What Causes Knee Pain?

Injuries from car accidents, work-related accidents, or sports injuries are common causes of knee problems. Sometimes aging or daily wear and tear in joints can damage the knees. The following are a few of the more common knee conditions.

• Torn Meniscus—This is when the rubbery cartilage in the knee tears.
• Knee Bursitis—This occurs when the small sac of fluid cushioning your knee joint becomes inflamed.
• Patellar Tendinitis—This is inflammation or irritation of one of the tendons around the knee.
• Dislocated Kneecap—This happens when the bone covering the knee pops out of place.
• Arthritis—Whether it's osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, or another type, arthritis can cause pain and stiffness.

How Can a Chiropractor Help?

A chiropractor can use therapies and techniques to relieve knee pain and strengthen muscles and joints in the area surrounding the knee without addicting drugs or invasive surgery. A chiropractor will examine the knee to make sure the joints are in proper alignment.

You may be given specific exercises that will help strengthen the tendons and muscles surrounding the knee. Since your hips, spine, and other areas of your body are integrated, a chiropractor may examine other joints in the body to make sure they're all working together properly.
