Understanding Knee Pain and Chiropractic Treatment Options
Knee pain is a common issue that can stem from various causes, including injuries, degenerative conditions, or structural imbalances. At Midtown Back & Neck Center in St. Louis, MO, Dr. Terence Crowley specializes in non-invasive, holistic approaches to treating knee pain by addressing its root cause and restoring proper joint function.
Types of Knee Pain
There are many types of knee and joint pain that you might experience. The most common types Dr. Crowley sees are:
- Injury-Related Pain – This includes ligament sprains, tendon strains, or cartilage injuries like meniscus tears, often caused by sports or accidents.
- Arthritis – Osteoarthritis is the most common type, caused by the gradual breakdown of joint cartilage, leading to stiffness, swelling, and discomfort.
- Overuse Injuries – Conditions like patellar tendinitis (runner’s knee) or bursitis occur due to repetitive movements or prolonged stress on the knee joint.
- Structural Imbalances – Misaligned joints or uneven gait can place excess stress on the knee, causing chronic pain over time.
Chiropractic Treatments for Knee Pain
Dr. Crowley will perform a full examination to determine the right type of treatment for your condition. Some of the treatments he may use include:
- Manual Adjustments – Dr. Crowley uses gentle manipulations to realign the spine, hips, and knees, improving joint function and reducing pressure on the affected area.
- Soft Tissue Therapy – Techniques like massage or myofascial release can alleviate muscle tension, enhance circulation, and promote healing around the knee.
- Rehabilitation Exercises – Dr. Crowley can design customized exercise programs to strengthen the muscles supporting the knee, improving stability and preventing future injuries.
