Have Knee Pain? Chiropractic May Help

Knee pain is a recurring issue for people in our Hyattsville, District Heights chiropractic practice, and Dr. Aazami has successfully provided many of these folks relief. This is largely because chiropractic treatment has been found to help with many types of knee pain.

For instance, some patients feel discomfort in and around the knee tissues due to osteoarthritis. Research has shown that this condition responds very well to chiropractic and rather quickly, too. In fact, one study published in The Journal of the Canadian Chiropractic Association found that individuals with osteoarthritis in their knees felt considerable pain relief and improved function after just two weeks of chiropractic care.

If your knee pain is as a result of a medial meniscus sprain, chiropractic therapy could likely help with that as well. One study reported that combining 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 necessary in order to correct the issue, and if that's the case, chiropractic care can also help improve the outcome. How?

Research Proves Chiropractic Adjustments Helps With Knee Pain

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 prior to having a total knee arthroplasty can help with your post-surgery healing.

No matter what your knee issue, Dr. Aazami can likely help. Call our Hyattsville, District Heights practice today and find out what we can do for you!
