The knee is a complex joint involving numerous structures. Pain and discomfort can be felt almost anywhere in or around the knee and the repetitive nature of movements involved in many sports can often induce or exacerbate it. Malalignment or overuse of the knee can result in many conditions which can be diagnosed by a podiatrist. Further information about any relevant conditions will be given at your appointment.
