Suffering From Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome?
๐ Patellofemoral pain syndrome (PFPS) describes a painful irritation of the cartilage behind your kneecap.
Although anyone may be affected, it is often the result of overuse of the knee in sports that require jumping or running so it is sometimes referred to as Runner's knee.
PFPS is the most common cause of knee pain in the general population, affecting an estimated 25% of adults.
If you or someone you know is suffering from PFPS our office can help! Check out this explainer video to learn more about the most common cause of knee pain. โถ๏ธ

Researchers have found that patients improve faster when they repeatedly imagine painlessly performing an activity or exercise in their mind. This type of training is called motor imagery.
Motor imagery starts by resting in a comfortable position, then repeatedly imagine performing a (previously uncomfortable) activity without any pain, i.e., imagine bending over with NO trouble. So next time youโre in pain, try using motor imagery. Then give us a call to see if chiropractic care can help even more. ๐
