Common Knee Injuries that can be treated by a Chiropractor

The knee is one of the most used joints in the body. That means if it is in pain, you may have an extremely difficult time going about your daily activities. If you are experiencing knee pain due to an injury, our chiropractor at Renton Center Chiropractic in Renton, WA, will perform a thorough examination and create a treatment plan designed to provide pain relief while supporting the healing process.

Knee Injuries

When you visit our chiropractor, we will want to know as much as possible about your symptoms. We have gathered some of the knee injuries that can be treated and resolved by our chiropractor:

Anterior Knee Pain: This kind of knee pain has no specific cause and happens when the cartilage becomes rough or damaged. You may feel pain behind your kneecap or on the sides of it. Our chiropractor will use hands-on methods like massage to improve this condition.

Knee bursitis: Another name for bursitis is 'inflammation of the fluid-filled sacs in your joints.' This means if this condition is not treated it can become worse over time. Our chiropractor will use different types of massage, hot and cold therapy, or other hands-on treatments to reduce the swelling around the knee that is caused by excess fluid buildup.

Knee arthritis: If you have knee pain and your doctor diagnoses arthritis in the affected area, it is because the cartilage has worn away and bone is rubbing against bone. Our chiropractor will reduce the inflammation and relieve pressure around the arthritic joint by using a variety of hands-on techniques.

Runner's Knee: This specific knee injury happens to athletes who participate in sports that involve a lot of running. It is characterized by pain behind or around the kneecap, which intensifies over time if not treated properly. Cold compression therapy can improve blood flow to the area while relieving inflammation.
