Kneeoffers multiple locations in Wisconsin, with an additional location in Western Pennsylvania.

The knee is the most commonly injured joint in all age groups. It is especially susceptible to damage during athletic activities and exercise. The majority of knee injuries can be treated conservatively with rest, ice, mobilization, and physical therapy. Whether your knee pain is related to some structure in your knee or it is back related leg pain, treatment by a physical therapist will point your in the right direction! Some common causes of knee pain and injuries include:

• A blow to the knee, either from contact during sports, a fall or a car accident
• Repeated stress or overuse, which may occur from playing sports or any other activity that requires frequent repetition.
• Sudden turning, pivoting, stopping, cutting from side to side, which happens frequently during certain sports.
• Awkward landings from a fall or from jumping during sports, such as basketball.
• Rapidly growing bones, which are especially prone to injury during sports.
• Degeneration from aging.
