Best Way to Relieve Arthritic Knee Pain

We give very little credit to some of the superheroes of our physical body – our body parts. One of the most important ones are our knees. Only when our knees are functioning optimally, we can walk from one spot to another, run away from dangerous situations, swim in a pool, dance to the rhythm of music, play football in the evenings. Things as simple as getting out of bed and going up the stairs can become cumbersome if our knees were experiencing aches. Arthritic knee pain is detrimental to our mobility and function, taking good care of our knees must be made our priority.

There are many reasons why the knees would hurt, one of them is arthritis. Pain in the knees are caused by chronic misaligned pelvis, obesity, repetitive stress from sport injuries or various reasons and this can lead to arthritic knee pain. There are a few symptoms, although they differ quite a fair bit amongst different cohorts, that give us early signals that we may have arthritic knee issues.

• Stiffness in the knee and limited range of motion
• Popping sound and in some cases sensation of grinding
• Swelling in the knee, more apparent in the morning and an extended time of inactivity
• Locking of the knee

Joint damage cannot be reversed and it is vital to seek earlytreatment at the first sign of knee pain. Chiropractic interventionis very effective in treating arthritic knee pain just as it is effective in treating the spine.Chiropractic is able to treat knee pain without utilizing prescriptionmedications or surgical procedures by focusing on the root cause of the problem - getting the bone at a optimised alignment. This way, we ensure thatthe patients do not endure complications or side effects.

Majority of the joint pain we experience everyday is actually caused by excessive pressure to the joint due to a bad bones alignment which can be resulted from a fall, heavy lifting or general bad posture.Bad bone position will then cause a dysfunction at the joint which results in inflammation or chronic swelling as you know it.In ALIGNED, when it comes to knee pain, we begin with an examination and evaluation of the whole spine as well as the knee tofind out the root cause of it all. Instead of treating symptoms onthe surface level. We do perform thorough examination for the whole body to find out the underlying issue, ensuring the actual problem is being addressed and the knee does not further degrade in the future due to negligence.

Once we identified the root cause we will then performspecific adjustment technique to correct the misalignment. The right approach to the treatment is toensure that the patient’s improvement can be measured through a series of specific and thorough adjustments with assessment very single time. Many of our physical pains arelinked to the spine, as it plays a multifaceted role in our centralnervous system. Able to identify and correcting the specific misalignment in the spine is essential and we can’t emphasise enough of how important it is to you.Simply put, getting the body in right alignment should always be the first step to getting arthritic knee pain correctly managed.

At ALIGNED, we utilised Gonstead Chiropractic care to provides thorough assessment before providing specific adjustment to the spine and knee.While most practices would mobilise the knee and start prescribing exercises without assessing the spine, we do not recommend that approach as may cause more damage to the knee. Being thorough in assessment and getting the whole body assessed a specific manner is what we do in ALIGNED. Being specific allows us to correct the problem in the shortest amount of time, it is also the best way to avoid causing joint damage.

In a nut shell, the best way to relieve arthritic knee pain is to get the entire spine checked as soon as you start experiencing discomfort at the knee because knee pain isn’t commonly caused by knee problem.
