In chiropractic care, we see and treat a lot of people for knee pain. When a patient seeks an alternative to orthopaedic care, they often feel stifled; chiropractic can offer a better option. A chiropractor employs a scientific approach to healing knee pain; he assesses the patient for possible spinal or pelvic association and localized dysfunction of the knee.
Knee pain can come from many sources like the following and the knee is unguarded and exposed to hostile elements, rendering it open to knee pain:
1.Impact injuries
2. Outside forces affecting the knee
3. Injuries related to dashboard
4. Direct blow to the knee from a fall
Overuse or disuse of the knee can develop into soft tissue injuries and cause knee pain. A big percentage of visits to a chiropractor’s office are due to:
1. Player of sports presenting with anterior knee pain.
2.Elderly patient with a complaint of knee pain and stiffness
3. Soreness over the tibial tuberosity from a young sportsperson.
4. Patient complaining of knee ‘giving way’ or instability.
A cautious approach to knee pain therapy is usually taken. An assortment of non-surgical therapeutic methods often works to alleviate knee pain. Chiropractic adjustments, applying heat or cold, strengthening exercises for muscles that support the knee and avoidance of activities that intensify the knee pain.
To identify the true cause of your knee pain, your chiropractor will initiate the following pre-treatment processes: take a detailed history, examine you and do neurological and orthopaedic testing and perform radiologic tests. Then they will develop a specific plan of management tailored to your case.
