Knee pain and knee injuries are common among athletes and active individuals, particularly in sports that involve repetitive impact, running, jumping, or quick changes in direction.
A sports injury such as a sprained ankle or sore back can result from poor technique or lead to poor technique when an individual athlete overcompensates for an injury favoring one side of his or her body or one position. Sports injuries also lead to secondary pains and problems. Dr. Hammes treats not just the specific location of pain, but the areas radiating out from it as well.
