What are the Root Causes of Knee Pain?

Each day, your knees support your entire body weight. This is a tremendous weight they carry every step you take. As you move through life, they bend and twist in different directions. It’s the reason you need to take care of them.

Knee pain doesn’t just arise from the knee joint. Problems in your ankles, hips, and spine can put extra stress on your knees. The following are the common causes of knee pain.

• Osteoarthritis
• Ligament injuries, including ACL or MCL tears
• Meniscus tears, which can cause sharp pain
• Poor posture
• Spinal misalignment
• Tendinitis and bursitis
• IT band syndrome
• Runner’s knee and jumper’s knee
• Pain from the lower back, hips, or sacroiliac joint

When your spine isn’t aligned, it changes how weight is distributed through your legs. It puts uneven pressure on your knee joints.

Because there are several causes of knee pain, it’s vital to determine the right cause of your knee issue. The proper treatment depends on the main cause of the pain. This is the reason Dr. Heaton will carry out a thorough evaluation before determining the appropriate course of action for your case.

What are the Knee Pain Treatments at Arizona Chiropractic and Spine Rehabilitation Clinic?

The right treatment for your knee pain can only be determined after a thorough evaluation of your knee. When you come to our clinic, Dr. Heaton will start to check not just your knees, but also your spine, hips, and lower extremities. This thorough examination of your body will help him understand where the breakdown occurs. Your treatment plan is designed based on these findings.

Here are the treatments that may be included in your treatment plan:

• Chiropractic adjustments to correct your spinal and hip misalignments
• Cold laser therapy to reduce your inflammation
• Electrical muscle stimulation to ease your pain while improving your blood circulation
• Rehabilitative exercises to rebuild strength and stability in your knees

When Will You Experience Improvements After Undergoing Knee Pain Treatments?

Many patients notice improvement early in care. Many of our Tucson patients visit our Arizona chiropractic clinic after they were told that the only options for their knee pain were injections and knee replacements. Fortunately, these traditional interventions are not the only options you have. When you visit our clinic, Dr. Heaton will tell you that you can treat your knee pain without surgery or synthetic medicines. The majority of our patients respond well to our conservative chiropractic care.

Even the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends undergoing a non-invasive, non-medical approach for knee osteoarthritis before exploring invasive options. The reason for this is that postural imbalances and excess body weight can contribute to knee pain.

No More Pain

It doesn’t matter how long you’ve been enduring your knee pain. Dr. Heaton will provide you with the proper treatment plan after he has identified what’s causing it. If your knee pain is related to an accident or workplace incident, we also offer treatments for auto accident and work injury cases.
