Abstract:

Knee pain is a common complaint among patients presenting to their primary care physician. Not only is the knee joint the largest joint in the body, it also provides structural support to the entire body. Being that it is such a large, superficial joint, the knee is susceptible to various injuries and somatic dysfunctions. The authors present the case of a 61-year-old male complaining of pain in the anteromedial knee and subsequently diagnosed with pes anserine bursitis. The patient was treated with traditional medical therapy without significant, persistent symptom relief. The approach of the authors in this case was to treat the patient with the Triple Technique for the knee—a series of Muscle Energy, Counterstrain and Balanced Ligamentous Tension techniques for treating the knee joint. The Triple Technique has been used by the authors for a variety of knee somatic dysfunctions, but is suggested by this case for the treatment of pes anserine bursitis.
