Knee Pain Causes and Treatments

Living with chronic knee pain can affect even the simplest of everyday tasks. Bending to sit down, stand up, or even walking a few feet can send searing pain into your knee joints.

Fortunately, there are all-natural methods of treatment that can fix your debilitating pain at the source. But in order to treat the pain, first the underlying cause must be determined.

There are many different causes for knee pain, including:

• Strains and Sprains
• Dislocated knee or injury
• Runners Knee
• Tendonitis
• Bursitis
• Torn Meniscus
• MCL tear
• Chronic inflammation
• Repetitive use
• Cartilage damage
• Osteoarthritis

Effective Treatments for Knee Pain

Chiropractic Care – A chiropractor will assess the body’s alignment, and may apply manipulation and mobilization techniques in the joints and areas of the knee that are restricted in order to relieve pain and improve movement.

Platelet-Rich Plasma Therapy – In this treatment, a small sample of your own blood is extracted and spun in a centrifuge to create a rich, golden solution full of healing platelets, otherwise known as platelet-rich plasma, or PRP. This healing solution is injected into your knee, and regenerates your damaged tissue and cartilage. When this treatment is introduced to the injured area, the regeneration process begins immediately, and inflammation and pain is quickly reduced.
