Although basketball players and aerobics instructors are most at risk of damaging one of the most important soft tissues in the knee, anyone is susceptible. Patellar tendonitis is a crippling condition that needs expert patellar tendonitis treatment if you expect to remain as active as you’ve been. Experts at the Spine & Rehab Group in New York City and parts of New Jersey provide the best interventional treatment for patellar tendonitis, always employing the least invasive techniques first. You only need surgery if you suffer a patellar tendon tear. Call the closest office instead of continuing to live with knee pain. It’s so unnecessary when treatment is so nearby.
Patellar tendonitis is an injury to the patellar tendon, which joins your kneecap, called the patella, to your shin bone or tibia. The inflammation, swelling or irritation of the patellar tendon affects how your knee functions. This injury is also called jumper’s knee. If left untreated, it can lead to a patellar tendon tear, which causes even more pain in the knee, affecting your mobility and possibly requiring surgery to repair.
The patellar tendon is a critical component of the extensor mechanism of the knee, meaning it enables you to extend your knee fully. The tendon extends in length whenever you bend your knee. Tendonitis is a common injury affecting athletes, though anyone can develop the debilitating condition through an accident or overuse.
Because you can become immobile without functioning knees, patellar tendonitis requires immediate medical attention. Dr. Amr Hosny and the knee specialists at the Spine & Rehab Group can address this knee condition without surgery. Their facilities are conveniently located in New York City’s Financial District, Greenwich Village and Midtown Manhattan. In New Jersey, find knee pain relief in Paramus, Riverdale, Englewood Cliffs, Cranford and East Brunswick.

Any injury to the knee joint affects the quality of your life. An injury to the patellar tendon affects every active movement of the knee joint, including flexion, extension, medial rotation and lateral rotation. The pain and other symptoms affect your ability to perform daily tasks. Jumper’s knee symptoms include:
All these symptoms have a significant effect on your life. Dr. Hosny, a board certified, Harvard trained spine doctor and pain specialist, uses the latest technology to diagnose and treat patellar tendon pain and other knee conditions, including:

After going through about 70 visits for my reattached Rotator cuff and going through about 70 visits for my Achilles tendon reattachment therapy, I am pleased with the treatment and professionalism the three young ladies displayed. The first month of therapy on my shoulder was worse than Boot Camp! There were times I dreaded going. With the encouragement and professional knowledge of DPT Bethany and her team, I made it through. I have full movement in my shoulder that many other friends don't have from going to someone else. My Achilles therapy wasn't as painful as my shoulder but they worked me through it. I would recommend them very highly to any one that has this type of surgery and any other replacement surgery's that was performed. If you are going to some ware else and are not satisfied, go to Spine and Rehab Group. They are the best!!!!
Bobby M. ★★★★★Dr. Chu and the entire staff at Spine and Rehab are amazing! I tore the patellar tendon in my knee early in the ski season and expected to be sidelined until at least the following season. But Dr. Chu told me that I was an excellent candidate for stem cell therapy after talking to him about it. After the treatment, I was able to transition from using crutches to barely be capable of walking to walking easily and properly in just three weeks! I immediately went back to work and recently returned to the mountain. I have absolutely NO problems with my knee and it feels strong and durable.
