Chiropractic Treatment of Knee Pain

Chiropractic Adjustments Shown to Be Effective during Treatment of Knee Diagnosis in Yuma

Knee pain is a recurring issue for people in our Yuma chiropractic clinic, and Montero Chiropractic Clinic has happily provided many of these men and women relief. This is largely because chiropractic care has been found to help with many forms of knee pain.

For instance, some individuals deal with pain in and around the knee area 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 people with osteoarthritis in their knees felt significant pain relief and improved function after just two weeks of chiropractic care.

If your knee pain is due to a medial meniscus tear, chiropractic adjustments could likely help with that as well. One case reported that combining chiropractic therapy with soft tissue therapy, rest, ice, and compression on the affected knee helped lower the intensity of the problems.

Clearly, sometimes a knee replacement surgery is required in order to fix the issue, and if that's the case, your chiropractor can also help improve the outcome. How?

Research Supports Chiropractic Treatment Helps With Knee Pain

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

No matter what your knee issue, Montero Chiropractic Clinic can likely help. Call our Yuma clinic today and find out what we can do for you!
