Getting your knee pain treated in Singapore

Knee pain can be caused by injuries, mechanical problems or medical conditions.

You have to distinguish which types of knee pain you’re having before you seek for the treatment.

Knee injuries occur on ligaments, tendons, or fluid- file sacs that surround your knee joint.

Common Knee Injuries

•  ACL Injury: Common in people who play sports that require sudden changes in direction. Such as badminton, basketball, tennis.

•  Fractures: The bones of the knee, including the kneecap (patella), can be broken during motor vehicle collisions or falls.

•  Torn Meniscus

•  Knee Bursitis: Some knee injuries cause inflammation in the bursae.

•  Patellar tendinitis: Inflammation of one or more tendons. Common in runners, skiers, cyclists.
