Biomechanical Knee Pain
Running can make your . I had an email last week from a relatively new runner asking who they should see for their knee pain. I asked if they twisted, fell, or jammed their knee or if it was just a wear and tear injury? They confided that as they increased their mileage and distance, their knee pain started to increase. New shoes helped, but didn’t fix their nagging pain. Just kidding!
Seriously, mechanically induced knee pain is common in runners. A good analogy is that if you need a on your car, the struts can wear out. Many people actually have no pain in their feet, but they are the cause of their knee symptoms.
The best way to assess a runner’s knee problem is to start with a sports medicine orthopedist who can rule out a primary knee problem, like a tear in the meniscus (cartilage), ligaments or tendons. If a primary knee problem is ruled out, but you just keep having this nagging pain; or if your tendonitis keeps recurring in spite of being compliant with physical therapy and rest; it’s time to look elsewhere for the cause.

Many studies have concluded that a functional orthotic reduces postural sway and improves stability, therefore reduces further injury in patients with congenital or acquired foot and ankle instability.
How is biomechanical knee pain treated? A complete biomechancial exam can help to assess how to realign your feet and lower extremities. Functional orthotics can be made to precisely fix your foot deformities and functional abnormalities.
