Before vesting us, learn about some frequently asked questions regarding knee pain below:
What Knee Pain Conditions Can They Treat?
There are a variety of factors that can affect your knee and cause pain. Some of these causes include:
- Osteoarthritis — This disease occurs when the cartilage around your knee, known as articular cartilage, breaks down. As a result, friction is created between the bones and you experience pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility
- Rheumatoid Arthritis — This disease happens due to an inflammatory autoimmune condition. Some symptoms include swelling, stiffness and trouble moving. If you don’t receive treatment, the disease can damage your bones, joints, and cartilage
- Meniscal Injury — This injury can occur for a variety of reasons, such as aging, arthritis, or simply from twisting or rotating your knee too hard
- Patellar Tendonitis — This injury occurs due to repetition and is common in athletes
- Strains — If a muscle is overused or used the wrong way, it can become strained
- Sprains — If you step or land awkwardly, that can sprain the ligaments around the knee
How Does A Chiropractor Treat Knee Sprains?
When you visit us, our chiropractors will evaluate your knee and associated areas and speak with you about the possible cause of the pain. You may have discomfort from carrying too much weight, poor posture, repetitive movements at work or injuries during exercise. We will identify the root cause of your pain and provide the necessary treatment from our variety of modalities. Your treatment may not focus on the knee if the cause of the dysfunction is from another part of the body. Before providing treatment, we will explain the techniques that we will use and ensure that you stay comfortable the entire time. While you may find relief after one appointment, you may need additional sessions to achieve your desired results.
