Knee Pain Treatment
At Prospine Chiropractic, we understand how much knee pain can influence on daily life and overall well-being. We take a detailed medical history, perform a thorough physical examination specifically to the knee joint and surrounding areas to identify any areas of restricted movement or misalignment. This may involve assessing your posture, gait, range of motion, orthopaedic tests, muscle strength, stability, and any signs of inflammation or swelling in the knee.
Based on the evaluation, we may recommend a combination of chiropractic adjustments, soft tissue therapies, exercises, modalities, lifestyle modifications, and other interventions to address your knee pain and improve joint function.
