Knee Pain Relief in Frisco
Whether you’re a middle-aged runner, avid golfer, or active octogenarian, you may experience knee pain, which is common, especially during warmer weather when many people are active outdoors.
Knee pain can be caused by various factors, from joint degeneration to nerve issues. If you’re experiencing knee pain, it’s important to understand the underlying cause to get the appropriate treatment. For instance, cases where the knee joint is severely worn down, often called “bone on bone,” are generally best suited for orthopedic care. In such situations, we can refer you to an orthopedist, which is the best course of action to ensure you receive the most effective treatment.
Chiropractic Care for Knee Pain
If your knee pain stems from issues like generalized arthritis or misalignment, chiropractic care can be highly helpful. Often, knee pain is related to problems in other parts of the body, such as the lower back or hips.
For example, when the femur (thigh bone) doesn’t rotate properly as you walk, it can place unnecessary strain on the knee joint. Adjusting the sacroiliac (SI) joint and lower back can help ensure that the femur rotates correctly, reducing pressure on the knee and alleviating pain.
However, if the pain is localized to the knee itself, specific chiropractic adjustments, combined with therapies like muscle stimulation, the Matrix electrical nerve block, icing, and extremity adjustments, can offer relief.
