How to Prevent and Manage Chondromalacia Patella (Runner's Knee) EffectivelyHow to Prevent and Manage Chondromalacia Patella (Runner's Knee) Effectively
Chondromalacia patella, or runner's knee, involves softening and breakdown of cartilage under the kneecap, causing knee pain during activities like climbing stairs. Common in athletes and others, it results from overuse, misalignment, or injury. Preventive measures include strengthening and stretching exercises, proper footwear, and avoiding stress-inducing movements. Early intervention throughChondromalacia patella, or runner's knee, involves softening and breakdown of cartilage under the kneecap, causing knee pain during activities like climbing stairs. Common in athletes and others, it results from overuse, misalignment, or injury. Preventive measures include strengthening and stretching exercises, proper footwear, and avoiding stress-inducing movements. Early intervention through physical therapy and weight management is vital to prevent worsening. Long-term management focuses on maintaining knee function with ongoing exercises and activity modifications; surgery is seldom necessary. Medical advice should be sought for persistent pain or swelling. Understanding causes, treatment options, and recovery timelines aids effective management and reduces arthritis risk.
