Potentially! To address knee pain there needs to be a better understanding of your specific case. A new patient process includes a patient intake, consultation, and physical examination to further understand the potential root cause of this type of condition or injury. With pain, x-rays and MRIs may be warranted to assess the extent of the condition or injury. This will help understand the length of time for care. There are certain exams during the new patient process that are performed to understand the severity. Some positive exams may warrant you to be referred to the emergency room, urgent care, neurologist, MD, DO, or orthopedist. If no referral is needed, diagnostic imaging may be warranted as further examination (as stated above). If those above paths are not needed then addressing the condition with chiropractic care may be palliative in the alleviation of these imbalances creating dysfunction in the body, such as pelvic and sacrum rotation. There are various techniques in chiropractic. Throughout an active phase of care, it will be determined if the patient is responding favorably to certain techniques.
In most cases, yes. As with most pain, it all depends on the cause. First step is proper diagnosis and then the treatment will depend on the cause of the pain. Is it meniscus? Tendon? Ligament, muscle? Is the joint misaligned and not working efficiently? Hope this helps. Jay H Schwartz, DC, DIBCN, DIBE

Yes! Most chiros can. I work with the muscles that involve your knee on top of knee adjustments. Looks for chiros that are trained/specialized in muscle work along with extremities (knees, wrists, elbows, ankles, etc.). Sent from Outlook<http://aka.ms/weboutlook>
Yes. The knee feels pain through the Genicular nerves. We do a block of the nerves and if it achieves relief we can insert a peripheral nerve stimulator that stimulates these nerves hence treating the pain. Alternatively, radiofrequency ablation of the nerves is another option Get Outlook for iOS<https://aka.ms/o0ukef>
