Chiropractic Helps with Knee Pain

Knee pain is a common problem for people in our Amite City chiropractic clinic, and The Culminating Experience Chiropractic Clinic has successfully provided many of these people relief. This is largely because chiropractic care has been found to help with many kinds of knee pain.

For instance, some individuals experience discomfort in and around the knee tissues due to degenerative arthritis. Research has confirmed that this condition responds very well to chiropractic and rather quickly, too. In fact, one article published in The Journal of the Canadian Chiropractic Association found that individuals with osteoarthritis in their knees felt significant pain relief and improved function after just two weeks of chiropractic care.

If your knee pain is because of a medial meniscus tear, chiropractic treatment could likely help with that as well. One case found that combining chiropractic care with soft tissue therapy, rest, ice, and compression on the affected knee helped lower the intensity of the pain.

Of course, sometimes a knee replacement surgery is required in order to repair the problem, and if that's the case, your chiropractor can also help improve the outcome. How?

Research Supports Chiropractic Treatment Helps With Knee Pain

Research has shown that patients with low back pain often have less positive outcomes after knee surgery. Therefore, dealing with your back pain through chiropractic before having a total knee arthroplasty can help with your post-surgery healing.

No matter what your knee issue, The Culminating Experience Chiropractic Clinic can likely help. Call our Amite City office today and find out what we can do for you!
