What Is the Patella, and Why Is It Important for Knee Function? - #15256
I recently started experiencing knee pain, and my doctor mentioned something about my patella being affected. I know the patella is the kneecap, but what exactly does it do, and why is it so important for knee function? I read that the patella protects the knee joint and helps with leg movement and stability, but what happens if the patella is misaligned or injured? Does this cause patellar tracking disorder, chondromalacia patella, or patellar dislocation? What are the common patella-related injuries, and how are they treated? Are patellar fractures, tendonitis, and bursitis more common in athletes, or can anyone develop them over time? Are there natural remedies or Ayurvedic treatments for patella pain and knee joint health? Do herbs like Shallaki, turmeric, and Ashwagandha help reduce knee inflammation? If anyone has experienced patella issues, what treatments or exercises helped improve your condition?
