Patellar Tendonitis: Everything You Need To Know (Jumper's Knee)

Jumper's knee causes pain in the front of the knee often right below the knee cap. It tends to happen in people who are very active or even in competitive sports. The symptoms of jumper's knee can vary a lot, but are generally all in the front of the knee. Diagnosing jumper's knee is very straightforward from a doctor's perspective... they're looking for pain in the front of the knee and for you to tell them that you're doing a lot running and jumping. But treatment is where the healthcare industry can stand to improve. Most treatment focuses on resting and using medication, but that doesn't take care of the root cause of jumper's knee (also known at knee tendonitis). In this video, Dr. David shares everything you need to know about jumper's knee including details about the symptoms, diagnosis, and the treatment. He also explains the root cause of jumper's knee so that you can understand how it happens and how to fix it without relying on pain medications, injections, or surgery. ▶️ In case you need it, here is a playlist with more videos that might be helpful for you: "Runner's Knee And Jumper's Knee Help Playlist"    • Runner's Knee and Jumper's Knee Help   📚 Get comprehensive help to fix your patella pain at the root of the problem with our Patella Pain Recovery Program: https://www.epmanualphysicaltherapy.c... ⭐️ Want to learn about a patient’s journey?
