Patellar tendonitis, commonly known as jumper’s knee, is a common overuse injury affecting athletes and active individuals. The condition occurs when the patellar tendon, which connects the kneecap to the shinbone, becomes irritated or overloaded from repetitive stress.
At Realign Chiro Physio & Rehab, we provide comprehensive patellar tendonitis treatment in Langley designed to reduce pain, restore knee function, and help patients safely return to sports and activity.
This injury is frequently seen in athletes who participate in:
Basketball
Volleyball
Running
Soccer
Gym training
Jumping sports
Our clinic combines chiropractic care, physiotherapy in Langley, shockwave therapy, and soft tissue treatment to address the underlying causes of jumper’s knee and promote long-term recovery.
Many patients with knee tendon pain also experience related issues such as muscle tightness, poor movement mechanics, or overtraining. Our goal is not only to reduce pain but also to correct the biomechanical factors contributing to the injury. Our clinic also provides comprehensive knee pain treatment in Langley for many knee injuries.
If you are experiencing the following symptoms, you may benefit from patellar tendonitis treatment in Langley:
✔ Pain just below the kneecap
✔ Knee pain during jumping or running
✔ Tenderness in the patellar tendon
✔ Stiffness after sports or exercise
✔ Pain when climbing stairs or squatting
✔ Knee discomfort after prolonged activity
Early treatment is important because untreated patellar tendon injuries can gradually worsen and limit athletic performance.
Patellar tendonitis occurs when repetitive stress causes irritation and micro-tearing in the patellar tendon. This tendon plays a critical role in knee extension and absorbs significant force during jumping, running, and explosive movements.
When the tendon becomes overloaded, it may develop inflammation, degeneration, or chronic pain.
Athletes with jumper’s knee often notice pain during activities that involve:
Jumping or landing
Sprinting
Squatting
Stair climbing
If left untreated, patellar tendonitis may progress to chronic patellar tendinopathy, which can make recovery longer and more difficult.
Many athletes with jumper’s knee also experience general knee pain in Langley, which may involve multiple structures around the knee joint.
Several factors can contribute to patellar tendonitis:
