Conditions & Treatments for Knee Pain

The knee is a weight-bearing joint and is supported by ligaments on each side which cross over the knee cap. Its hinged design is less stable than a ball-and-socket joint and more prone to injury. Luckily, because the knee is comparatively accessible, treatment may be more easily administered compared to other joints like the shoulder and hip joints.
