Chronic Knee Pain Management
Knee pain may come and go. For instance, the pain may improve whenever you rest after moving or bending your knee for long hours. On the other hand, some people may experience knee pain at various points in the day. More often, these people are likely to feel knee pain first thing when they wake up in the morning. Again, it is also common to feel pain in your knees at night, especially after having a physically draining day.
As such, at OPRI Health (Organic Pharmacy Research Institute) located in Bakersfield, we understand that chronic knee pain can be a prevalent condition that negatively impacts an individual’s quality of life. Therefore, understanding the origins of knee discomfort and locating efficient therapies is essential for controlling and reducing it, regardless of whether it results from underlying medical disorders, injury, or overuse of the knee tissues.
Causes of Chronic Knee Pain
- Osteoarthritis: Osteoarthritis is a degenerative joint disease that is often marked by cartilage degradation. As your knee cartilage degrades, bones may begin to rub against one another in the knee joint, resulting in discomfort, stiffness, and inflammation.
- Injuries: There’s no doubt that you can sustain knee injuries from traumatic events such as fractures, meniscus tears, and ligament tears, also commonly known as ACL or MCL tears. Even after the initial healing phase, there’s a possibility you’ll feel subtle knee pain that may require continuous care.
- Overuse and Wear and Tear: You’re likely to experience wear and tear or overuse of your knee ligaments and muscles from activities like sprinting, jumping, or prolonged exposures to standing that put repetitive strain on the knee joint. As a result, over time, persistent knee overuse can lead to knee inflammation and chronic pain.
Treatment Options for Chronic Knee Pain
After diagnosing chronic knee pain, our chiropractors will put you on physical therapy and chiropractic adjustment. This therapy aims to increase your joint stability and reduce pain. Moreover, physical therapy ensures that muscles around your knee are strengthened to increase flexibility and correct abnormal movement patterns, ensuring chronic pain relief.
Secondly, chiropractic adjustments. Our chiropractor may consider this treatment option to modify the surrounding joints such as the hips, pelvis, and spine. This way, the modifications aim to get the entire musculoskeletal system back into appropriate alignment and function.
Lastly, soft tissue therapy. To relax the tensions in the muscles and other tissues surrounding the knee, as well as to enhance circulation and encourage healing, our chiropractors may opt for this soft tissue therapy as the ideal pain treatment. Moreover, soft tissue therapy takes into consideration things like massage therapy, myofascial release, and instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization (IASTM) to alleviate chronic knee pain.

KNEE PAIN TREATMENT
Knee pain can be a challenging and discomforting issue, often arising from various causes such as injuries, arthritis, or mechanical imbalances. Chiropractic care offers a holistic approach to address knee pain by focusing on the musculoskeletal system and its alignment. Chiropractors utilize adjustments and manipulations to realign the joints, including the knee, aiming to alleviate pain, improve mobility, and restore proper function. Additionally, chiropractic treatment may involve rehabilitative exercises, lifestyle recommendations, and ergonomic advice to support overall knee health and prevent future discomfort. While chiropractic care may not be a one-size-fits-all solution, many individuals find relief and improved knee function through this non-invasive and drug-free approach.
