Knee
Your knees work hard to keep you moving every day. When your knee is injured, it hurts to bend, squat, or walk. Sometimes just standing still or even sleeping can be painful. Dr. Frank Johnson Jr. has many years of experience in diagnosing and treating conditions of the knee.
Knees can be damaged by injury, overuse, arthritis, or general wear-and-tear as you age. If you have swelling, instability, catching or locking, limited range of motion, or a sharp, continual pain in your knee joint, we recommend an evaluation by Dr. Johnson to determine the source of your pain and to discuss possible solutions.
