When you think about your knees, you most likely don’t consider how much these joints support and stabilize your body or the range of motion they allow. Because they bear the full weight of your body every day, these joints are susceptible to injury due to aging, deterioration, strain, trauma, and repetitive injuries.
Whether you're an athlete, an older adult, or someone whose work takes a toll on their knees, an injury such as an ACL or meniscus tear can be a serious problem. When left untreated, the pain from such an injury can become debilitating and prevent you from engaging in the activities you enjoy.
