Case Study on Jim’s Patello-Femoral Pain Syndrome
Jim is a 25-year-old male with a 6-month history of right knee pain that came on gradually while he was at the gym. He noticed it most when playing football and doing squats and lunges at the gym. Jim decided to have a two-week rest from activities but when he played football again the pain came back.
Jim decided to look on the internet to see if he could find someone that can help. He had previously seen a chiropractor for neck pain as a teenager but wasn’t sure whether they could treat knees. He had a look at the website and saw that sports injuries were listed as something chiropractors can help with.
Jim decided to ring the chiropractic clinic to see if they could help. He spoke to a receptionist who reassured him that patients regularly come to the clinic with knee pain. Jim booked an appointment for the following day.
