Many American adults suffer from some form of knee pain, which is the second most common form of chronic pain. The knee is a weight-bearing joint, and we must keep it healthy; however, accidents sometimes occur, resulting in acute and chronic pain. Seeing a chiropractor can help treat the root cause of the pain and not just mask the symptoms with addictive prescription medications or require the need for invasive surgery. We at Lake Marion Chiropractic can help patients in St Paul, MN, and Lakeville, MN, with pain management.
Chiropractic Care
Chiropractic care is most known for its ability to reduce back pain through spinal manipulation. However, a chiropractic doctor on our team can go far beyond this one form of care, offering full-body holistic treatment and noninvasive and drug-free treatments for patients suffering from pain. When the body is adequately aligned, it reduces the unnecessary stress on the knee joint, helping minimize knee pain.
Types of Knee Pain That May Benefit from Chiropractic Care
The knees are one of the most used joints and suffer the most wear and tear, leading to extreme pain and trouble functioning throughout the day. There are various forms of knee pain; not all types can benefit from chiropractic care. However, a chiropractic doctor on our team can treat the common causes, including a hurt kneecap, knee bursitis, osteoarthritis, and loose or injured tissue. Other conditions which may benefit from chiropractic care includetendinitis, tears in ligaments and tissues, and referred pain (pain that has originated elsewhere in the body).
What Conditions Should not Be Treated with Chiropractic Care?
Though a chiropractic doctor on our team can help treat many musculoskeletal ailments, some conditions where chiropractic care may not help and is not recommended. Conditions such as broken bones and medical emergencies are not recommended for treatment by a chiropractor alone.
