Understanding Patella Tendonitis/ Tendinopathy
Patella Tendonitis, also known as Tendinopathy or Jumper's Knee, is a common injury characterized by inflammation or degeneration of the patellar tendon, which connects the kneecap (patella) to the shinbone (tibia). It often occurs due to repetitive stress or overuse, especially in activities involving jumping or running.
Symptoms can include:
Pain and tenderness around the lower part of the kneecap
Swelling or thickening of the tendon
Stiffness and difficulty with bending or straightening the knee
Pain worsens with activity or after prolonged sitting

“Dr. Greg is the best! He’s helped me with my hamstring and getting me to run pain free again. After 10 years of not running more than once a month, I am now able to run a few times a week. He’s a former runner so he really knows his stuff. We refer all of our family and friends to him!” Alathea B.
