The knee is a very complex joint with many functions, including bending, straightening, twisting and rotating. It is comprised of bones, ligaments, tendons and cartilage that have to work in proper balance and synchronicity in order to meet the intense demands placed upon them.
There are many reasons for knee pain, but they can all be classified into three main groups. The first one is accident or injury, which happens as a consequence of impact or forceful action in the area. The second one is hereditary malfunction, which involves abnormal development of one or more of the tissues that comprise the knee structure. And the third and by far most common one is damage or deformity caused by improper motion due to leg misalignment. In this last case, both the source of the problem and the solution can be found in a faulty foot structure, due to a very common condition called partial talotarsal dislocation.
The treatments available to address knee pain range from creams and massages to complex surgeries and everything in-between. However, for the majority of patients who suffer from knee pain as a consequence of a leg misalignment, any of these treatments will only address the symptoms and will not resolve the real cause of their problem. Any permanent solution for these patients needs to include addressing the source of the abnormal forces acting on the structures of the knee, namely the excessive motion of the ankle bone on the hindfoot bones. Until the underlying cause for these conditions is addressed, the problems are bound to reappear and continue to worsen.
We invite you to learn more about your knee pain, about talotarsal dislocation and about HyProCure®, a permanent, minimally invasive solution that corrects the problem at its root.
