What Causes Knee Pain?
The knee is an intricate system made up of many muscles, joints, and tendons. When one part of this system is damaged it can result in knee pain and a lack of mobility. Let's look at a few causes of knee pain.
Bursitis- Bursitis is a condition in which the bursa tissue found in the knee becomes inflamed. The bursa allows major joints of the body to move smoothly and without friction. Bursitis is sometimes caused by overuse of a joint or it can be caused by an injury. Bursitis is often seen in athletes.
Torn Ligaments- Ligaments are tough bands of tissue that connect muscle to bones and joints. These tissues can become damaged because of an accident or an injury. When tendons are strained or torn, it can cause a great deal of pain. This is also an injury seen often in athletes.
Arthritis- Arthritis is an inflammatory disease that causes the joints of the body to stay in a constant state of inflammation. This inflammation will cause pain and a reduction in mobility.
Can a Chiropractor Help?
Chiropractic care can be a great option for dealing with knee pain. One of the biggest challenges to knee pain is that it is difficult to find all-natural forms of pain relief. Many of the medications that are used to treat knee pain can have negative side effects.
A chiropractor will be able to evaluate your knee pain issues and develop a treatment plan for you that will help you find healing.
The type of treatment you will need will depend on the diagnosis. Our team will provide diagnostics that can pinpoint the exact cause of your knee pain. This will help the chiropractor develop the right treatment plan.
Some treatments can include:
- Knee adjustments
- Hot/cold therapy
- Cold/laser therapy
- Others.
