Knee pain is a recurring issue for people in our Downtown St. Louis, MO chiropractic office, and Dr. Holland has happily provided many of these people relief. This is largely because chiropractic treatment has been found to help with many types of knee pain.
For instance, some people feel problems in and around the knee tissues due to degenerative arthritis. Research has shown that this condition responds very well to chiropractic and rather quickly, too. In fact, one paper published in The Journal of the Canadian Chiropractic Association found that individuals with osteoarthritis in their knees felt considerable pain relief and improved function after just two weeks of chiropractic care.
If your knee pain is because of a medial meniscus tear, chiropractic adjustments could likely help with that as well. One article found that integrating chiropractic therapy with soft tissue therapy, rest, ice, and compression on the affected knee helped lower the intensity of the issues.
Of course, sometimes a knee replacement surgery is necessary in order to correct the issue, and if that's the case, your chiropractor can also help improve the outcome. How?
Medical research has found that patients with low back pain often have less positive results after knee surgery. Therefore, dealing with your back pain through chiropractic prior to having a total knee arthroplasty can help with your post-surgery recovery.
No matter what your knee issue, Dr. Holland can likely help. Call our Downtown St. Louis, MO practice today and find out what we can do for you!
