Knee pain is one of the most common complaints we see at Regenesis Pain Management & Rehab Clinic in Vaughan. Whether caused by an injury, overuse, or an underlying condition like arthritis, knee pain can seriously  disrupt your daily life. However, our chiropractors do offer an effective solution to alleviate pain, improve mobility, and support long-term knee health. In this blog post, we’ll explore how chiropractic treatment can help relieve knee pain and why it might be the solution you’ve been searching for.

Understanding Knee Pain: Common Causes

Before diving into how chiropractic care can help, it’s important to understand the common causes of knee pain. Read our earlier blog post about sports-injury related knee pain HERE. Some common causes of knee pain that we see include:

• Osteoarthritis: A degenerative condition that leads to the breakdown of cartilage in the knee joint, often causing pain and stiffness.
• Patellar Tendonitis: Inflammation of the tendon that connects the kneecap to the shinbone, commonly caused by overuse or repetitive motions.
• Ligament Injuries: Such as ACL or MCL tears, often occurring due to sports or trauma.
• Overuse Injuries: Including issues like runner’s knee, which can develop from repetitive activities like running or jumping.

How Chiropractic Care Can Help Relieve Knee Pain

Chiropractic care is not just for back pain; it can also provide significant relief for knee pain. Here's how it works:

1. Joint Mobilization

Our chiropractors use joint mobilization techniques to improve the range of motion and function of the knee joint. This technique involves gentle manipulation of the knee joint to reduce stiffness, relieve pain, and improve mobility. This can be especially beneficial for people suffering from conditions like osteoarthritis or patellar tendonitis.

2. Soft Tissue Therapy & Acupuncture

Our chiropractors often incorporate soft tissue therapies to target tight muscles and tendons around the knee. These therapies can help release muscle tension, improve circulation, and promote healing in the affected area. Our chiropractors can also use acupuncture and electro-acupuncture, which uses low level electrical stimulation to target affected areas. Read more about electroacupuncture here.

3. Exercise Rehabilitation

A chiropractor can also guide you through rehabilitative exercises to strengthen the muscles around your knee and improve stability. Strengthening the quadriceps, hamstrings, and calves can help protect the knee joint from further injury and reduce the likelihood of recurring pain. At Regenesis, we have a gym in our Vaughan rehab clinic to help get you back to your strongest self. Our exercise rehabilitation treatments all start with an in-depth consultation, where you discuss your goals.  To book your initial exercise rehab session, click here.

4. Laser Therapy

At our Vaughan chiropractic clinic, we provide low-level laser therapy, a treatment that targets soft tissues and muscles to help reduce inflammation. This technique accelerates the healing process by promoting blood flow, which in turn helps alleviate pain. We have an entire blog post dedicated to how Laser can help with your pain, click here for more information.
