Benefits of Physical Therapy and Chiropractic Care for Treating Knee Tendon Bursitis (Pes Anserine Bursitis)
At ASR Sports Medicine in Miami, we specialize in treating Knee Tendon Bursitis (Pes Anserine Bursitis), a condition that causes pain and inflammation around the inner knee. By integrating physical therapy and chiropractic care, we provide effective, non-invasive solutions to alleviate pain, restore mobility, and prevent recurrence.
What is Knee Tendon Bursitis (Pes Anserine Bursitis)?
Pes Anserine Bursitis occurs when the bursa, a small fluid-filled sac located between the tendons and the shinbone (tibia), becomes inflamed. The bursa reduces friction during movement, but excessive stress or injury can lead to irritation and swelling.
Common Causes of Pes Anserine Bursitis:
Overuse or repetitive stress on the knee joint.
Incorrect biomechanics or poor posture during activities.
Weakness or tightness in surrounding muscles.
Direct trauma to the inner knee.
Obesity, which increases strain on the knee.
Medical conditions such as osteoarthritis or diabetes.
Symptoms of Pes Anserine Bursitis:
Pain or tenderness on the inner knee, below the kneecap.
Swelling or warmth in the affected area.
Discomfort when climbing stairs or bending the knee.
Stiffness or limited range of motion in the knee.
Pain that worsens during physical activity.
How ASR Sports Medicine Treats Knee Tendon Bursitis
At ASR Sports Medicine, we take a personalized approach to treating Pes Anserine Bursitis. Combining physical therapy and chiropractic care helps address both the symptoms and underlying causes of the condition.
Physical Therapy for Pes Anserine Bursitis
Physical therapy focuses on reducing inflammation, restoring mobility, and strengthening the muscles around the knee to alleviate pain and improve function.
Key Benefits of Physical Therapy:
Pain Relief: Manual therapy and therapeutic modalities, such as ultrasound or ice therapy, reduce inflammation and pain.
Improved Flexibility: Stretching exercises target tight hamstrings, quadriceps, and hip flexors to enhance mobility.
Strengthening Exercises: Focused exercises strengthen the knee and hip muscles, reducing strain on the bursa.
Corrected Biomechanics: Therapists address improper movement patterns that contribute to bursitis.
Personalized Recovery Plans: Treatment programs are tailored to the patient’s specific needs and lifestyle.
Our experienced physical therapists work closely with patients to ensure a safe and effective recovery process.
Chiropractic Care for Pes Anserine Bursitis
Chiropractic care complements physical therapy by focusing on joint alignment, which promotes proper biomechanics and reduces stress on the knee.
Key Benefits of Chiropractic Care:
Joint Adjustments: Gentle realignment of the knee, hip, or lower back reduces unnecessary strain on the bursa.
Inflammation Reduction: Chiropractic techniques improve circulation, aiding in the reduction of swelling.
Non-Invasive Relief: Chiropractic care provides effective, drug-free pain management.
Enhanced Joint Function: Adjustments optimize movement in the knee and related joints, improving overall mobility.
Preventative Care: Regular maintenance adjustments help prevent recurring bursitis and related issues.
Chiropractic care provides immediate and lasting relief, supporting overall recovery and knee health.
