Chronic knee pain and a reduction in normal physical mobility occur when the intricate structure of the knee becomes impaired or misaligned due to a variety of reasons. Injury, overuse, muscle tightness, joint degeneration and problems that actually began in the ankle, hip and foot, can often be linked to chronic knee pain. Unfortunately, many knee problems are misdiagnosed and treated with pain medications or unnecessary invasive procedures that may ultimately prove to be ineffective. SpineRevive Chiropractic chiropractors in Langley are certified to provide an accurate diagnosis of your knee problem and design chiropractic care plans that alleviate pain and restore your mobility and qualify life.

Causes of Knee Pain

Knee pain can be caused by many issues that derive from degenerative joint conditions including arthritis, bursitis or untreated past injuries, weight gain and overuse through constant repetitive movement. Tendons, cartilage, and ligaments are subject to wear and tear and eventually the fluidity, flexibility and smooth functioning of the kneecap becomes limited. Rigorous sports activity and intense physical exertion is often a cause of chronic knee pain and related mobility problems. If not promptly treated, knee conditions will eventually result in degenerative joint disease and/or various forms of arthritis. A SpineRevive Chiropractic chiropractor will identify the source of your knee pain and provide chiropractic care treatment plans to re-establish proper muscle balance, reduce pain and restore mobility.
