When the joint and ligaments surrounding the knee are compromised, localized pain is one of the first indicators that you need to seek help. Chiropractic treatment is very effective for many of the problems that cause knee pain.
Medial knee injuries generally occur when the knee is hit directly on the outside. This causes the ligaments on the inside of the knee to stretch, which can tear them. Chiropractic adjustment can help to restore proper functioning of the joint to reduce the risk of further injury.
Like most biomechanical injuries and dysfunctions, lateral knee pain can be from a variety of causes and treatment would reflect this. Typically, your chiropractor would address full kinetic chain function to determine the best course of action.
Patellar tendonosis/tendonitis (runner’s knee) occurs when the patellar tendon on the undersurface of the kneecap gets inflamed. This is common among young, athletic individuals and also adults with arthritis of the knee. Chiropractic adjustments for runner’s knee involve gentle manipulation of soft tissue to restore normal functioning and reduce pain.
