Chiropractic Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome treatments in Kansas City

Patellofemoral pain syndrome is a patellar tracking problem and is a term used to describe pain experienced at the knee involving the patellofemoral joint. The knee is a hinge joint and moves optimally in one plane of motion. The main joint of the knee is the tibiofemoral joint; as the knee flexes and extends the tibia moves along the femur, cushioned by the medial and lateral meniscus. The second joint of the knee is known as the patellofemoral joint, which consists of the knee cap and the femur. As the knee flexes and extends, the patella glides along the femur within the groove at the end of the femur. When movement at the patellofemoral joint is altered, pain can arise due to poor mechanics. Patellofemoral pain syndrome is common in runners and athletes whose sports involved running, jumping, medial/lateral movements and twisting/turning.
