Knee Pain
Our practitioners effectively manage many of the problems that cause knee pain and although a condition such as osteoarthritis is not curable, the symptoms can be reduced and the progression of the problem can be helped thanks to our unique approach to treatment. Here are some examples: If knee pain is limiting your day-to-day or sporting activities, have you have been given painkillers and told to rest with no long-term improvement, or have you have been told you have arthritis and there is nothing that can be done?
At Inner West Chiropractic Care, we will commonly take the following approach:
1. Reduce joint inflammation and reduce pain with ultrasound and interferential therapy.
2. Normalise joint function with specific Chiropractic adjustments and mobilisation techniques to areas of restricted movement in the knee and surrounding joints, so that we increase movement, improve the function and reduce pain. We may also use deep soft tissue massage, trigger-point therapy and cross-friction.
3. Rehabilitation exercise program. When appropriate we introduce exercises to improve strength, endurance and stability. We also work on improving your balance and your sense of joint position (proprioception). This will help you to return to normal and also prevent new injuries.
