Should I See a Chiropractor to Treat Knee Pain?

Are you suffering from knee pain due to an accident, injury, arthritis, or degraded cartilage? Would you like to find effective knee pain relief without medication or surgery? Chiropractic care may be the solution.

Chiropractic Care for My Knees?  

While chiropractors are often associated with back issues, they can indeed provide effective knee pain relief as well. Remember, every part of your body works together to allow you to move and complete your daily tasks. No one understands this better than a chiropractor, who can assess your knee pain and discover the true source of it, and it may not be your knee.

Causes of Knee Pain

Of course, one of the most common causes of knee pain is an injury to the knee. This could be due to a car or sports accident or falling. Acute accidents to the knee often manifest themselves as pain with or without: 

• bumps
• sprains
• strains 
• punctures

Knee pain can also result from an injury to another part of the body which is causing your knee to work harder or differently than it normally does. Common examples of this are: 

• a hip or ankle injury 
• tight muscles
• unevenly developed leg muscles

Chronic knee pain is often traced to one or more of the following:

• excessive body weight 
• overuse
• posture
• osteoarthritis or rheumatoid arthritis 
• lifestyle, i.e. types of activities, common positions, footwear

Why Early Intervention Matters for Knee Pain

Since your body works together as one unit, it is important to find the source of your knee pain and treat it before:

• you cause compensatory pain in another part of your body
• your reduced mobility affects your ability to move, work, or play
• your pain affects your mental health
• you compromise your coordination and balance 
• you fall and worsen or create further injury  
• your pain is so severe you require constant medication

Chiropractic Care

A chiropractor can provide you with effective knee pain relief without medications or surgery, which avoids a multitude of complications and side effects. Chiropractic care begins with an assessment stage in which your chiropractor will identify the root cause of your knee pain, so they can resolve the issue and not simply treat the symptom. This holistic way of treating knee pain can help prevent a reoccurrence of the issue in the future. 

During a chiropractic treatment specifically for knee pain relief, your chiropractor adjusts the knee and possibly other joints so that the knee is in proper alignment. This relieves pain and creates space for the knee to heal.

In addition to treating knee pain, a chiropractor may recommend complementary treatments such as acupuncture and massage therapy. At Legacies Health Centre, we offer integrated health services all under one roof for your well-being.
