Knee pain is a frequent issue for people in our Charlotte, NC chiropractic practice, and ChiroWerx has successfully provided many of these men and women relief. This is mostly because chiropractic care has been found to help with many types of knee pain.
For example, some individuals experience discomfort in and around the knee tissues due to degenerative arthritis. Research has proven that this condition responds very well to chiropractic and rather quickly, too. In fact, one article published in The Journal of the Canadian Chiropractic Association found that men and women with osteoarthritis in their knees felt significant pain relief and enhanced function after just two weeks of chiropractic care.
If your knee pain is caused by a medial meniscus tear, chiropractic treatment could likely help with that as well. One study showed that integrating chiropractic adjustments with soft tissue therapy, 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 correct the issue, and if that's the case, your chiropractor can also help improve the outcome. How?
Research has shown that patients with low back pain often have less positive outcomes 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, ChiroWerx can likely help. Call our Charlotte, NC clinic today and find out what we can do for you!
