What is Knee Pain?
Knee pain refers to discomfort, aching, or stiffness in the knee joint. It is a pervasive problem that can be caused by several factors. The knee is a complex joint that is made up of bones, muscles, tendons, and ligaments. Any of these can be injured or affected by the disease, resulting in knee pain. Knee pain can be acute, which means it comes on suddenly and lasts for a short period. It can also be chronic, which means it lasts for a long time or comes and goes. Knee pain can also be mild, moderate, or severe.
The Symptoms of Knee Pain
The symptoms of knee pain can vary depending on the cause. They may include:
- Aching or stiffness
- Swelling
- Redness or warmth
- Weakness or instability
- Popping or clicking sounds
- Locking of the knee joint
- Inability to fully extend or flex the knee
Chiropractic Treatment for Knee Pain
Our chiropractor can use several different chiropractic treatments and management techniques to treat knee pain. They include:
1. Chiropractic Adjustments
A chiropractic adjustment involves using our hands or a device to apply pressure to the body's joints. This helps realign the joints and takes the stress off the muscles and tendons.
2. Manipulation
Manipulation is a chiropractic treatment that uses gentle force to move the body's joints. This can help reduce pain and inflammation.
3. Exercises
Our chiropractor may also recommend exercises to strengthen the muscles around the knee. This can help take pressure off of the knee and reduce pain.
4. Braces or Splints
Sometimes, our chiropractor may recommend wearing a brace or splint to support the knee. This can help reduce pain and inflammation.
