Can Chiropractic Help With Knee Pain?

Healthcare professionals are finding that knee issues are surpassing hips as serious health challenges. if you are suffering from knee pain, there are several measures you can take to reduce your pain, if not entirely treat it. Here’s how chiropractic care can help.

Take On Your Knee Pain

The first step to taking on your knee pain is scheduling a consultation with our team at Healthy Life Chiropractic. We are dedicated to providing the best health care we can in all aspects of life, including knee pain treatment. So many people think that chiropractic care is limited to back and neck pain, but that is simply not the case.

As chiropractors, we use spinal manipulations and adjustments to correct any subluxations in the spine that can negatively impact your health and how your body functions. During your consultation, we will be able to work with you to determine the real issue that is causing your knee pain. We don’t want to stop at providing pain relief — we want to treat the real cause of the issue and restore normal movement, so you can get back to doing the activities you love while avoiding the side effects of medication and risks of surgery.

Along with chiropractic care, there are some measures you can take on your own to help protect your knees and stay active.

  • Wear proper footwear. Your feet are your foundation, so make sure your shoes provide the support you need. If high heels are a must for you, try to keep them to two inches or lower and limit how frequently you wear them. You should also avoid shoes that don’t offer support in general, or wear inserts with them.

  • Drop the extra weight. Each extra pound of weight that you carry is equal to four pounds of pressure on your knees. If you’ve been procrastinating losing those extra pounds and are suffering from knee pain, you’ve found the motivation to get moving! If you lose just ten pounds, you will subtract forty pounds of pressure from your knees. Not only will weight loss help with knee pain, it will make it easier to stay active so you will be healthier overall.

  • Eat healthy. Start filling up your plate with vegetables and fruit first. For protein, incorporate more lean meats and fish like salmon to your diet. It is also a good idea to eat foods that are natural anti-inflammatories to help with knee pain, including cinnamon, garlic, green tea, and ginger.

Taking on knee pain is tough, but we believe every person should enjoy a happy and healthy life! Click here to learn how we can help.

Patient Reviews

"I was experiencing a lot of pain in my feet following the birth of my son. I was diagnosed with plantar fasciitis in both feet. After seeing my PCP and being prescribed anti-inflammatory medication, I looked into the benefits of Chiropractic care. I was in so much pain from the plantar fasciitis that is because difficult for me to walk. I was unable to carry my newborn and walk because I was concerned for his safety. As part of my care plan, custom orthotics were recommended. Within days of receiving my orthotics I had a reduction in my pain. Regular Chiropractic visits and my orthotics have allowed me to be able to care for my son again!"

"I worked for Wal-Mart for 20 years walking on hard floors 10 hours a day. I felt a horrible pain in my right hip/buttocks area and could not bend or walk. My sister did a little research and recommended Healthy Life Chiropractic- They do EVERYTHING! After the first treatment, the pain was gone! After being educated on my problems, they worked on my whole body and it feels 100% better. I have never been a good sleeper, but I am sleeping much better and get up in the morning ready to go! I have never felt better!"

- Michael Chambers

"My daughter came in to see Dr. Rob for possible curve in her spine. She was officially diagnosed with scoliosis after her evaluation. As parents, we were having a hard time wrapping out heads around what that meant for our beautiful 8 year old girl. Dr. Rob, Dr. Tina, and the whole staff at Healthy Life Chiropractic have been phenomenal! After 2 months of treatment- regular adjustments and exercises- we are seeing a huge improvement! Her hips are aligned now, her feet meet properly, and she is feeling better all around. We haven’t retaken her x-rays yet- not until we’ve done treatment for a whole year- but based off our experience, and results we’ve seen so far, I am confident that her curve has not gotten worse and has probably even improved!"

- Margaret Wearne

"I began my chiropractic care in October 2017 because of increased pain and decreased mobility in my left hip that had gotten increasingly worse over the previous 4-5 months. I love that I have been able benefit from whole body treatment that in turn has almost completely taken away the issues I was experiencing with my hip. I am so grateful for feeling good again and I highly recommend Healthy Life for your chiropractic care and total life wellness."

"I have been a patient at Healthy Life Chiropractic for over 3 years! After driving several hundred miles a week and spending time on the computer for work, I not only get regular adjustments, I utilize the massage therapists as well. I've recently begun using, with success, Standard Process supplements and Doterra Essential Oils. I appreciate the holistic approach to care by all of the staff at Healthy Life!"

"I have been coming to Healthy Life Chiropractic for over a year now. The treatments I receive give me such a relief of stress. The personnel is a big part of my relief.
