KNEE AND JOINT PAIN
​
Knee and joint pain can significantly impact daily life and arise from a multitude of risk factors. These include aging, overuse or repetitive strain, injuries such as sprains or tears, arthritis (osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis), being overweight or obese, and genetic predispositions. Symptoms can vary widely, ranging from a mild ache and stiffness to severe, debilitating pain, swelling, limited range of motion, and a grinding sensation.
Neurostructural chiropractic care for knee and joint pain involves a holistic approach that goes beyond just the symptomatic area. Chiropractors assess the biomechanics of the entire musculoskeletal system, looking for structural imbalances in the spine, pelvis, and lower extremities that may contribute to abnormal joint loading and pain. Treatment often involves gentle adjustments to restore proper joint alignment and function, along with soft tissue therapies, rehabilitative exercises, and lifestyle recommendations aimed at reducing pain, improving mobility, and promoting 1 long-term joint health.
