Ligament injuries can happen after a sudden stop, twist, collision, or awkward landing and may cause swelling, pain, instability, or a feeling that the knee is giving way. Our Sports Medicine team can evaluate the injury and coordinate non-surgical care, rehabilitation, or orthopedic treatment when surgery may be needed.

A meniscus tear can happen during a twisting injury or develop gradually over time, causing pain, swelling, stiffness, catching, or locking in the joint. Treatment depends on the type and severity of the tear and may include activity modification, physical therapy, injections, or orthopedic evaluation.

Runner experiencing knee pain

Runner's Knee

Runner's knee commonly causes pain around or behind the kneecap, especially during running, stairs, squatting, or prolonged sitting.

It can affect runners and non-runners alike and is often related to overuse, muscle imbalance, or how the kneecap tracks during movement. Sports medicine treatment focuses on reducing pain while addressing the factors contributing to the problem.

Athlete with a knee tendon injury

Knee Tendon Injuries

Tendons connect muscles to bones and help power movement around the knee.

Patellar tendon and quadriceps tendon injuries may develop suddenly or from repetitive stress and can cause pain, tenderness, swelling, or weakness. Early evaluation can help determine the severity of the injury and the safest path back to activity.

Sports medicine care for a knee overuse injury

Knee Overuse Injuries

Repetitive running, jumping, training, or other activities can gradually irritate the tissues surrounding the knee.

Overuse injuries often begin as mild discomfort but can become more persistent without proper recovery and treatment. Our Sports Medicine team can help identify the source of the problem and create a plan that supports healing without unnecessarily sidelining you.
