Chiropractic Treatment of Knee Pain

Knee pain is a recurring problem for patients in our Memphis chiropractic office, and Dynamic Chiropractic has happily provided many of these people relief. This is largely because chiropractic adjustment has been found to help with many forms of knee pain.

For instance, some people deal with issues in and around the knee tissues due to degenerative arthritis. Research has proven that this ailment responds very well to chiropractic and rather quickly, too. In fact, one article published in The Journal of the Canadian Chiropractic Association found that men and women with osteoarthritis in their knees felt considerable pain relief and enhanced function after just two weeks of chiropractic care.

If your knee pain is as a result of a medial meniscus tear, chiropractic adjustments could likely help with that as well. One study reported that combining chiropractic therapy with soft tissue therapy, rest, ice, and compression on the affected knee helped lower the intensity of the discomfort.

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

Research Proves Chiropractic Therapy Helps With Knee Pain

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

No matter what your knee issue, Dynamic Chiropractic can likely help. Call our Memphis location today and find out what we can do for you!
