Knee Pain Treatment with Chiropractic

Chiropractic Spinal Adjustments Shown to Be Effective during Treatment of Knee Patients in Depew

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

For instance, some people experience pain in and around the knee tissues due to osteoarthritis. Research has demonstrated 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 people with osteoarthritis in their knees felt considerable pain relief and enhanced function after just two weeks of chiropractic care.

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

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

Research Shows Chiropractic Therapy Helps With Knee Pain

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 help with your post-surgery healing.

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!
