Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome (Runners Knee) and Chondromalacia- Can Chiropractic Help?
Do you get pain in the front of the knee?
Is the pain worse when you go up or down stairs?
It could be Runners Knee, the 4 main reasons for this development are
1. A slowed vastus medialis/lateralis response time
2. A decrease in explosive strength
3. A shortened quadriceps
4. A hypermobile patella
Pain and crepitus might also be observed in any squatting maneuver.
