Your knee takes on an incredible amount of force and pressure during movement – often over three or four times your body weight. This makes knee injury a common occurrence for many – and makes treating them effectively and in a timely manner even more important.

This is one of our specialities here at Masterton Foot Clinic. We always make sure to take the function and structure of the entire lower limbs into account so that we not only treat your current problem now – but also help prevent it from returning in the future.

Runner’s Knee

Medically known as patellofemoral pain syndrome, runner’s knee causes pain behind and around the kneecap. Despite its name and high prevalence in runners, anyone can develop this painful problem.

Jumper’s Knee

Medically known as patellar tendinopathy, jumper’s knee describes damage to, and painful inflammation of, the patellar tendon as it works to help bend and straighten the knee.

Bursitis

Bursae are like small cushions that sit between your tendons or muscles, and the bones close to them. When your feet or legs move, your muscles and tendons glide against the lubricating bursa instead of against nearby bones, which would cause friction and pain, thereby protecting your body from injury.

Iliotibial Band Syndrome

Iliotibial band syndrome (ITBS) causes pain on the outside of the knee joint, where the iliotibial band gets injured from rubbing against a bony bump on the outside of the knee joint.

Knee Ligament Injury

There are four primary ligaments in and around the knee that work to stabilise the joint and control its movement. Damage to any one of these can leave the knee feeling weak, unstable, stiff and painful.

Popliteal Cyst

Otherwise known as a Baker’s cyst, this is a palpable mass that develops at the back of the knee, caused by a swollen bursa.

Meniscus Tear

Your menisci are the cushioning pads that sit within your knee joint. When they are overloaded, they can tear, causing pain, swelling, and difficulty bearing weight on the affected leg.

What people say…

Receptionists. So lovely. Welcoming smiles, and very approachable. Very comfortable chairs, easy to sit and stand up. Great for people with mobility issues. My appointment time was spot on. A very professional podiatrist. Brian Hudson. I was embarrassed with my feet condition. Brian listened and put me at ease. My appointment time went fast..but so much was achieved in greatly getting rid of my feet pain. Arriving in pain 9/10 and to be reduced to a pain level 3 on leaving the clinic. The next morning my pain level is 1. It Feels so good to be nearly complete pain free after such a very long period of time.

First time visiting a podiatrist and I was so impressed by the friendly, welcoming staff! Jess was so professional, kind and clearly knows a lot about feet! She explained my treatment plan really clearly so I knew exactly what to expect. Lovely Ali at reception was gorgeous too – super helpful and friendly. I’m very happy to drive over from Palmy for my future appointments. I don’t usually write reviews but really wanted to support such a great business!

Adam has a very friendly and professional manner. The procedure on my son’s toe was well explained whilst making him feel at ease. We were seen at short notice which was very much appreciated also. Adam has given us a thorough treatment plan and followed this up with email including photos.

Adam was brilliant and is a superb listener. I walked out with hope in my heart. The receptionist was lovely and easy to talk to. Thanks!

We traveled from Taranaki several times to visit Adam and his team for treatment of toe nail fungus. They are diligent, considerate and dedicated people. Highly recommend.
