Chiropractic Care for Different Types of Knee Pain
Most adults experience occasional knee pain or joint pain that eventually goes away after a period of rest. However, if you have knee pain that persists or worsens even after home treatment, you should visit a chiropractor. At Ballinger Chiropractic, our chiropractor Dr. Calvin Mulanax can determine the root cause of your knee pain and offer safe, non-invasive chiropractic treatment. Chiropractic therapies are particularly effective at treating knee pain and joint pain due to arthritis, repetitive stress, muscle sprain or strain, and auto or sports accidents. Here is a look at our chiropractic therapies in Shoreline, WA, for different types of knee pain.
Age-Related Joint or Cartilage Degeneration
One of the most common causes of knee pain in adults is age-related degeneration. Over time, wear and tear can cause your joints, cartilage, or bones to degrade, causing knee pain, joint pain, joint instability, and trouble walking. Osteoarthritis is one of the most common age-related causes of knee pain in older people. Chiropractic therapies like myofascial release therapy, therapeutic stretches, shockwave therapy, and laser therapy are very effective at treating these types of knee pain.
Sports, Work, or Auto Injuries
Sports, work, and auto accidents can also cause knee pain. This type of knee pain is most often due to a repetitive stress or overuse injury, muscle sprain or strain, dislocation of the knee joint, ligament or tendon tear, cartilage tear, or a fractured or broken bone. Dr. Mulanax will evaluate the extent of your injury and design a plan that relieves pain and accelerates healing and recovery. He may recommend a combination of chiropractic adjustments, physical therapy, and lifestyle modification.
Medical Conditions Like Arthritis and Gout
Certain medical conditions can increase your risk of chronic or acute knee pain. Arthritis, gout, lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, bursitis, and Baker’s cysts can cause knee pain. Dr. Mulanax may recommend conservative home care, diet and nutrition changes, therapeutic exercise, chiropractic adjustments, and myofascial release therapy.
