PATELLOFEMORAL PAIN SYNDROME

Practical treatments of Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome include range of motion, flexibility and strengthening protocols for the surrounding muscles, including the gluteals, hamstrings, quadriceps and calves. Current research indicates that progressive, incremental strengthening regimes are an effective treatment tool for increasing pain free function and mitigating the progression of the condition.

Individuals who engage in active rehabilitation early are often able to return to function with minimal discomfort within 1-2 months. However, it is worth noting that pain may persist for some time afterwards. The current consensus for the best treatment method is a combination of exercise therapy, manual therapy, taping and foot orthotics. Surgery will not fix this condition. The general time taken to get better ranges from 2 weeks to 3-4 months depending on the case.
