Come in and see us in clinic today. Knee pain is a common complaint that affects people of all ages. Knee pain may be the result of an injury, such as a ruptured ligament or torn cartilage. Medical conditions — including arthritis, gout, and infections — also can cause knee pain. Many types of minor knee pain respond well to self-care measures. Physical therapy and knee braces also can help relieve pain. In some cases, however, your knee may require surgical repair. ### Here are the main conditions that affect your knees #### Ligament and Tendon Injuries [ Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) ](https://www.prestigehealthcare.co.uk/anterior-cruciate-ligament-injury?hsLang=en) [ Lateral Cruciate Ligament (LCL) ](https://www.prestigehealthcare.co.uk/lateral-collateral-ligament-lcl-injury?hsLang=en) [ Medial Cruciate Ligament (MCL) ](https://www.prestigehealthcare.co.uk/medial-collateral-ligament-mcl-injury?hsLang=en) [ Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome ](https://www.prestigehealthcare.co.uk/patellofemoral-pain-syndrome?hsLang=en) [ Posterior Cruciate Ligament (PCL) ](https://www.prestigehealthcare.co.uk/posterior-cruciate-ligament-injury?hsLang=en) #### Knee Joint Conditions [ Kneecap Dislocation ](https://www.prestigehealthcare.co.uk/kneecap-dislocation?hsLang=en) [ Knee Cartilage Injuries and Mensical Tears ](https://www.prestigehealthcare.co.uk/knee-cartilage-injuries-and-meniscal-tears?hsLang=en) [ Osteoarthritis ](https://www.prestigehealthcare.co.uk/osteoarthritis-of-the-knee?hsLang=en) # Contact Us Please get in touch either by phone or by email and we will be back in touch with you as soon as possible, or fill in the form with your contact details and send it through to our clinical team.
