Springfield Knee Pain Treatment Options

Knee Pain Treatment in Springfield

We treat a lot of knee pain treatment patients here inn Springfield and thought it would be helpful to make a blog post that discusses this issue and takes a look at potiental treatments. Knee pain is a result of doing things such as: degeneration, injury, or wrong movements. Let’s take a look at some ways you can treat knee pain treatment in Springfield.

Chiropractic Care

We offer chiropractic care, and would take measures to evaluate the entire body, not just the knee. Often times, knee pain is caused by other injuries or problems in different areas of the body. In this case, the hips and knees have a direct relationship, which means treating the hips could potentially help with the knee pain.

Cold Laser Therapy

Colder laser therapy is cold lasers stimulate soft tissue. This increases blood flow and helps decrease healing time of the specific area of the body. This works great for treating knee issues. Cold laser therapy is non invasive, and will cause only as much as a slight tingle during treatment. Cold laser works best with chiropractic to create maximum results.

Hip Exercises

Like we mentioned above, the hips and knees are directly related. This means physical therapy on the hip may gradually improve knee pain. A study was done that involved 36 knee pain patients: 18 men and 18 women. These people were split into two groups comprised of 9 men and women each. One group did knee therapy for three months, while the other did hip therapy for three months. This research found that although both groups experienced improvements, the hip exercise group had even better, more improved outcomes than those in the knee group.

All of the knee pain treatments in Springfield will work best combined to help you achieve maximum pain relief.
