Does your knee hurt, and you'd like to know why? Would you like to know whether your knee pain is the result of injury or a medical condition such as rheumatoid arthritis? Worry no more! Here are some insights from our Anken Family ChiroCare medical center in Rome, where our chiropractors work to deliver natural and effective chiropractic care for knee pain relief.

What Are the Typical Causes of Knee Pain?

Knee pain is a generic phrase, and there is little it can tell about the cause of your pain. Knee pain is often categorized into three separate groups whose causes include injuries, medical conditions, and knee overuse.

• Medical conditions such as gout and rheumatoid arthritis can cause knee pain
• Knee injuries contribute to knee pain due to problems such as meniscus tears, dislocated knee joints, ligament tears, and broken bones
• Knee overuse may cause osteoarthritis, sprains, strains, bursitis, frozen knee, and tendinitis

What Should You Do Before Getting Knee Pain Therapy?

The first thing that our chiropractor will do is collect information on your medical history. An orthopedic examination will follow. The examination helps our chiropractor determine the cause of your knee pain. Once the underlying cause of your pain has been uncovered, we will create a chiropractic care plan to address it.

Should Knee Pain Get Ignored When There Is No Apparent Injury?

Regardless of the origin of your pain, the chiropractors at Anken Family Chiro-Care in Rome always recommend that you go in for a chiropractic examination. Such check-ups are essential because the pain and pressure you put on your knee while engaging in day-to-day activities can worsen your knee condition.

What's the Typical Approach for Providing Knee Pain Relief?

If your knee pain problem results from a new injury, our chiropractors may apply ice on your knee to reduce the inflammation and pain. Our chiropractor may also perform soft tissue massage before beginning therapeutic chiropractic manipulations. Over time, chiropractic adjustments will reduce your pain and alleviate structural damage that may have occurred around your knee.
