The symptoms of patellarfemoral pain syndrome can vary from person to person, but typically include:
- Pain in and around the patella.
- Swelling of the knee joint.

How We Treat Patellarfemoral Pain Syndrome?
At Dublin Physical & Chiropractic , we offer a range of treatments specifically designed to help people with patellarfemoral pain syndrome. They are designed to help relieve pain and improve function, for long term resolution of symptoms and freedom of movement. They include:
- Physical therapy.
- Chiropractic Care.
- Laser Therapy.
- Shockwave Therapy.
- Exercise Therapy.
- Intrinsic Core Strengthening.
- Non-surgical Spinal Decompression.
Physical therapy
Our physical therapists use a combination of techniques to help relieve pain, improve function, and prevent future flare-ups for people with patellarfemoral pain syndrome. These techniques include:
- Manual therapy – Manual therapy is a hands-on treatment that involves manipulating the tissues around the patella to help loosen them and improve movement. This can help reduce pain and inflammation, and improve mobility.
- Exercise therapy – Exercise therapy is a key part of physical therapy for patellarfemoral pain syndrome. Our therapists will design a programme of exercises that target the muscles around the knee joint, to help strengthen and support them. This can help improve tracking of the patella and reduce pain.
Chiropractic Care
Chiropractic care integrates a combination of spinal adjustments and non-surgical spinal decompression to release tight joints that may be compressing nerves and inhibiting your function. This can help alleviate patellarfemoral pain syndrome symptoms and help you get back to your life.
Laser Therapy
Our laser therapy treatment uses a high-intensity light source to penetrate the skin and target affected areas of patellarfemoral pain syndrome. It is used as an analgesic (pain relief) and anti-inflammatory treatment, and can help reduce swelling and inflammation.
Shockwave Therapy
Shockwave therapy uses high-intensity sound waves to target the affected tissues in patellarfemoral pain syndrome. This can help break down scar tissue and stimulate healing, reducing pain and inflammation.
Exercise Therapy
At Dublin Physical & Chiropractic we believe that exercise is one of the most important treatment options for patellarfemoral pain syndrome.
Our therapists will design a personalised programme of exercises to target the muscles around the knee joint, helping to strengthen and support them. This can help improve movement and reduce pain.
Intrinsic Core Strengthening
Our intrinsic core strengthening treatment helps to target the deep muscles of the abdomen and pelvis that support the spine and hips. These muscles are often weak in people with patellarfemoral pain syndrome, and strengthening them can help reduce symptoms.
Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression
Our non-surgical spinal decompression treatment uses a special machine to gently stretch the spine, creating negative pressure within the discs. This helps promote retraction of bulging or herniated discs, taking pressure off the surrounding nerves. This treatment can help relieve patellarfemoral pain syndrome symptoms.
