Spinal Manipulation + Soft Tissue Therapy for Back Pain
Spinal manipulation plus soft tissue therapy reduces chronic back pain more effectively than either alone by addressing joint and muscle dysfunction together.
Knee pain is a common musculoskeletal condition and more commonly affects the elderly in the form of knee arthritis. Arthritis or wear and tear of the knee joint significantly impacts functional abilities and level of activity participation. Another common reason for knee pain are ligament and tendon injuries from a fall or sport related injuries.
The knee joint is a simple joint that bends in one direction namely flexion and extension. The knee joint holds the majority weight of the body and is an important stabilizing joint that transmits forces from the feet and through the hips. The knee joint is composed of many important ligaments that stabilize the joint internally and externally as well as a meniscus that provides the cushion between the two bones.
Symptoms of This Condition:
Knee Swelling or Redness
Limited Straightening
Knee Stiffness
Popping or Crunching
Knee Weakness
Knee injuries are most commonly musculoskeletal injuries. Trauma such as in contact sports can injure the supporting ligaments. Other common causes for knee pain are arthritis from meniscus wear and tear related to age.
However, one other major cause for knee pain is strain and sprains in the muscles of the leg that have attachments to the bones in and around the knee namely The Adductors, Hamstrings, Quadriceps and Gastroc muscle groups.
Common Types of Knee Injuries
Knee injury has more than one type with more than one causes. Below are the most common types of knee injuries.
Common Causes of Condition Include:
Twisting or pivoting movements
Falls or direct impact
Overuse or repetitive stress
Sports involving jumping or running
Weak muscles or poor alignment
Age-related wear and tear

Chiropractors have extensive training in diagnosing and assessing various types of knee pain. If the injury is musculoskeletal in nature, treatments such as active release technique, kinesiology taping and exercise prescriptions are very effective at treating the condition.
If ligament or meniscus tears are suspected, imaging referrals will be made to investigate the condition further. However, it is important to seek care as soon as possible as many prehab exercises can facilitate the healing of the injury and is by far superior over a “wait and see” approach.
