An Overview of Knee Pain from Woodgrove Pines Wellness Clinic

Woodgrove Pines Wellness Clinic provides chiropractic care in Nanaimo. Knee pain is a common condition that our clinic treats often. Below is some helpful information about this condition and how our chiropractor can provide pain relief.

The Causes and Symptoms of Knee Pain

One of the most common reasons why patients visit us is chronic discomfort. While many people associate a chiropractor with back and neck pain, a chiropractor can also treat knee pain very effectively. There are numerous reasons why someone may suffer from knee pain. Chronic illness is a reason that we see far too often, such as arthritis. Injuries from playing sports or from auto accidents are also very common and we can provide pain relief and help with the recovery process.

As mentioned above, arthritis is one of the most common causes of knee pain. This condition occurs when someone has chronic inflammation in the knee area that degrades the cartilage between the bones in the knee. In other cases, people might have an acute injury such as “dashboard knee”. This is a sprain of the PCL that takes place when the knee strikes the dashboard during a motor vehicle accident.

Knee Pain Treatment

Many people who suffer from knee pain think that they require surgery or prescription medications to help treat their issues. Pain medication in particular only addresses problems on the surface and often can bring unwanted side effects. Pain and discomfort may return worse than before. That is what makes us different. We will take the time to address the underlying cause of your knee pain to provide long-term relief.

Treatment begins with a full medical history taken from the patient and then followed with a thorough physical examination. The chiropractor will develop a treatment plan that is customized around your physical condition to meet your health and wellness goals. Treatment may include chiropractic techniques such as adjustments and manipulations to make sure the bones, muscles, and ligaments in the knee are properly aligned. This will allow the body to heal itself naturally. We may also incorporate massage therapy and physical therapy as parts of your treatment plan.
