What is knee pain?
Knee pain is a common issue that can stem from various causes, such as injury, overuse, arthritis, or other underlying conditions. It can affect individuals of all ages and significantly impact daily activities and overall quality of life.
How does chiropractic help with knee pain?
Chiropractic care focuses on the holistic treatment of musculoskeletal problems, including knee pain. Chiropractors use hands-on techniques and specialized instruments to adjust the spine, hips, and knees. These adjustments help improve alignment, reduce inflammation, alleviate pain, and enhance joint function. Chiropractic care promotes long-term healing and relief by addressing the root cause of the pain rather than just the symptoms.
Why is looking at the whole body necessary?
The human body functions as an interconnected system, and knee pain can often be linked to issues in other parts of the body. For example, misalignments or imbalances in the spine or hips can alter your walk and put additional stress on your knees. By looking at the whole body, chiropractors can identify and treat these underlying issues, providing more comprehensive and effective care. This holistic approach ensures that all contributing factors to knee pain are addressed, leading to better outcomes and overall wellness.
Is it safe?
Yes, chiropractic care is safe when performed by a licensed, trained chiropractor. Serious problems from spinal adjustments are very rare, especially when compared to the side effects of drugs and the risks of surgery. Chiropractors receive extensive training to ensure they can provide help without causing harm. During your initial appointment in Tucson, we will discuss your health history and address any concerns you may have before beginning treatment.
What happens during a chiropractic visit for knee pain?
We will review your health history and conduct a physical examination during your initial visit. In some cases, we may refer you for x-rays. After evaluating the results, we will discuss a treatment plan tailored to help you achieve your health goals. This plan usually includes adjustments to your spine, hips, feet, and knees, along with other therapies such as soft tissue manipulation, stretching exercises, and ergonomic advice to help reduce your symptoms and improve your knee function.
