Knee Pain Treatment with Chiropractic

Knee pain is a frequent issue for patients in our Hazleton and Conyngham chiropractic office, and Eyerly Chiropractic Offices has happily provided many of these men and women relief. This is largely because chiropractic adjustment has been found to help with many kinds of knee pain.

For instance, some people deal with discomfort in and around the knee area due to osteoarthritis. Research has confirmed that this ailment responds very well to chiropractic and rather quickly, too. In fact, one study published in The Journal of the Canadian Chiropractic Association found that people with osteoarthritis in their knees felt considerable pain relief and enhanced function after just two weeks of chiropractic care.

If your knee pain is because of a medial meniscus sprain, chiropractic therapy could likely help with that as well. One article reported that combining chiropractic care with soft tissue treatment, rest, ice, and compression on the affected knee helped lower the intensity of the pain.

Of course, sometimes a knee replacement surgery is necessary in order to repair the problem, and if that's the case, your chiropractor can also help improve the outcome. How?

Research Proves Chiropractic Care Helps With Knee Injuries

Medical research has found that people with low back pain often have less positive outcomes after knee surgery. Thus, dealing with your back pain through chiropractic before having a total knee arthroplasty can assist with your post-surgery healing.
