The Knee Joint

The knee is a hinge joint surrounded by three main bones the patella (knee cap), femur (thighbone), and tibia (shinbone). Pain in the knee typically stems from injuries affecting this flexible joint, the bones, muscles, tendons, ligaments, or cartilages.

Common Causes of Knee Pain

The leading causes are linked to sudden or acute injuries, for example, a direct blow to the knee during sports activities. Chronic or underlying conditions due to aging, excess weight, repetitive use, or joint inflammation are other common causes. They include:

• Bursitis

• Arthritis or gout

• Osteoarthritis

• Ligament sprain

• Knee cap dislocation

• Knee cap fracture

• Iliotibial band syndrome

• Runner's knee (knee tendonitis)

• Torn knee cartilage (meniscal tears)
  
  

Typical Pain Symptoms

You may experience mild, severe, or excruciating pain depending on the underlying cause. A throbbing pain around or inside the knee cap is also common. These symptoms can make it difficult to walk, run, bend, climb stairs, or do other weight-bearing activities. Other pain symptoms are:

• Knee instability

• Knee buckling

• Stiffness, tenderness, or swelling

• Grinding sensation when moving the knee
  
  

Campion Chiropractic in College Station is Ideal for Knee Pain

In addition to bracing and Rock Tape or Dynamic Tape techniques, our chiropractors offer these natural, non-invasive treatment options:

• Joint Adjustment/Manipulation: Chiropractic manipulation and mobilization of the knee joint and connective tissue help to realign the dislocated knee cap. This relieves the pain significantly. The controlled forced used to perform the adjustment technique also helps to reduce inflammation, improve range of motion, and allow soft tissue to heal.

• Corrective Exercises: Exercise therapy works to rehabilitate the injured soft tissue and relieve joint restriction. It also strengthens and stabilizes the knee cap, correct muscle imbalances, and improve flexibility.

• Myofascial Release or Graston Therapy: These treatments pave the way for soft tissue healing. In addition to relaxing stiff muscles, MFR and Graston therapy improves blood circulation to the injured tissue which in turn reduces inflammation, alleviates aches and pains, and speeds up healing.

• Cold Laser Therapy: Cold laser therapy also reduces pain, soft tissue inflammation and accelerates healing.
