Chiropractic Treatment of Knee Pain

Knee pain is a recurring problem for patients in our Jacksonville chiropractic office, and Chanatry Chiropractic has happily provided many of these people relief. This is mostly because chiropractic therapy has been found to help with many kinds of knee pain.

For example, some patients encounter pain in and around the knee area due to osteoarthritis. Research has confirmed that this ailment responds very well to chiropractic and rather quickly, too. In fact, one paper published in The Journal of the Canadian Chiropractic Association found that men and women with osteoarthritis in their knees felt considerable pain relief and improved function after just two weeks of chiropractic care.

If your knee pain is because of a medial meniscus sprain, chiropractic treatment could likely help with that as well. One study showed that integrating chiropractic therapy with soft tissue therapy, rest, ice, and compression on the affected knee helped lower the intensity of the problems.

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

Research Shows Chiropractic Adjustments Helps With Knee Pain

Research has shown that people with low back pain often have less positive results after knee surgery. Therefore, dealing with your back pain through chiropractic before having a total knee arthroplasty can help with your post-surgery healing.

No matter what your knee issue, Chanatry Chiropractic can likely help. Call our Jacksonville clinic today and find out what we can do for you!
