Chiropractic Care and Knee Pain

Knee pain is a very common complaint that can be caused by many things, from overuse to arthritis. If you are experiencing knee pain, it is important to visit a medical professional to determine the root cause and get the appropriate treatment. At Life Force Chiropractic in Glen Burnie, MD, we provide quality chiropractic care for knee pain treatment. We'll conduct an in-depth exam to determine the cause of your pain and develop an effective, personalized treatment plan.

Common Causes of Knee Pain

Arthritis: This is a degenerative disease that can cause severe, chronic pain and inflammation. It occurs when the protective fluid-filled cushion around the bones wears thin, causing friction

Tendonitis: Inflammation of the tendons, which are the tough cords that attach muscles to bones, can cause sharp knee pain.

Torn cartilage: Damage to a thin membrane that covers and protects your knee bones can cause knee pain. It is most common in people who participate in contact sports, such as football or basketball.

Bursitis: This is the inflammation of a fluid-filled sac that cushions your joints. It can cause pain, swelling, and redness. It often occurs in your hips, knees, and shoulders.

Inflammation of the nerves: Injury or pressure to the sciatic nerve can cause pain in your lower back, buttocks, and thighs. This is called sciatica. It can also cause pain in the front of your thigh or knee.

Chiropractic Care for Knee Pain Treatment

After the diagnosis, the doctor will work with you to create a specific treatment plan that can help resolve your knee pain. They may use a combination of methods, including:

• Chiropractic adjustments: Our chiropractors utilize gentle, precise, and controlled pressure to adjust the spine and joints. This helps unblock nerve impulses that cause pain, allowing for improved mobility in the affected area.
• Massage therapy: Massage therapy can increase blood flow to the area, helping with recovery and reducing inflammation.
• Nutrition counseling: A chiropractor from our team may help you create a well-balanced diet that supports your joint health and reduces inflammation.
• Exercise programs: A chiropractor from our team may recommend gentle exercises that will strengthen the muscles around your joints, helping to ease the pressure on them and reduce pain.
