Runner’s Knee, or patellofemoral pain syndrome, is a common overuse injury that affects the front of the knee, causing persistent pain and discomfort during running and other activities. It often develops due to repetitive stress, poor biomechanics, or misalignment of the patella, leading to inflammation and irritation. Proper treatment includes rest, physical therapy, strengthening exercises, and biomechanical corrections to alleviate pain and prevent recurrence.

Achilles Tendonitis is an overuse injury that affects the Achilles tendon, the thick band connecting the calf muscles to the heel bone. It leads to pain, swelling, and stiffness along the tendon, especially during activity or prolonged use. This condition commonly occurs in runners, athletes, and individuals with increased physical activity. Without proper treatment, it can worsen and lead to chronic pain or tendon damage. At Gangnam Nanoori Hospital, we provide advanced treatment options, including physical therapy, shockwave therapy, and minimally invasive procedures, to promote fast and effective recovery.

An Achilles tendon tear is a serious injury affecting the strong fibrous cord that connects the calf muscles to the heel bone. This injury commonly occurs during sudden movements, intense sports activities, or accidental missteps. It causes sharp pain, swelling, and difficulty walking, often leading to limited mobility and difficulty with daily activities. If left untreated, an Achilles tear can severely impact functionality and overall quality of life.
