Knee Pain in Children

Hi everybody! Happy St. Patricks's day! Today we had a family come into the office with a 13-year-old boy who is experiencing knee pain in both knees. This young man play soccer three times a week, and is quite active on his non-soccer days as well. Dr. Michael performed a postural and foot exam on him and diagnosed him with jumper's knee (Ddx Patello Femoral Syndrome). Custom orthotics have been recommended coupled with adequate rest, warm-up, cool down, and stretches.

Dr. Michael Horowitz offers a 5-Step process to successfully treating this condition.  He can help evaluate & diagnose your condition and recommend the best course of action for you. Call Vancouver Orthotics at 604-737-3668 for more information.
