Have Knee Pain? Chiropractic May Help

Knee pain is a common issue for people in our Cary chiropractic clinic, and Swiss Spine Clinic has successfully provided many of these people relief. This is largely because chiropractic adjustment has been found to help with many kinds of knee pain.

For example, some people experience problems in and around the knee area due to degenerative arthritis. 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 improved function after just two weeks of chiropractic care.

If your knee pain is due to a medial meniscus sprain, chiropractic care could likely help with that as well. One case showed that integrating chiropractic care with soft tissue treatment, rest, ice, and compression on the affected knee helped lower the intensity of the discomfort.

Of course, sometimes a knee replacement surgery is necessary in order to correct the issue, and if that's the case, chiropractic care can also help improve the outcome. How?

Research Shows Chiropractic Treatment Helps With Knee Injuries

Medical research has shown that people with low back pain often have less positive results after knee surgery. Therefore, dealing with your back pain through chiropractic prior to having a total knee arthroplasty can help with your post-surgery recovery.

No matter what your knee issue, Swiss Spine Clinic can likely help. Call our Cary practice today and find out what we can do for you!
