What Are the Primary Causes?

The number one cause of knee pain is improper tracking caused by distortion in the hips and lower back. If our hips shift, then how we’re putting stress on our knees begins to change significantly. As we continue that wear and tear over time, suddenly, you’ll get many different types of knee pain.

Trauma, such as sports injuries, also contributes to knee pain. If ignored, these injuries can cause long-term damage to the joint, leading to degeneration in both the injured and non-injured sides of the body due to compensatory movements.

Chiropractic Treatment for Knee Pain

Our chiropractors assess the alignment component, how we’re putting stress on those joints, and how we help communication coordination be as effective as possible to give the body the best chance to heal. NetworkSpinal care goes a step beyond that. We recognize that it’s not just joint mechanics that are coordinating the knee. The nervous system doesn’t want to be in pain, so whenever our nervous system is in pain, it immediately does whatever it can to avoid it.

One way it does that is by “dimming the light” to create connective tissue tension around the spinal cord and spinal nerves to decrease the pain signal. As we become more numb to the pain, we continue to put wear and tear on those joints, and things can begin to break down. It’s more than a physical reaction that starts to happen; it can also create emotional and mental agitation in the entire system.

Through the NetworkSpinal care approach, we’re helping the brain find where these stress patterns and tension along the spinal cord and spinal nerves are happening. We’re helping to open up that communication, creating more effective nerve flow that allows our hips to begin to find a more stable position. Thus, better-coordinated stress and tension are put on the knees, allowing them to support us even better.

How Chiropractic Compares to Other Treatments

Many people turn to physical therapy or surgery for knee pain relief, but chiropractic care offers a non-invasive and holistic alternative. PT primarily addresses muscle mechanics, but since the nervous system controls muscles, it’s also important to address the neurological component.

Our opinion at Self Unbound is to start with the least invasive approach. First, give your body the best fighting chance. We get that sometimes surgery is necessary, however. What we find is that our patients who started to get care with us but needed that extra level of support were able to heal much faster than those who didn’t have that intervention before going into surgery.
