Chondromalacia patella is also referred to as runner’s knee. It is a medical condition in which the cartilage under the surface of the kneecap begins to soften and deteriorate. This condition is commonly seen in athletic individuals but may also occur in adults who have arthritis. It is a condition that is often due to an overuse injury in sports. If you are looking for natural relief from chondromalacia patella, our professional staff is here to help. At Balanced Medical Health Medical in Manhattan, we provide chiropractic care to improve your health and prevent runner’s knee from reoccurring in the future.
Improper kneecap movement is usually what causes chondromalacia patella. If any component of the knee fails to move properly when you bend your leg, it can result in your kneecap rubbing against your thighbone. Improper kneecap movement can result from:
People with chondromalacia will typically notice pain in and around the knee area as one of the most common symptoms. Another common symptom is experiencing cracking or grinding in the knee while extending or bending the leg. The pain may worsen after sitting for long periods of time or performing activities that involve a lot of pressure on your knees.
Certain factors may increase your risk of developing chondromalacia, including:
Chiropractic care is essential for properly treating chondromalacia patella. During your first consultation, our chiropractors will examine your medical history and your knee for a complete understanding of your chondromalacia patella. From there, we will provide strengthening and stretching exercises to improve the muscular balance of your knee and surrounding structures. Misalignments in the low back and pelvis can also cause imbalances in the knees that contribute to chondromalacia patella. Our chiropractors can gently move any misaligned segments in the lower back or pelvis to reduce pain and improve the affected knee.
