Questions about Knee Pain Relief

Knee pain can slow you down. After all, you use your knees when standing, walking, and sitting too. Yet, while knee pain is common, this isn't the type of symptom you have to live with at all. There is relief available. Learn more about how to treat knee pain with non-invasive chiropractic care today.

What Are the Common Causes of Knee Pain?

Knee pain is often because of an injury, such as a bruise, twist, or tear. During injury, different parts of the knee may become inflamed. This inflammation can manifest as pain in the knee itself or the surrounding muscles. In addition, injuring your knee over time can lead to degeneration of different tendons, ligaments, and the meniscus itself, contributing to the onset of arthritis.

Other causes of knee pain can be caused by specific illnesses, such as autoimmune conditions. Regardless of the cause of knee pain, knees can traditionally be treated to lessen this pain and strengthen the knee joint, and sometimes alleviate knee pain entirely.

What Types of Knee Pain Treatment Are Provided?

Primary knee injuries are often treated with the old-fashioned rice method, rest, ice, compression, and elevation. This method works well for minor injuries. However, significant injuries may require X-rays or surgical repair, facts you'll find out after visiting the emergency room. So again, chiropractic care may be a fantastic fit. 

Chiropractors can help take care of immediate pain through careful massage, strategic icing, and gentle stretching routines. In addition, chiropractors can help identify the root causes of this pain beyond your original injury to help correct many problems in the long term. Then, using spinal adjustments and tools like Electro Magnetic Stimulation (EMS) or ultrasound therapy, our professionals can have you back on your feet in no time.
