • Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome (Runner's Knee)
  • Bursitis (inflammation and swelling)
  • Fractures (kneecap, femur, or tibia near the knee)
  • Dislocations

Many knee injuries and degenerative conditions can be successfully treated without surgery, especially when caught early. Our nonsurgical options include physical therapy, medication, injections, bracing and support, and activity modification. When conservative treatments aren't enough, we often turn to arthroscopic surgery, a minimally invasive approach using small incisions and a camera.

Whatever your condition, our goal is simple: relieve pain, restore function, and get you moving again with confidence.
