Symptoms of knee pain include :
Symptoms will vary by person and the severity of your condition.
Some common causes of knee pain include overuse, arthritis, and injuries.
Overuse can occur from too much walking, running, or jumping. This can lead to inflammation of the knee joint and the surrounding tissues.
Osteoarthritis is a common cause of knee pain, especially in adults 60 and older.
The knee joint is a complex joint made up of the thigh bones, the lower leg, and the kneecap.
The joint is held together by a network of ligaments, tendons, and muscles. The knee joint is one of the human body's largest and most complex joints. It is a weight-bearing joint that allows for a wide range of motion, making it vulnerable to injury.
Your first visit to a chiropractor for knee pain will require you to fill out healthcare surveys. You may fill out information including your medical history and current symptoms.
Be prepared to answer questions the chiropractor has about your pain. For instance, when your problems started, what worsens your pain, and what brings pain relief.
Your chiropractor will also likely want to know if you've been in any accidents. Or if you have any medical conditions that could contribute to your pain. They will also ask about your diet, lifestyle habits, and any other treatments you've tried in the past.
Prepare for your first chiropractic visit by gathering all the necessary medical information. You will want to determine your family's medical history and gather other medical documents. Doing so will help your specialist's diagnosis and ensure you have an optimal treatment plan.
You should also wear loose-fitting clothing. This clothing helps the chiropractor easily move your body during the session.
Chiropractic treatment for knee pain is an excellent alternative to surgery, medication, and other traditional treatments. If you have severe symptoms, you will need to see a doctor. Otherwise, it is safe to see a professional and trained chiropractor.
