Knee pain comes in many varieties since your knee is the largest and most complex joint in your body. Patellofemoral pain syndrome usually appears in the front of your knee, around your kneecap. It makes bending your knee pain, which limits your mobility. Call the knee experts at the Spine & Rehab Group, with offices in New York City and across northern New Jersey to get the pain relief you want and the healing you need.
Patellofemoral pain syndrome affects the front part of your knee, including the area surrounding the kneecap. One in four cases of knee injury is diagnosed as runner’s knee or jumper’s knee, another name for patellofemoral pain syndrome. Adolescent girls and women younger than 60 are twice as likely as men to end up with this type of sports injury.
Patellofemoral pain requires a thorough examination by an experienced knee specialist like Dr. Amr Hosny at the Spine & Rehab Group. With eight locations in Bergen County, Union County, Morris County, NJ, and Manhattan, NYC, you can find a knee specialist near you. Get the right diagnosis so you can get the best treatment for patellofemoral pain syndrome.
When you bend or straighten your knees, the kneecap moves up and down in a groove that’s located in your femur or thigh bone. When the muscles in your buttocks and thighs are weak or stiff, this movement takes more effort. Over time, you may develop knee pain every time you bend or straighten your knees because the kneecaps aren’t properly tracking in the groove.
If you don’t have the condition treated in a timely manner, your knee pain increases, and you may be doing more damage to the joint. While there are many factors that influence whether you develop patellofemoral pain syndrome, some of the more common ways you can end up with damaged knees include:

Anne ★★★★★I went to Dr. Hosny with lower back pain. I spend many hours sitting in a truck for my job. After an hour or so I would get pain in my back.

I would recommend anyone go to Dr. Hosny if they want real results.
Jeff ★★★★★I had gone to Dr. Hosny with severe back pain after spinal surgery. It was debilitating pain that stopped me from being able to function normally.

My experience at the pain center was wonderful. The nurses were very understanding and kind.

Jen ★★★★★I had been having pain in my neck for many years. I had been to other doctors and they all recommended that I have surgery. I was hesitant to get surgery, so I wanted one more opinion. I had a friend tell me about Dr. Hosny and New Jersey Pain Care Center. From the moment I met Dr. Hosny I knew he wasn’t your average doctor. He took the time to listen to my concerns about surgery, and he agreed. After my cervical radiofrequency, I have full range of motion back in my neck, and best of all, no pain.
SharonOnce your doctor has determined the cause of your pain, the first level of treatment may be pain management. You can start by taking over-the-counter pain medications and resting your knees.
