Knee pain is one of the most common reasons why our patients come to visit us at Innovative Chiropractic. Throughout the day, the knee is involved in several processes. The knee not only bends and straightens several times, but it also carries the weight of the upper body. In addition to operating as a hinge joint, the knee also has some rotational flexibility. While this increases the body’s range of motion, it also increases the risk of injury to the knee. Chiropractic therapy, fortunately, can benefit patients who suffer from knee pain. Identifying the most prevalent causes of knee pain is the first step. The appropriate treatment can then be given.

Common Causes of Knee Pain

A variety of factors can cause knee pain. The following are some of the most prevalent problems that people face:

Acute Injuries

Acute knee pain could happen in a car accident, while playing sports, or even while going up and down the stairs. Knee contusions, ligament sprains, muscle strains, and even puncture injuries are among the most common acute knee injuries.

Chronic Injuries

Chronic injuries, on the other hand, may cause knee pain in some persons. Chronic medical conditions might cause the cartilaginous cushion between the upper and lower leg’s bones to deteriorate over time. Osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis are frequent causes. Posture, lifestyle, and obesity, on the other hand, can all contribute to the chronic degeneration of the knee joint.

Knee pain can manifest itself in a number of different ways. Some patients may hear a loud popping sound followed by fast swelling in their knee. Other people may notice the stiffness and weakness that develops over time. Fortunately, seeing a chiropractor can help in the reduction of knee pain.

Chiropractors Can Address Knee Pain

Despite the fact that most people associate chiropractors with back and neck issues, they are also capable of treating knee pain.

• Chiropractors can treat knee pain without the use of prescription drugs or surgical procedures, avoiding risks and adverse effects;
• Chiropractors spend time determining the fundamental reasons of knee pain. A chiropractor tries to treat both the symptoms and the underlying condition, rather than just the symptoms on the surface. This eliminates the possibility of future problems.
• After carefully examining the knee, a chiropractor will provide adjustments to ensure that it is aligned properly. This puts the knee in the best possible position for healing.

These are just a few of the various ways a chiropractor can assist someone with knee pain to recover.

Trust a Trained Chiropractor

Every year, a significant number of people suffer from knee pain. Because of the persistent pain and limited movement, this can cause serious quality-of-life concerns. Everyone has the potential to recover fully with the correct treatment plan from a trained chiropractor.
