Common Questions about Knee Pain Relief

Knee pain can be debilitating. It can restrict both your range of motion and mobility. Even minor pain can make it hard to walk or perform daily tasks. At Shenandoah Chiropractic in Harrisonburg, VA, we offer chiropractic treatments for knee pain to relieve pain and promote the natural healing of knee injuries. Here are some common questions people have about knee pain and knee pain relief.

What causes knee pain?

Knee pain can be caused by auto accidents, work injuries, sports collisions, or chronic conditions. Some common knee injuries that can result in pain and loss of mobility are:

• Dislocated knee
• Frozen knee
• Knee bursae
• Sprains and strains
• ACL
• Tendinitis
• Dashboard knee

Can knee pain be caused by osteoarthritis or other chronic conditions?

Knee pain could be the result of osteoarthritis caused by breakdown of cartilage. Arthritis can also cause deterioration of connective tissues in your knee joints, resulting in dull, ongoing pain and inflammation. Left unchecked, your pain could worsen over time. Our chiropractor may recommend stretching exercises or knee adjustment to manage pain and help restore mobility.

What kind of treatment do chiropractors use for knee pain relief?

After reviewing your medical history, assessing your symptoms and examining your condition, we’ll have a better idea of how to handle your treatment. By customizing your treatment plan, you’ll get the full benefit of our chiropractic therapies. Depending on the severity of your condition, we may use the following therapies in your treatment:

• Ice packs to reduce inflammation
• Chiropractic knee adjustment
• Soft tissue massage to ease tense muscles, boost blood flow to your injury, and expedite healing
• Ultrasound
• Gentle stretching and/or strengthening exercises to help restore range of motion and mobility

In addition to treating your pain, we’ll focus on treating the source of your pain to promote healing of knee injuries.
