Have Knee Pain? Chiropractic May Help

Knee pain is a frequent issue for patients in our Midland, Odessa chiropractic office, and Permian Basin Accident & Injury Centers has successfully provided many of these folks relief. This is largely because chiropractic care has been found to help with many kinds of knee pain.

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

If your knee pain is due to a medial meniscus sprain, chiropractic could likely help with that as well. One study reported that integrating chiropractic with soft tissue therapy, rest, ice, and compression on the affected knee helped lower the intensity of the pain.

Clearly, sometimes a knee replacement surgery is required in order to fix the problem, and if that's the case, chiropractic care can also help improve the outcome. How?

Research Supports Chiropractic Helps With Knee Injuries

Research has found that patients with low back pain often have less positive outcomes after knee surgery. So, dealing with your back pain through chiropractic prior to having a total knee arthroplasty can help with your post-surgery healing.

No matter what your knee issue, Permian Basin Accident & Injury Centers can likely help. Call our Midland, Odessa office today and find out what we can do for you!
