Knee Pain

Understanding Knee Pain

Knee pain can manifest as discomfort, stiffness, swelling, and reduced mobility, impacting daily activities and athletic performance. Common conditions contributing to knee pain include ligament sprains, meniscus tears, patellar tendonitis, IT band syndrome, and patellofemoral pain syndrome. Identifying the underlying cause of knee pain is crucial for developing an effective treatment plan.

Treatment Modalities

Our approach to treating knee pain integrates advanced chiropractic techniques and rehabilitative therapies tailored to address the specific needs of each patient. Here are the key modalities we utilize:

Chiropractic Adjustments

        Knee Joint Manipulation: Gentle adjustments to the knee joint help improve joint alignment, reduce inflammation, and alleviate pain. Chiropractic adjustments can enhance knee mobility and support natural healing processes.

Soft Tissue Therapy

        Myofascial Release: This technique focuses on releasing tightness and tension in the muscles and fascia surrounding the knee joint. Myofascial release promotes circulation, reduces muscle spasms, and improves overall tissue health.

        Trigger Point Therapy: Targeted pressure on trigger points within muscles helps relieve pain and restore muscle function, aiding in the rehabilitation of knee injuries.

Rehabilitative Exercises

        Strength Training: Specific exercises are prescribed to strengthen the muscles around the knee, including the quadriceps, hamstrings, and calf muscles. Strengthening these muscles helps stabilize the knee joint and reduce stress on injured tissues.

        Flexibility and Range of Motion Exercises: Gentle stretches and range of motion exercises help improve flexibility and mobility in the knee joint, reducing stiffness and promoting recovery.

    Postural Correction and Biomechanical Analysis: Addressing biomechanical factors and postural imbalances that contribute to knee pain is essential for long-term relief. We provide guidance on proper body mechanics, ergonomic adjustments in daily activities, and footwear recommendations to support healing and prevent recurrence.
