Knee Pain, PTD and Dislocation Care

Knee pain is a common condition that can be severely disabling and usually affects most people over 55 years old, although it is common amongst all age groups.

The most common causes are: dislocation, ligament sprains, muscles tears, arthritis, patella (knee cap) tracking dysfunction (PTD) and misalignment of the knee joint.

If there has been no cause of damage to the knee, many wonder what they have done to cause their knee pain? The Answer usually is nothing!

Knee joints can become misaligned and cause the supporting muscles to overwork.  When this occurs, the muscles become tired, overworked and tighten up, causing pain and instability.  This is a very common cause of knee pain that is seen in clinic and many patients have at Greensborough Family Chiropractic checks of their hips, knees and ankles, to help determine the cause of the problem and which treatment is appropriate.

PTD is caused when it does not move along a groove (under the knee cap) correctly, due to the muscles not working in a balanced fashion.  Strengthening exercises will help re-balance the muscles around the knee, we recommend they be done after the knee joint has had a chiropractic re-alignment and the joints adjusted, as in some cases exercise may cause the tight muscles to become even tighter, which may not be desirable.

The assessment may involve a postural and gait (how you walk) analysis to determine the cause of the problem, whether it’s due to the knee, hip, foot or low back.

Our Chiropractor has experience with management of serious sports injury sprains/strains, has good results with extremity conditions (Dr Mark was team chiropractor for an AFL footy team during their 2009 premiership year). If another specialist opinion is called for, he is willing to refer and co-manage with them to ensure you have optimal movement and function.

Should you require assistance for your knee problem with natural Chiropractic care, do contact us!

Ask yourself:

  • Do I want help for my knee problem?
  • Can I bend my knees like I used to do and pick things off the floor, could this be improved with care and exercise?
  • Can sports-people’s performance improve if their mis-aligned leg movements were corrected and realigned?

 

Long term use of anti-inflammatories should be avoided. Talk to your medical Dr as prolonged use of anti-inflammatories are the most common reason for medically caused problems (liver and kidneys). With your medical Dr's OK, you may want to have a break and try a natural, medication free approach for a while?
