Supplements For Knee Pain Patellofemoral
Patellofemoral joint complaints are one of the most common musculoskeletal complaints in all age groups. Complaints vary from anterior knee pain to peripatellar knee pain to retropatellar knee pain. Nonspecific complaints may include global or generalized knee pain, joint line pain, or posterior knee pain. Often, there is a paucity of objective findings despite subjective complaints. The problem may vary from one of short duration to one of a recurrent or chronic nature.
The etiology of patellofemoral joint syndrome is multifactorial. Treatment often is conservative in nature. Because of the variable nature of the complaints and often lack of objective identifiable pathologic cause of patellofemoral joint complaints, it can be difficult to evaluate, diagnose, and treat this condition, which may cause great frustration for the physician and patient alike.
Dietary food supplements may prove beneficial in a select group of patients. Glucosamine/chondroitin sulfate and hyaluronic acid may have the potential to provide substrates used in regenerating the articular cartilaginous surfaces. To date, however, no scientific proof has been presented that this occurs. Some people taking these supplements have reported decreased pain, decreased swelling, and improved joint mobility.
