Physical Therapy in Hazle Township for Knee
Welcome to FYZICAL Hazleton's patient resource about Quadriceps Tendonitis.
Alignment or overuse problems of the knee structures can lead to strain, irritation, and/or injury of the quadriceps muscle and tendon. This produces pain, weakness, and swelling of the knee joint.
These problems can affect people of all ages but the majority of patients with overuse injuries of the knee (and specifically quadriceps tendonitis) are involved in soccer, volleyball, or running activities.
This guide will help you understand:
- how the problem develops
- how doctors diagnose the condition
- what treatment options are available
