Fun Fact
Knee pain is one of the most common complaints of Americans of all ages. The pain can result from an injury, arthritis or other condition
Understanding Knee Pain
The knee is one of the most complex joints in the body. It comprises four bones, held together by ligaments and tendons, which allow efficient movement. There are also muscles around the knee that control movement and provide stability.
Any strain on these soft tissues around the joints will result in debilitating pain hindering your mobility capabilities. Here are some of the common types of knee pain and their causes;
Anterior knee pain
This pain is often felt in the front of the knee. It is often caused by overuse, such as running or jumping, or by misalignment of the leg or hip. It can also be caused by patellofemoral syndrome, which is a condition that affects the joint between the kneecap (patella) and the thigh bone (femur).
Medial knee pain
This is a pain in the inner side of the knee. It occurs when you have overuse or repetitive stress injuries to your knees.
Athletes who participate in sports that require frequent pivoting, cutting, and jumping may be more prone to medial knee pain because they put a lot of stress on their knees.
Posterior knee pain
This is a pain in the back of your knee. A torn meniscus or ACL injury can cause posterior knee pain.
Meniscus tear
This is a tear in the C-shaped piece of cartilage that cushions the knee joint. It will often cause pain, swelling, and difficulty moving the knee.
Knee pain can range from mild to severe and may be accompanied by swelling, stiffness, and difficulty moving the joint.
How we Alleviate Knee Pain in Las Vegas
We typically start with a thorough evaluation of the patient’s medical history and a physical examination of the knee. During the examination, our chiropractor can use a variety of techniques to establish the cause of the pain, including:
- Range of motion testing:We will assess the patient's ability to move their knee through its full range of motion to determine if there are any restrictions or limitations.
- Palpation: We will touch and feel the knee to identify any areas of tenderness or swelling.
- Special tests:We may use specific tests, such as the Lachman test or the McMurray test, to assess the stability and function of the knee joint.
Once we have established the cause of your pain, we will develop a personalized treatment plan for your needs. This can include chiropractic adjustments or manipulations to improve the alignment of the bones in the leg, soft tissue therapy to reduce inflammation and improve flexibility, and stretching and exercise to strengthen the muscles around the knee.
