Knee Pain Treatment in Sturgis
Knee pain affects people of all ages and activity levels, and it’s one of the most common reasons patients seek chiropractic care at Key City Chiropractic & Acupuncture. Whether your knee pain comes on suddenly from an injury or has developed gradually over time, the discomfort can be significant — swelling, stiffness, popping or crunching sensations, and a feeling of weakness or instability in the joint. According to the CDC, 15 million Americans experience joint pain related to arthritis each year, and the knees are among the most affected joints in the body. Dr. Jerrid Goebel offers comprehensive, drug-free chiropractic care designed to address the root cause of knee pain and help you get back to moving freely.
Common Causes of Knee Pain
Knee pain can stem from a wide range of injuries and conditions. Traumatic injuries are a frequent cause and may involve fractures to the bones of the knee, ACL (anterior cruciate ligament) tears, or a torn meniscus — the rubbery cartilage that acts as a shock absorber between the thigh and shinbones. Inflammatory conditions such as bursitis and patellar tendonitis can also develop, as can various forms of arthritis including osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, gout, and septic arthritis.
Chiropractic Treatment Options for Knee Pain
At Key City Chiropractic & Acupuncture, Dr. Goebel begins with a thorough examination of the knee and surrounding structures, and may use imaging to identify the precise cause of your pain. Because knee pain has so many possible origins, treatment is always individualized. Depending on the diagnosis, care may include:
- Strength training and stretching exercises: Targeted rehabilitation to build the muscle support needed to stabilize the knee joint and prevent re-injury
- Soft tissue manipulation and trigger point therapy: Hands-on techniques to release tension in the muscles and connective tissues surrounding the knee
- Spinal and extremity adjustments: Chiropractic manipulation to correct alignment issues in the spine, hips, and lower extremities that may be contributing to knee stress
- Low-level laser therapy: Non-invasive treatment to reduce inflammation and accelerate tissue healing in and around the knee joint
- Ultrasound therapy: Sound wave technology to ease deep tissue inflammation and promote healing
- Healthy weight and nutrition guidance: Lifestyle recommendations to reduce the load on the knee joint and support long-term joint health
