Knee pain is a frequent issue for people in our South Buffalo chiropractic clinic, and Dr. Nowak has successfully provided many of these people relief. This is mostly because chiropractic therapy has been found to help with many kinds of knee pain.
For instance, some patients feel issues 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 article published in The Journal of the Canadian Chiropractic Association found that people with osteoarthritis in their knees felt significant 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 care could likely help with that as well. One study reported that integrating chiropractic treatment with soft tissue therapy, rest, ice, and compression on the affected knee helped lower the intensity of the pain.
Clearly, sometimes a knee replacement surgery is necessary in order to rectify the issue, and if that's the case, your chiropractor can also help improve the outcome. How?
Research Supports Chiropractic Treatment Helps With Knee Problems
Research has shown that people with low back pain frequently 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 recovery.
No matter what your knee issue, Dr. Nowak can likely help. Call our South Buffalo practice today and find out what we can do for you!
