Knee Pain Treatment with Chiropractic

Chiropractic Methods Shown as Effective during Treatment of Knee Discomfort in Prescott

Knee pain is a recurring issue for patients in our Prescott chiropractic office, and Weary Chiropractic Clinic has happily provided many of these men and women relief. This is mostly because chiropractic care has been found to help with many forms of knee pain.

For example, some individuals deal with issues in and around the knee area due to degenerative arthritis. Research has proven that this ailment 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 considerable pain relief and enhanced 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 found that combining chiropractic treatment with soft tissue therapy, rest, ice, and compression on the affected knee helped lower the intensity of the problems.

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

Research Proves Chiropractic Adjustments Helps With Knee Problems

Medical research has shown that people with low back pain often have less positive results after knee surgery. Thus, 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, Weary Chiropractic Clinic can likely help. Call our Prescott practice today and find out what we can do for you!
