Usually not. Manipulation will not help knee tendonitis. It is best to see an Orthopaedic specialist or a physical therapist where medication plus ultrasound treatments have the best results. Hope it helps!
In general, it’s OK to try a chiropractor for a couple weeks. If it’s not working, Plan B. If it is working, should be done within 6 to 8 weeks. Otherwise, see an orthopedic surgeon.
Adjustments to the knee joint along with other therapeutic modalities have been shown to help treat knee tendonitis.
Yes. They can rehab the knee with exercises, etc., but "manipulations" will do no good.
