Injuries to the Ligaments of the Knee

At Dynamic Physiotherapy we’re experts in all types of knee injuries. Here we detail the key ligaments within the knee and their functions, the common causes and three stages of knee injury, as well as treatment options available for various knee injuries.

Knee Meniscus Injuries / Tears

Knee menisci injuries and tears can result in pain and inflammation, and limit one’s ability to twist or straighten one’s knee. Dynamic Physiotherapy offers unique treatment depending on the state of the injury and the meniscus affected, and can refer appropriate medical professionals if necessary.

Shin Splints

Shin splints can often occur to athletes, dancers and military personnel, as well as those who recently changed their exercise routine. Shin splints result in pain and inflammation in the lower leg, and if left untreated, can progress into a worse injury, so it’s important that they be treated as soon as possible.

Patellofemoral Syndrome

Patellofemoral Syndrome refers to degenerative changes experienced around the front of the knee, near the patella bone specifically. Because the patella cartilage is built to be almost frictionless, and facilitates healthy movement of the knee and leg, injuries here can be quite painful. Dynamic Physiotherapy’s treatment and products focus on the reduction of pain, inflammation and swelling, and the improvement of the knee’s range of motion.
