Searching for jumper’s knee treatment in the Fullerton area? If you live in or around Fullerton, CA, and are in need of patellar tendonitis treatment, look no further than Fullrange Spine in Ortho. Patellar tendonitis is a condition where the patellar tendon becomes inflamed, commonly caused by overuse/abuse of the knee joint. It is a particular injury seen from victims frequently jumping on hard surfaces, hence the name jumper’s knee. Full Range Spine & Ortho, serving Fullerton and the surrounding areas, provides non-surgical patellar tendonitis, or jumper’s knee, treatment.
The patellar tendon connects the kneecap (patella) to the shin bone (tibia). Overuse or abuse can weaken this tendon and possibly tear. Repeated stress on this tendon causes it to become inflamed, which is the body’s signal to stop the activity producing the stress before serious injury occurs.
The most common symptoms of jumper’s knee also appear as symptoms of other knee conditions. This means an accurate diagnosis is imperative to getting the proper treatment. Common symptoms of patellar tendonitis include swelling, pain when walking, running, jumping, bending or straightening the leg and tenderness behind the kneecap.
