The knee provides flexibility, support, energy transfer, bending, and twisting capability. When this joint gets injured, wears, or breaks down, the fragility of the knee becomes apparent. Every step or movement can be painful. This joint pain can recur or be constant. If you struggle with knee pain, it's time to get help from Skocik Chiropractic in Harrisburg, PA.
Although, traditional medicine doesn't handle serious injury recovery well. The medicinal method is good at stabilizing and addressing immediate trauma and providing pharmaceuticals for temporary relief. However, long-term recovery often falls to chiropractic care.
Common Knee Injuries and Causes
Some of the most common injuries that involve our chiropractor are ligament pulls and tears, menisci tears, cartilage damage, bone fractures, bone chips, or breaking. Dislocations can also affect knee function and often require professional assistance.
Fractures tend to be small breaks in the knee bones, commonly the patella or the ends of the femur or tibia, due to shock. Given time and rest, they can heal. Yet, in difficult situations, surgical treatment may be necessary to remove splinters or shards that come loose and affect the function of the knee.
Soft tissue injuries involve sprains, stretching, or tearing ligaments in oneβs knee or surrounding. These ligament injuries can be partial or full separation, such as in an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tear.
Recovery, Healing, and Rehabilitation
After the surgery, knee pain can remain present for months, frequently through rehab and recovery. The goal is to work through this resistance and decrease scar tissue. Our chiropractor will work extensively to restore mobility with guided movement, alignment, and monitoring.
