Knee Pain Treatment with Chiropractic

Knee pain is a common issue for people in our West New York chiropractic practice, and Dr. Marsh has successfully provided many of these men and women relief. This is mostly because chiropractic adjustment has been found to help with many types of knee pain.

For example, some patients deal with discomfort in and around the knee area due to osteoarthritis. Research has demonstrated 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 men and women with osteoarthritis in their knees felt significant pain relief and improved function after just two weeks of chiropractic care.

If your knee pain is caused by a medial meniscus tear, chiropractic care could likely help with that as well. One article showed that integrating chiropractic treatment with soft tissue treatment, rest, ice, and compression on the affected knee helped lower the intensity of the problems.

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

Research Supports Chiropractic Treatment Helps With Knee Pain

Medical research has found that people with low back pain often have less positive outcomes after knee surgery. Thus, dealing with your back pain through chiropractic before having a total knee arthroplasty can assist with your post-surgery healing.

No matter what your knee issue, Dr. Marsh can likely help. Call our West New York practice today and find out what we can do for you!
