KNEE
PAIN

Chiropractic care can help with several knee conditions by addressing misalignments and improving joint function. Some of the knee conditions that chiropractic treatment can assist with include:

        1.      Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome: Also known as “runner’s knee,” this condition involves pain around the kneecap. Chiropractors can use techniques to improve patellar tracking and reduce inflammation.
        2.      Osteoarthritis: Chiropractic adjustments can help manage the pain and stiffness associated with osteoarthritis by improving joint mobility and function.
        3.      Meniscus Injuries: For minor meniscal injuries, chiropractic care can help improve knee alignment and reduce strain on the injured tissue.
        4.      Ligament Injuries: Chiropractic adjustments and therapies can assist in the rehabilitation of ligament injuries, such as those to the ACL or MCL, by promoting proper joint mechanics and healing.
        5.      Iliotibial Band Syndrome (ITBS): This condition causes pain on the outer side of the knee. Chiropractors can address ITBS by adjusting the alignment of the knee and hip and providing myofascial release.
        6.      Tendinitis: Chiropractic care can help with various forms of knee tendinitis by reducing inflammation and improving joint mechanics to prevent further strain on the tendons.
        7.      Bursitis: Inflammation of the bursa around the knee can be managed with chiropractic adjustments to reduce pressure on the affected area.

Chiropractic care often includes adjustments, soft tissue therapy, stretching, strengthening exercises, and advice on ergonomic and lifestyle changes to support knee health.
