Orthotics and Knee Pain
Knee pain is a very common issue, but not all types of knee pain are the same. In this article, we will discuss the most common types of knee pain and if orthotics can help manage the symptoms.

Knees
Runner's Knee (Chondromalacia)
Chondromalacia, also known as patellofemoral stress syndrome, occurs when the kneecap rubs against the lower end of the femur – the thighbone – instead of gliding smoothly over it.

Knees
Bursitis
Bursitis is the inflammation or irritation of your bursa, the fluid-filled cushions that protect your body’s joints. These cushions help you absorb shock, keep your joints moving smoothly, and prevent irritation from where your tendons and ligaments pass over your bones.
