Knee Pain: Causes, Symptoms & Chiropractic Care
Understanding Knee Pain
Knee pain is a common issue that can significantly affect daily activities and overall quality of life. Understanding its causes, recognising the symptoms, and exploring effective treatment options are essential steps toward recovery. Chiropractic care can help, but it may be more appropriate to seek soft tissue care with a physiotherapist.
Common Causes of Knee Pain
- Osteoarthritis: Degeneration of joint cartilage leading to pain and stiffness.
- Ligament Injuries: Tears or sprains in the knee ligaments, such as the ACL or MCL, often resulting from sports activities.
- Meniscus Tears: Damage to the knee’s cartilage due to twisting motions or heavy lifting.
- Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome: Pain around the kneecap, commonly associated with overuse or misalignment.
- Tendonitis: Inflammation of the tendons, frequently affecting individuals engaged in repetitive activities.
Symptoms Associated with Knee Pain
- Swelling and stiffness
- Redness and warmth to the touch
- Weakness or instability
- Popping or crunching noises
- Inability to fully straighten the knee
How Chiropractic Care Can Help
Chiropractic treatment provides a non-invasive approach to managing knee pain by focusing on the musculoskeletal system. Benefits include:
- Joint Alignment: Adjustments to improve knee joint alignment, reducing stress and enhancing function.
- Inflammation Reduction: Techniques to decrease inflammation and promote natural healing.
- Muscle Strengthening: Exercises to support surrounding muscles, providing better knee stability.
- Improved Mobility: Therapies aimed at increasing range of motion and flexibility.
By addressing the root causes of knee pain, chiropractic care can alleviate discomfort and restore mobility. While our Chiropractors can help, knee specific problems are an ailment more appropriately assessed by physiotherapists.
