Chiropractic and Knee Pain



Chronic Knee Pain

Chronic knee pain is a very common complaint and can be difficult to find relief from.  Those with knee complaints often become quickly discouraged as they seek care from specialist to specialist, or avoid seeing any doctor because they do not want to go through the expensive procedures from MRI's to injections and surgery. The truth is, chronic knee pain, as with many other symptoms of pain, is actually better diagnosed by addressing the biomechanics of the joint motion other than the still imaging of the joint.

 

Improper biomechanics are the root of many chronic knee problems, and may cause a pain similar to arthritis, meniscus damage, or ligamentous sprains/tears.

So now the question is: How does someone develop "faulty biomechanics"?

The truth is that most of us have never truly been given instructions on how to use our Chiropractor_in_Bozeman__MT.jpgbodies properly. This can include how we sit, stand, and walk with ways that may "feel" normal to us but are not necessarily biomechanically correct. This may include standing with uneven weight distribution in our legs, sitting with our legs crossed, and walking with unknowingly "toeing out".

If these tendencies have occurred for a while, one may have joint motion misalignment and motion restrictions, much like when a spine gets out of its proper alignment.

The solution is to not only get the joint re-aligned and allow proper joint movement, but to prevent the problem from occurring in the future by improving gait and posture during one's daily activities.
