Have Knee Pain? Chiropractic May Help

Knee pain is a common issue for patients in our Buffalo chiropractic office, and Buffalo Family Chiropractic Wellness, P. C. has successfully provided many of these men and women relief. This is mostly because chiropractic therapy has been found to help with many types of knee pain.

For example, some individuals feel issues in and around the knee area due to osteoarthritis. Research has shown that this condition 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 significant pain relief and improved function after just two weeks of chiropractic care.

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

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

Research Proves Chiropractic Treatment Helps With Knee Problems

Medical research has shown that patients with low back pain frequently have less positive outcomes after knee surgery. Thus, 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, Buffalo Family Chiropractic Wellness, P. C. can likely help. Call our Buffalo clinic today and find out what we can do for you!
