knee pain from a chiropractic perspective

During my 19 years in the chiropractic business here at Soft Touch Chiropractic in Porter Ranch, California, I have seen my fair share of patients with knee pain of all sorts. Here are some quick facts about diagnosing and treating knee pain.

NOT ALL KNEE PAINS ARE CREATED EQUAL
Knee pain can be caused by any of the following:

• Joints - injury to the ligaments or tears in the meniscus
• Bone - fracture or misalignment
• Muscle - spasms or tendon pain
• Nerve - sciatica. In this case, the pain does not initiate at the knee but at the sciatic nerve and then radiates to the knee.

​THE SOLUTION TO KNEE PAIN IS SIMPLE
80% of the knee pain cases I treat are caused by misalignments, muscle spasms or tendon issues.  If the muscles around the knee or tendons are the cause of the pain, I treat my patients with special therapeutic exercises and I prescribe home exercises as well. In the case of misalignment or sciatica a series of whole-body adjustments
