• Osteoarthritis: Osteoarthritis can develop when the articular cartilage of the knee wears out due to injury or aging.
• Patellar Tendonitis: This condition is common in athletes and occurs when the patellar tendon becomes inflamed.

Chiropractic treatments for mild and severe knee pain include:

• Infrared Sauna: Heat from an Infrared device can help reduce knee pain by improving circulation and easing stiffness.
• Ultrasound Therapy: Sound waves from an ultrasound machine can massage the tissues in the affected area, which can help reduce stiffness, pain, and inflammation.
• Manual Manipulation: This is the most common chiropractic technique, which involves using the hands to align the spine and joints to increase mobility, improve posture, and relieve stress.
• Cold laser Therapy: This intricate treatment helps with speeding up recovery time and alleviates inflammation.
• Traction Therapy: With this treatment approach, our chiropractors stretch the knee to release pressure off the joint to improve mobility and reduce inflammation.
• Electrotherapy: This treatment uses an electrical device that delivers mild electric pulses, which work to ease tension, increase circulation, and alleviate swelling on the affected knee.

• Massage therapy
• Anti-inflammatory diet
• Hot and cold therapy
• Acupuncture
