Chiropractic treatment is very effective for many knee problems. It can be helpful for patients if:

  • Knee pain is limiting your day-to-day or sports activities
  • You have been given painkillers and have been told to rest, but have no long-term improvement
  • You have been told you have arthritis and nothing can be done
  • You have knee pain or restricted motion
The knee is a complex joint that relies solely on ligaments and muscles for stability. When pain is known to be coming from the knee, all functional components are examined as well as the knee joint, lower back, pelvis, hip, ankle and foot. These all have direct influence on the knee.
 

The Causes of Knee Pain

Believe or not, there are numerous injuries and diseases that consist of the knee. The knee is often exposed to injury more than any other bony structure in the body besides the spine. Usual causes of knee pain are:
  • Arthritis of the knee
  • Cartilage injuries
  • Illiotibial band syndrome
  • Ligament injuries
  • Meniscus injuries
  • Osgood-Schlatter disease
  • Tendon injuries
