Have Knee Pain? Chiropractic May Help

Knee pain is a frequent issue for patients in our Buffalo chiropractic office, and Buffalo Family Chiropractic Wellness, P. C. has happily provided many of these people relief. This is mostly because chiropractic adjustment has been found to help with many forms of knee pain.

For instance, some individuals feel pain in and around the knee tissues due to degenerative arthritis. 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 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 due to a medial meniscus sprain, chiropractic therapy could likely help with that as well. One case showed that integrating chiropractic treatment with soft tissue treatment, rest, ice, and compression on the affected knee helped lower the intensity of the issues.

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

Research Shows Chiropractic Care Helps With Knee Injuries

Medical research has found that people with low back pain frequently have less positive results after knee surgery. Therefore, dealing with your back pain through chiropractic before having a total knee arthroplasty can assist with your post-surgery recovery.

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!
