Knee Pain Treatment with Chiropractic

Knee pain is a common issue for patients in our Holtsville chiropractic clinic, and Dr. Cohen has happily provided many of these folks relief. This is mostly because chiropractic therapy has been found to help with many kinds of knee pain.

For example, some patients feel issues 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 paper published in The Journal of the Canadian Chiropractic Association found that men and women with osteoarthritis in their knees felt significant pain relief and enhanced function after just two weeks of chiropractic care.

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

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

Research Proves Chiropractic Treatment Helps With Knee Problems

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

No matter what your knee issue, Dr. Cohen can likely help. Call our Holtsville clinic today and find out what we can do for you!
