Treating Knee Pain
Chiropractors get to the foundational issues that cause knee pain. They use their knowledge and skill to examine the anatomical parts of the body that have an impact on the knee, including the hips, pelvis, lower back, and foot. In order to make an accurate diagnosis of knee pain, chiropractors obtain a complete medical history of the patient and perform a comprehensive physical and biomechanical exam, which enables the development of an effective treatment plan.
Some of the chiropractic treatments used to reduce knee pain include:
Reduce Inflammation and Diminish Pain
A chiropractic treatment and care management plan for knee pain may involve the application of ice to reduce pain, inflammation, and muscle spasms. Chiropractors may also use ultrasound, laser, or interferential therapy to facilitate soft tissue healing.

Chiropractors use manipulation and mobilization techniques for areas of restricted movement. These techniques can promote movement and function of the knee and lessen knee pain. Other helpful techniques can include chiropractic knee adjustment, trigger point therapy, deep soft tissue massage, and cross-friction.
Exercise for Rehabilitation
Chiropractors can help patients reduce knee pain and improve knee function through the use of targeted exercises that enhance the strength, stability, and endurance of the knee. Certain exercises also improve a person’s balance which is important for recovering normal function and preventing future injuries.
