Knee Pain Relief in Delaware
Whether you tweaked your knee playing pickleball or suffer from chronic arthritis, knee pain can be more than uncomfortable; it can significantly impact your mobility and quality of life. While discomfort could stem from an injury, overuse, or underlying conditions, getting effective relief is crucial for restoring normal function.
What Are Some Causes?
Knee pain can arise from various causes:
- Injury: Sports-related injuries, falls, or accidents can damage the knee joint, ligaments, or cartilage.
- Overuse: Repetitive stress from running, squatting, or lifting heavy objects can strain the knee joint.
- Arthritis: Osteoarthritis or rheumatoid arthritis can cause inflammation and degeneration of the knee joint.
- Muscle Imbalances: Weakness or imbalance in the muscles supporting the knee can lead to pain and instability.
What Are Some Symptoms?
Knee pain symptoms can range from mild discomfort to severe pain, including swelling, stiffness, difficulty straightening the knee, and instability while walking or standing.
How Chiropractic Care Can Help
At Heritage Clinic of Chiropractic, Dr. Gabby and Dr. Steven take a comprehensive approach to addressing knee pain using chiropractic care and trigger point therapy:
Assessment and Diagnosis
The first step in finding relief for your knee pain is a thorough evaluation of the knee’s structure and function to identify the root cause of the discomfort. This includes examining the spine’s alignment and assessing muscle imbalances that could contribute to knee issues.
Chiropractic Adjustments
Gentle adjustments to the spine and other affected areas can improve joint mobility, reduce inflammation, and alleviate pressure on the knee joint. Proper alignment can positively impact knee function.
Trigger Point Therapy
Targeted pressure on specific trigger points in the muscles around the knee can release tension, reduce pain, and improve range of motion. Trigger point therapy can address muscular imbalances contributing to knee discomfort.
Exercise and Rehabilitation
We provide customized exercise programs to strengthen the muscles supporting the knee joint, enhancing stability and reducing the risk of future injuries.
