What causes knee pain?

Knee pain has many causes. It can be the result of an injury or wear and tear. If you participate in sports, especially contact sports, your knees are vulnerable to injuries. Osteoarthritis is also a very common cause of knee pain as well as loss of cartilage. The knees have ligaments that can cause pain if they are injured.

What can you do to prevent knee pain?

As with most other types of pain, prevention is the best thing you can do for your knees. One of the most important things you should do is to maintain a healthy weight. If you are overweight, your knees are under a lot more pressure with every step you take, this can lead to more wear and tear than necessary. Keeping active and exercising keeps your knees strong and that goes a long way to preventing pain and injury.

What treatments do chiropractors provide for knee pain?

Our chiropractor can provide treatments that don't involve drugs or surgery. Extremity adjustments can help to get your joints back into alignment. Electrical stimulation therapy helps to ease some of the pain caused by your muscles or spasms in the knee. Manual trigger point therapy may be used to treat soft tissue supporting the knee joint. By releasing these painful knots, the knee can function more naturally.
