Knee pain is a common condition that can significantly impact your daily activities and overall quality of life. Whether caused by an injury, chronic condition, or overuse, knee pain can be debilitating and challenging to manage. At Balance Atlanta, we offer comprehensive care for knee pain, combining chiropractic treatments, functional medicine, and advanced therapies to address the root causes and provide effective relief.
Understanding the underlying cause of knee pain is essential for effective treatment. Here are some common causes:
Osteoarthritis is the most common form of arthritis and affects the knee joint by wearing down the cartilage over time. This degeneration leads to pain, stiffness, and swelling, which can worsen with activity and age.
The meniscus is a cartilage pad that cushions the knee joint. A tear in the meniscus, often caused by twisting or sudden impact, can lead to pain, swelling, and difficulty moving the knee.
Injuries to the ligaments that stabilize the knee, such as the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) or posterior cruciate ligament (PCL), can result in pain, instability, and swelling. These injuries often occur during sports or physical activities.
Patellar tendinitis, also known as “jumper’s knee,” is an inflammation of the patellar tendon that connects the kneecap to the shinbone. It is commonly caused by repetitive stress or overuse, especially in athletes.
Bursitis is the inflammation of the bursae, small fluid-filled sacs that cushion the knee joint. Prepatellar bursitis, or “housemaid’s knee,” can occur from frequent kneeling or trauma.
Runner’s knee, or patellofemoral pain syndrome, is characterized by pain around the kneecap, often caused by overuse, improper alignment, or muscle imbalances.
ITBS occurs when the iliotibial band, a thick band of tissue running along the outside of the thigh, becomes tight or inflamed. It often causes pain on the outer side of the knee, especially in runners and cyclists.
Gout is a type of arthritis caused by the buildup of uric acid crystals in the joints, including the knee. It can lead to sudden, severe pain, redness, and swelling.
At Balance Atlanta, we use a holistic approach to treat knee pain, focusing on non-invasive, drug-free methods to alleviate pain and support healing. Chiropractic care can provide significant relief by addressing misalignments, improving joint function, and promoting overall wellness.
Misalignments in the spine can affect the nervous system and contribute to knee pain. Chiropractic adjustments help realign the spine, improving nerve function and reducing referred pain in the knee.
Gentle adjustments to the knee joint can help improve alignment, reduce stiffness, and restore proper movement. This can alleviate pain and support the healing process.
Soft tissue therapies, such as myofascial release and trigger point therapy, target tight muscles and fascia around the knee. These techniques help release tension, improve circulation, and reduce pain.
Strengthening the muscles around the knee, including the quadriceps, hamstrings, and calf muscles, can support the joint and reduce pain. We develop customized exercise programs to improve strength, flexibility, and stability.
Dr. Caroline uses Class IV Laser and Shockwave, commonly utilized by professional sports teams, to improve knee joint mobility and reduce inflammation. These treatments enhance blood circulation, accelerate tissue healing, and break down adhesions, helping patients regain function and effectively relieve pain.
Improving overall posture and alignment can help reduce strain on the knee joint. We provide guidance on proper posture and ergonomic adjustments to prevent exacerbation of knee pain.
In addition to chiropractic care, Balance Atlanta utilizes functional medicine to support overall health and address factors contributing to knee pain.
