Chiropractic Care for Knees

Several treatment options are included with chiropractic care. In addition to physical therapy and deep tissue massage, Kinesio taping and orthotics can be used to help maintain proper form and relieve pressure off of inflamed soft tissues surrounding the knee. When it comes to healing any type of injury, a holistic approach offers the body what it needs to not only heal properly but to become stronger in the process. These types of healing methods are non-invasive and support the body as it continues to regain its strength. Knee injuries require personalized treatment that is dependent on the type of damage sustained, as well as how active you were before.

Types of Knee Injuries

Hyperextending the knee or tearing the ACL or PCL are common knee injuries. Most knee pain comes from either a severe injury or an illness that affects the joints and causes recurring chronic pain. If the knee pain is related to an injury, athletic or otherwise, physical therapy is one of the best ways to strengthen the tissues that support the knee. The stronger these tissues become, the faster the joint will heal. When chronic illness is the cause, it's vital to provide support to the entire body. This can include regular low-impact exercise like stretching and eating a healthy diet.
