If you've ever suffered from knee pain, you know even the most basic daily activities can seem almost impossible. Whether you are bending down to pick up the groceries, climbing up the office stars, or just getting out of bed, knee pain poses a problem and has negative effects on your ability to accomplish day-to-day tasks.
CHIROPRACTIC CARE FOR KNEE PAIN RELIEF
So what are your options: reduce your activities, take more pain killers, and just live with the pain? None of those sound like ideal options in our opinion! What about chiropractic care? Chiropractic is an excellent treatment for knee pain. We regularly treat patients overcoming a variety of health issues, and knee pain is one of them. Rather than focus on simply relieving the pain, we start by addressing the underlying issues that are the root cause of your knee pain and help alleviate pain through a combination of techniques.
There are many different angles of approach to treating knee pain and they vary from patient to patient. We may incorporate soft tissue massage, which can help to improve the range of motion of the knee or the use of ice therapy to reduce inflammation of the joint. We will, perhaps most importantly, use chiropractic adjustments in the knee area and surrounding joints that have restricted movement. Our years of experience, combined with the use of multiple treatment methods, can reduce your knee pain while increasing its range of motion and improving overall function.
THE SIGNS IT’S TIME FOR KNEE PAIN TREATMENT
If you are not sure if you should receive chiropractic care for your knee pain, ask yourself these questions:
- Are you taking pain relief medication?
- Have you had to limit your activity levels?
- Is your knee pain so severe that it is limiting your ability to function normally in daily life?
If you answered yes to any of these questions and your knee pain continues to bother you, it is time to schedule an appointment at Wills Chiropractic. Consistent pain is not something you have to just suffer through. We will address the issues in and around your knee in relation to your pain, and we will also investigate if there are other issues in your body that could be contributing to your pain. Many people don't realize it but limited range of motion in the hips or tightness in the lower back can put an excessive amount of stress on the knees, leading to pain.
