What Causes Knee Pain in St Paul MN?

Knee pain often occurs due to the natural aging process and wear and tear of the knee and surrounding tissues. An estimated 100 million Americans suffer from knee pain, showing just how common and unavoidable it can be at times.

Common causes of chronic and acute knee pain can include:

  • Inflammation of the joints
  • Dislocated joints
  • Excess stress on the knee due to obesity
  • Arthritis
  • Prior injuries to the knee
  • Poor support of the feet or conditions like plantar fasciitis
  • Torn meniscus
  • ACL injuries

If you are older, work a job that requires you to stand for long amounts of time, have previously suffered a knee injury, or have obesity, these all might put you at greater risk of experiencing knee pain. In addition to knee pain, you could also have symptoms including swelling, fevers, a knee that is hot to the touch, weakness, trouble with flexing or moving the knee, or pain that radiates to other parts of the body.


How Can a Chiropractor Help?

Knee pain has many causes that might not be readily apparent. Knee pain can also cause a host of other issues that need to be solved using chiropractic treatment. Our chiropractor at Capitol Health and Injury Center will determine the root cause of your pain by conducting a thorough physical exam, taking a detailed account of your medical history, and conducting imaging tests like x-rays.

After the root cause of pain is determined, chiropractic treatments that can be effective include:

  • Manual adjustments
  • Trigger point therapy
  • Laser therapy
  • Massage therapy
  • Muscle exercises to increase strength and mobility
  • Muscle stretches to reduce inflammation of surrounding knee tissues

Recommended treatment options will depend on the cause and severity of your knee pain. Over time, chiropractic adjustments will relieve your pain, restore your range of motion, and improve your body’s natural ability to repair itself.
