Knee Pain Specialist

What causes knee pain?

Many people experience some degree of knee pain during their lives. Mild to moderate knee injuries may heal with rest, elevation, and ice therapy; however, more severe injuries and other types of damage to the structures of the knee may require treatment.

Some common conditions that can lead to knee pain include:

• Sports injuries
• Overuse injuries
• Misalignment of the knee joint
• Nerve compression
• Ligament tears or sprains
• Muscle strain
• Osteoarthritis

Many adults also develop knee pain as they age, due to wear and tear on the muscles, ligaments, and tendons that make up the structure of this complex joint.

What are the symptoms of knee pain?

Signs and symptoms that may accompany acute or chronic knee pain include:

• Swelling
• Stiffness
• Redness
• Joint instability
• Popping or crunching sounds
• Limited range of motion
• Inability to bear weight on the knee

If your knee pain affects your ability to perform daily tasks or lead an active, full life, the team at Isanti Family Chiropractic can help relieve your pain and restore mobility and function so your condition won’t prevent you from participating in the activities you enjoy.

How does a chiropractor treat knee pain?

If you suffer from constant or periodic knee pain or you’ve experienced a recent injury to your knee, your expert provider at Isanti Family Chiropractic will perform a full evaluation, including a detailed health history, a discussion of your symptoms, and a physical assessment.

During your assessment, your chiropractor will ask you to perform a series of movements to assess your range of motion and help determine the exact nature of your pain.

Following your evaluation, your chiropractor will design a custom treatment plan to address your knee pain. Your treatment plan may include:

• Spinal adjustments
• Massage therapy
• Electronic muscle stimulation
• Exercise programs
• Regenerative medicine
• Lifestyle changes

Most cases of knee pain will fully resolve under the care of an experienced chiropractor. Depending on the cause and severity of your knee pain, your provider may recommend a long-term chiropractic rehab plan to restore full function and mobility and prevent future knee injuries.
