Chiropractic Care for Knee Pain
What Is Knee Pain?
Knee pain refers to discomfort or issues affecting the knee joint, which is a complex structure made up of ligaments, tendons, cartilage, and bones. It can arise due to injury, overuse, or chronic conditions like arthritis. Common injuries include ACL tears, tendonitis, meniscus tears, and patellofemoral pain syndrome, which causes discomfort in the front of the knee. Knee pain can lead to swelling, stiffness, instability, and difficulty with movement, impacting people of all ages and activity levels.
Why Does Knee Pain Occur?
Knee pain happens when the joint experiences excessive stress, injury, or gradual wear over time. This can result from repetitive motions, direct trauma, or poor movement patterns. Common causes include:
- Overuse or repetitive stress from activities like running, jumping, or squatting.
- Sudden twisting or impact during sports or accidents.
- Weak or imbalanced muscles around the knee, causing improper joint function.
- Age-related cartilage degeneration, such as osteoarthritis.
- Poor posture or mechanics that place undue strain on the joint.
Without proper treatment, these factors can exacerbate knee pain, leading to stiffness, reduced mobility, and difficulty performing everyday activities.
How Can We Help With Knee Pain?
A thorough physical examination will be conducted to determine the severity of your knee pain. This includes evaluating your movement patterns, strength, range of motion, and any signs of swelling or tenderness.
Once the injury is diagnosed, a personalized recovery and rehabilitation plan will be developed. This plan may include therapeutic techniques such as manual adjustments, soft tissue therapy, and mobilization to reduce pain, promote healing, and restore function. Physical therapy exercises will be incorporated to strengthen the muscles, improve flexibility, and support recovery.
Lifestyle changes may also be recommended, including modifying physical activity, ensuring proper body mechanics, and incorporating dietary and nutritional adjustments to aid the healing process. Specific exercises and stretches will be prescribed to help prevent reinjury and promote long-term recovery.
