| Knee Pain - Chondromalacia - Irritation Under The Kneecap |
 Chondromalacia is a term used to describe damage or softening of the articular cartilage on the underside of the kneecap. It is similar to patellofemoral pain syndrome (runner's knee), which refers to pain under and around the knee cap.

| Achilles Tendonitis |
 Achilles tendonitis is a condition of irritation and inflammation of the large tendon in the back of the ankle. This is a common running injury that typically occurs from abnormal foot stroke in push off and too-tight calf muscles.

| Common Disorders of the Achilles Tendon |
 Achilles tendonitis is an inflammation of the Achilles tendon. This inflammation is typically short-lived. Over time, if not resolved, the condition may progress to a degeneration of the tendon (Achilles tendonosis), in which the tendon loses its organized structure and is likely to develop microscopic tears. Read this snack on the causes, symptoms, diagnosis, treatment and prevention of these problems.

| Shin Splints |
