Have Knee Pain? Chiropractic May Help

Chiropractic Care Reported as Effective for Treating Knee Diagnosis in North County St. Louis, MO

Knee pain is a frequent issue for patients in our North County St. Louis, MO chiropractic clinic, and Dr. Holland has successfully provided many of these folks relief. This is largely because chiropractic care has been found to help with many forms of knee pain.

For instance, some people experience problems in and around the knee tissues due to osteoarthritis. Research has shown that this ailment responds very well to chiropractic and rather quickly, too. In fact, one study published in The Journal of the Canadian Chiropractic Association found that people with osteoarthritis in their knees felt considerable pain relief and enhanced function after just two weeks of chiropractic care.

If your knee pain is because of a medial meniscus sprain, chiropractic treatment could likely help with that as well. One study showed that integrating chiropractic treatment 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 required in order to correct the issue, and if that's the case, chiropractic can also help improve the outcome. How?

Research Supports Chiropractic Therapy Helps With Knee Injuries

Medical research has found that people with low back pain frequently have less positive results after knee surgery. Thus, dealing with your back pain through chiropractic before 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 North County St. Louis, MO clinic today and find out what we can do for you!
