Knee pain refers to discomfort, aches, and soreness in and around the knee joint. It can be acute or chronic, lasting for weeks or months. The pain may be localized to a specific part of the knee or felt around the area. This issue can manifest itself in many ways.
Arthritis is an inflammation of the knee joint that causes damage over time. The most common forms of this disease are osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. They are characterized by cartilage breakdown, bone spur formation, and joint lining inflammation. These issues cause knee stiffness, swelling, and discomfort, especially with activity. Arthritis pain can be very severe and lead to further knee injury.
Infections of the knee or structures surrounding it can result in various medical conditions. One of them is bursitis, an infection of the fluid-filled sacs around the joint. It leads to swelling, redness, and warmth in the knee area. Another example is septic arthritis, an infection that causes severe joint pain and damage.
Regenerative medicine uses stem cells, growth factors, and other biological agents to heal damaged tissue and restore cartilage in the knee. For example, PRP (platelet-rich plasma) treatment involves the extraction of special proteins called growth factors from the patient's blood. Then, this material is purified and injected into the knee joint. PRP helps the body rebuild the destroyed tissue, leading to functional improvements. Our regenerative medicine aims to restore the knee's natural healing abilities.
Read moreChiropractic care treats knee pain holistically by realigning the musculoskeletal structure through spinal and joint manipulation. Proper alignment allows the body to heal itself and relieve discomfort. This can be achieved through spinal adjustments (to reduce strain on the knee), pelvic corrections (to improve the knee alignment), joint mobilization, and soft tissue therapy.
Read morePhysical therapy involves exercises, hands-on techniques, and electrical stimulation to enhance mobility and strength. These interventions help to manage knee health by correcting muscle imbalances and movement compensations. Physical therapists also utilize heat, ice, and ultrasound to relieve symptoms and identify problem spots.
Read moreShockwave therapy uses high-energy sound waves directed at the injured tissues to kickstart the body's healing response. This causes microtrauma that stimulates revascularization (restoration of blood flow) and cellular repair. Research and our practice show that shockwave therapy is highly effective at relieving chronic knee pain.

This treatment helps regulate the body's energy flow and to significant pain relief. In addition, acupuncture relaxes muscles and improves circulation, helping to decrease swelling and other symptoms.
