Suffering From Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome?
๐ Patellofemoral pain syndrome (PFPS) describes a painful irritation of the cartilage behind your kneecap.
Although anyone may be affected, it is often the result of overuse of the knee in sports that require jumping or running so it is sometimes referred to as Runner's knee.
PFPS is the most common cause of knee pain in the general population, affecting an estimated 25% of adults.
If you or someone you know is suffering from PFPS our office can help! Check out this explainer video to learn more about the most common cause of knee pain. โถ๏ธ

Not surprisingly, dehydration is linked to a multitude of conditions, from headaches to heart disease. Check out these tips for optimal hydration.๐
