Common Knee Conditions Treated by Our Chiropractor

The knee joint is a complex structure, and injuries can result from mechanical imbalances, improper joint mechanics, or other causes. Pain can range from mild to severe. Chiropractic treatments and physical medicine offer natural, safe remedies to restore healthy movement and alleviate pain to help you heal. Here are some of the knee conditions our chiropractor commonly treats.

• Torn Meniscus: The meniscus is the cartilage that cushions the shinbone from the thighbone. Twisting the knee suddenly can rupture the meniscus, and any weight that you bear on the knee causes pain.
• Dislocated Knee: Dislocated knees are not as common, but they can be extremely painful. Blood vessels and nerves can become damaged, and you may experience discoloration, pain, and inflammation. Trauma-related dislocations may require medical care, and our chiropractor can evaluate and determine what type of care is needed. Many times faulty joint mechanics and repetitive movements can be the underlying cause. If these are left undetected and not corrected, injuries tend to recur.
• Sprains: Overuse of the knee joint causes sprains, swelling, and tenderness. Sprains and strains are common conditions, especially among athletes.
• Knee Bursitis: This occurs when the bursa, or the small fluid-filled sac in your knee joint, becomes inflamed. This causes friction, pressure, and pain in the knee and limits mobility.
• Osteoarthritis: This is pain that results from a loss of cartilage surrounding the knee bones. Chiropractic care can improve movement, alleviate pain symptoms and stop further progression of this condition.
