Knee pain is a common problem for patients in our Jacksonville chiropractic practice, and Silver Chiropractic & Wellness has successfully provided many of these people relief. This is mostly because chiropractic therapy has been found to help with many forms of knee pain.
For example, some people feel pain in and around the knee tissues due to degenerative arthritis. Research has proven 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 individuals with osteoarthritis in their knees felt significant pain relief and enhanced function after just two weeks of chiropractic care.
If your knee pain is as a result of a medial meniscus tear, chiropractic treatment could likely help with that as well. One article found that integrating chiropractic care with soft tissue therapy, rest, ice, and compression on the affected knee helped lower the intensity of the problems.
Of course, sometimes a knee replacement surgery is required in order to fix the problem, and if that's the case, chiropractic care can also help improve the outcome. How?
Medical research has shown that people with low back pain frequently have less positive results 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, Silver Chiropractic & Wellness can likely help. Call our Jacksonville clinic today and find out what we can do for you!
