How can you help with knee arthritis?
If your knee arthritis is not so bad that a knee replacement is the only option, then mobilization, manipulation and strengthening can be very helpful. We also use therapies such as Stemwave or Shockwave therapies to help break up scar tissue and adhesions and bring healing cells to the area of concern. There are many ways to treat knee pain depending on what the actual diagnosis is. Arthritis diagnosis is sometimes a simplified diagnosis. The doctor needs to determine the cause of the arthritis and try to change that. I hope this info is helpful. Dr. Eric Miller- Orland Park, IL READ MORE
