What Causes Knee Pain?

Knee pain is a symptom. Frequent causes include injuries and chronic conditions or mechanical issues such as:

  • ACL injury
  • Torn meniscus
  • Fractures
  • Bursitis
  • Dislocation
  • Gout
  • Osteoarthritis
  • Rheumatoid arthritis

This is by no means an exhaustive list of all the conditions that can affect the knee; however, these are all fairly common problems. When you experience knee pain the first line of defense is usually rest, elevation and ice. Often, knee pain responds to home treatment and doesn't return. However, chronic knee pain or severe symptoms such as redness and swelling and an inability to put weight on the knee requires medical attention.

Can A Chiropractor Help With Knee Pain?

If you've injured your knee or are suffering from a chronic condition causing knee pain, your chiropractor can help. Through a combination of soft tissue massage, adjustment, cold therapy and other holistic approaches, you can experience relief through chiropractic care.

Chiropractic care is ideal because your doctor may only look at the knee itself, the symptoms and how to treat the symptoms. This makes sense in the case of a clear-cut injury; however, knee pain is not always a clear-cut issue. Your chiropractor will be able to look at other causes of knee pain, for example, a lower back or hip problem. Approaches to treatment will also be different. Rest, ice and anti-inflammatory pain relief are helpful in many cases, but your chiropractor can provide additional care to treat your pain and discomfort, such as ultrasound therapy or interferential therapy.
