Cumming Knee Pain Treatment and Chiropractic Care

Cumming Knee Pain Treatment and Chiropractic Care

Knee pain is a very common condition and it can badly affect your day to day activities. There are different causes of knee pain which includes overuse, injury, aging, and medical conditions like arthritis.

Your knee consists of tendons and ligaments along with cartilage and these parts work together to help bear the body weight and to bend it. This also makes the area prone to injuries, and it can take several months to recover.

Whether the injury is acute or chronic, it will cause a dramatic change in the way you walk and execute your normal day activities.

Cumming Knee Injury Treatment

We serve the residents of Cumming, Georgia and surrounding areas with knee injury treatments.

Most of the knee problems can be treated without surgery, except a few which require surgery or even full replacement. One of the major causes of knee injury is arthritis which causes the deterioration of the cartilage.

Some of the common symptoms that indicate knee injury related issues include:

• Locking or clicking knees when you bend them
• Deformed knee joints
• Difficulty or inability to straighten or bend knees
• Unable to bear weight on the affected leg
• Swelling, inflammation, numbness, discoloration and tingling below the affected knee

Knee pain can be mild or severe and develops gradually or suddenly. In worst case scenario your other body parts may also be affected. If you feel pain in your knees you should consult one of our experts at Arise Family Chiropractic.

Dr. Cortner will thoroughly evaluate your knee, locate the root cause of the issue, and then discuss the possible treatments so the patients are aware of everything.

Whether it was an injury at the job, due to a car accident, or chronic pain following overuse, you can trust us for all kinds of knee injury related issues.

We have a range of advanced non-surgical, chiropractic based treatments which helps to alleviate pressure off the joint, align the joint, and provide instant relief from pain.

Types of Knee Pain

There are two types of knee pain people suffer from:

Acute Knee Pain

This involves injury to tendons which causes them to swell and reduce the range of motion. The tendon can also rupture or tear if they are overused or overstretched. Chiropractic treatment for  acute knee pain may be a suitable option.

Chronic Knee Pain

Chronic knee pain can arise from osteoporosis and arthritis. Both the conditions affect the cartilage at the end of your bones. Another medical condition known as degenerative joint disease can also cause the joint to wear down and result in chronic pain.

Causes of Knee Pain

To know the root cause of knee pain, we check your medical history, conduct a physical examination, and perform diagnostic tests. This helps us to evaluate the severity of the pain in order to provide the best treatment for you.

Apart from that, some of the most common causes include:

Knee Bursitis

This is a condition very common among people who have to stay constantly on their knees like roofers, athletes, plumbers, etc. Here the bursae, which are the small fluid filled sacs cushioning the outside of your knee joint , become inflamed or swell,  leading to bursitis. Usually a sudden blow to the front of the knee can badly damage the bursae.

Fractures

Accidental falls or collision with a hard object can cause fractures in your knee bone. A direct blow on the front face of the knee can damage the kneecap and break it. Individuals who are suffering with osteoporosis can even fracture knees just by stepping off a curb in the wrong way. If the fracture is very severe, it may require a surgery.

Uric Acid Build Up

Sometimes uric acid crystals can build up in the joints which causes gout. Gout is a very painful condition, and it causes swelling and inflammation in your knees, reducing their range of motion.

Infection

Infections such as cellulitis (a bacterial skin infection) can affect your knees and the area around your knees. If treatment is not received in time, the can spread to other parts of your body. Cellulitis can also enter your lymph nodes and bloodstream and become life-threatening.

Treatment for Knee Pain

Depending on the underlying cause of your knee pain, we will suggest the most appropriate treatment. Sometimes the treatment is as simple as rest, ice, and compression.

However, if the injury is serious it can require medical intervention. At Arise Family Chiropractic, we use advanced structural chiropractic care and nutrition to help restore and maintain your health.
