What Are the Main Causes of Knee Pain?

Many conditions can lead to acute or chronic knee pain, including:

  • Obesity
  • Arthritis
  • Bursitis
  • Old injuries

It's important to provide your chiropractor with as much information as possible regarding possible causes of your injury. This helps in the diagnosis and relief of knee pain. Even if you aren't sure what caused it, describing your symptoms in detail helps your chiropractor apply the most effective care.

Can Knee Pain Be Treated by a Chiropractor?

Your chiropractor can treat knee pain through a variety of treatment methods, including: 

  • Spinal adjustment. When your spine is imbalanced, extra pressure may be applied to your joints, including your knees. Spinal adjustments restore balance to your body and reduce the inflammation that causes knee pain.
  • Trigger point therapy. This technique involves pressing on points of the body to reduce related pain or discomfort. 
  • Posture correction. Poor posture puts unnecessary pressure on your muscles and joints. A chiropractor can help you correct your posture and improve the alignment of your spine.
  • Low-level laser therapy. Reduces inflammation and promotes blood flow to kick-start the healing process. 
  • Ultrasound therapy. Ultrasound waves can be used to massage painful knees and the surrounding tissue. It also increases mobility.
  • Nutritional counseling. Our chiropractor can help you learn the best foods to store energy and manage your weight.
