Chiropractic Helps with Knee Pain

Knee pain is a frequent issue for people in our Alpharetta chiropractic clinic, and Dr. Berklich has successfully 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 individuals experience pain in and around the knee tissues due to degenerative arthritis. Research has proven that this ailment 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 enhanced function after just two weeks of chiropractic care.

If your knee pain is as a result of a medial meniscus sprain, chiropractic care 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 discomfort.

Clearly, sometimes a knee replacement surgery is necessary in order to repair the issue, and if that's the case, chiropractic can also help improve the outcome. How?

Research Shows Chiropractic Treatment Helps With Knee Injuries

Medical research has shown that people with low back pain frequently have less positive results after knee surgery. Thus, dealing with your back pain through chiropractic prior to having a total knee arthroplasty can assist with your post-surgery recovery.

No matter what your knee issue, Dr. Berklich can likely help. Call our Alpharetta office today and find out what we can do for you!
