What causes knee pain?

Your knees endure an incredible amount of stress, making them vulnerable to injuries and degenerative changes. While aging increases your risk of developing problems like arthritis, people of every age can have painful knee injuries.

Competitive athletes have a higher risk of injuring their knee ligaments if they engage in sports like soccer, football, and basketball. These sports require movements that place significant stress on the knees, like cutting, pivoting, and landing on one leg. 

The caring Repair Recover Restore team frequently treats knee pain caused by:

• Arthritis
• Ligament injuries
• Meniscus tears
• Dislocation
• Tendonitis
• Synovitis
• Bursitis

Seeking treatment for knee pain is essential. Injuries can lead to chronic joint instability without proper care supporting healing and restoring strength and mobility.

What symptoms accompany knee pain?

You may only have knee pain. However, you could also experience any of the following symptoms:

• Inflammation
• Swelling
• Bruising
• Stiffness
• Joint instability
• Clicking or popping
• Limited joint movement
• Locked knee joint
• Pain when placing weight on your knee

Your Repair Recover Restore provider refers you to a medical doctor if they diagnose a knee problem requiring surgery.

How is knee pain treated?

After completing a thorough physical exam and taking X-rays if needed, your Repair Recover Restore provider diagnoses the cause of your knee pain and creates a customized care plan.

Many people don’t realize that chiropractors treat knee pain. However, they’re trained in various techniques and offer holistic therapies that complement your chiropractic care.

Chiropractic knee treatment is also a good choice because your knees don’t work alone. They’re one part of your entire musculoskeletal system. As a result, problems in your knees can result in foot pain and ankle strain and place damaging stress on your legs, hips, and lower back.

Chiropractors use a whole-body approach, ensuring your treatment plan addresses and prevents all problems.

Your holistic knee pain treatment may include any of the following:

• Spinal adjustments
• Knee adjustments
• Physical therapy
• Massage therapy
• Traction
• Kinesiology taping
• Acupuncture
• Nutrition

Physical therapy at Repair Recover Restore may also include functional rehabilitation. Functional rehab helps you regain the level of performance you had before your knee pain and prepares your knee for the demands of your sport.
