Chiropractic care for knee pain

Chiropractic Economics August 19, 2013

When you are experiencing knee pain, even the most basic activities of daily living can begin to seem tough. From bending down to pick a grocery bag and climbing the stairs to simply walking from your car to the office or even getting out of bed in the morning, knee pain tends to have a negative affect on your ability to function optimally.

Chiropractic care can assist with knee pain.Before you decide to just live with pain or reduce your activity level or reach for pain pills, there is another route to consider—chiropractic care. Often, a chiropractor can help address the issues that are causing your knee pain, and apply chiropractic techniques that can alleviate the pain.

A chiropractor typically will have a number of different angles of approach when it comes to treating knee pain. Common methods of chiropractic care for knee pain may include the use of ice to reduce any inflammation, along with the application of massage techniques that can help improve range of motion in the knee.

Along with these and other methods of decreasing knee pain, the chiropractor can also apply chiropractic manipulation and mobilization techniques to any areas of restricted movement in the knee and also the surrounding joints. These basic chiropractic methods can not only help reduce the knee pain, but also increase range of motion in the knee and improve overall function.

There are several signs that you may want to make an appointment with a chiropractor to receive treatment for your knee pain. One big reason to seek chiropractic care for your knee pain is if this pain is, indeed, limiting your ability to function in daily life without consistent pain. Another indication that it may be time for a visit to the chiropractor is if pain in the knee remains bothersome, even with a reduction in activity and use of medication.

A skilled chiropractor can work not only to address issues in and around the knee, but also can investigate whether restrictions in other areas of the body may be causing or contributing to the knee pain. For example, restrictions or displacements in the hips or lower back can strain the knees and cause pain. With the right chiropractic care, these issues can be corrected.
