Knee Pain
Causes of Knee Pain and treatment
When join function is impaired, there is reduced range of motion, inflammation, calcium buildup, and scar tissue.
This can be caused from repetitive motions, improper sitting, overexertion, slips, falls, accidents, and other causes. Awareness of these types of problems has become more common with terms like "tennis elbow", "runner's knee", "frozen shoulder", and "carpal tunnel syndrome".
The traditional treatment of these problems involves splinting the join
to reduce movement, pain medications, muscle relaxers, steroid injections, and even surgery!
Relief of Knee Pain?
Today, a more commonsense approach is being taken. Joint mobilizations, like chiropractic care for the spine, is being used in the care of knee pain. Helping to restore normal range of motion to joints that have become "locked up", "jammed", or injured, seems to improve blood circulation, reduce scar tissue, and speed the healing process.
