Chiropractors who also specialize in treating extremities (e.g. shoulders, knees, ankles, feet) are frequently quite successful in helping alleviate knee pain. It simply depends upon what is the source of your pain. We routinely find that structural correction, sometimes with custom foot orthosis, rectifies the cause of inflammatory pain at the knee. Other times, an orthopedic referral is necessary to address common soft tissue damage that can cause knee pain. If searching for a chiropractor in your area, you must ascertain that they are proficient in extremity work.
Yes we can help with knee pain, some knee pains may be due to uneven hips
Definitely.
Yes and no. Naturally, it depends on the condition of your knee, how and when it began, and your overall condition. Remember, Chiropractic is about helping your body to function better overall. Also, there are some Chiropractors who only adjust the spine while others have and are willing to look at all sorts of conditions. Look for a Chiropractor who is into Sports Chiropractic or Applied Kinesiology. Personally, I would suggest that you get evaluated by a Chiropractor.
Chiropractors can help with reducing knee pain. It does depend on what is causing the pain on how much relief you can get.
A lot can. Go to a chiropractor that does Active Release Techniques. Activerelease.com and hit find a provider.
Yes, they can! Knees need to be adjusted too. I work on my knees all the time, especially with my athletes. Make sure your leg muscles aren't tight and pulling on your knee as well. Stretch your quads, IT band, and hamstrings. I would look for chiropractic that does practice extremity work (other joints outside of the spine) and does work on muscles as well.
Knee pain is quite often treated by chiropractors...this depends on the actual cause of injury or pains present. This is why a GOOD diagnostic physician is necessary to determine if there is structural damage, nerve damage, muscle imbalances, etc.
Yes, Chiropractors are licensed to diagnose and treat all musculoskeletal conditions.
