Knee Pain Treatment with Chiropractic

Chiropractic Spinal Manipulation Shown to Be Effective for Knee Patients in Depew

Knee pain is a recurring issue for people in our Depew chiropractic clinic, and Dr. Palmer has happily provided many of these people relief. This is mostly because chiropractic care has been found to help with many kinds of knee pain.

For instance, some people deal with issues in and around the knee area due to degenerative arthritis. Research has demonstrated that this ailment responds very well to chiropractic and rather quickly, too. In fact, one study published in The Journal of the Canadian Chiropractic Association found that men and women with osteoarthritis in their knees felt significant pain relief and improved function after just two weeks of chiropractic care.

If your knee pain is as a result of a medial meniscus tear, chiropractic care could likely help with that as well. One case found that integrating chiropractic adjustments with soft tissue therapy, rest, ice, and compression on the affected knee helped lower the intensity of the issues.

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

Research Shows Chiropractic Treatment Helps With Knee Pain

Medical research has found that patients with low back pain frequently have less positive outcomes after knee surgery. So, dealing with your back pain through chiropractic prior to having a total knee arthroplasty can assist with your post-surgery recovery.

No matter what your knee issue, Dr. Palmer can likely help. Call our Depew practice today and find out what we can do for you!
