Knee Pain FAQs

One of the most frustrating pains to experience is knee pain because it can linger for months. Despite its commonality, there are still many misconceptions about knee pain and its causes. At Gingell Chiropractic Center in Plymouth, MI, we want to help our patients by providing answers to some of the frequently asked questions about knee pain.

.

What Are Some Common Causes of Knee Pain?

Several different conditions can lead to knee pain. One of these is tendonitis. The ligaments surrounding your knee joint can sometimes become inflamed, which is known as tendinitis. Another culprit is bursitis, which is a condition that causes the small, fluid-filled sacs that cushion your bones and tendons to become inflamed. Arthritis is also a common cause of knee pain. This is a progressive deterioration that results in cartilage breakdown, which can lead to discomfort, stiffness, and fluid accumulation.

What Individuals Are At Risk for Knee Pain?

There are several different groups of people who might be more likely to experience knee pain. This includes:

  • Athletes or people who participate in high-impact sports
  • The elderly
  • People who are overweight or obese

We also have to consider individuals who have labor-intensive jobs such as construction workers.

Can Knee Pain Be Eliminated Without Treatment?

The short answer is no. However, there are ways to alleviate the symptoms of knee pain so that it is more manageable. Treatment options will be discussed with you based on the severity and cause of your knee pain. It is good to explore non-invasive treatments because they come with fewer risks. Before you decide on surgery, it is beneficial to sit down with Dr. Gingell to discuss the pain you are feeling and how our treatment can help.

How Do Chiropractors Help With Knee Pain?

At Gingell Chiropractic Center, we focus on whole-body wellness. This means that when you come in for knee pain, we will take a look at your entire body to see how it might be affecting your knees. We may also recommend certain lifestyle changes or exercises that can reduce the amount of stress on your knees.

However, we do treat each patient for their individual needs and recommend what we believe is the best treatment plan for long-term success.
