Chiropractic Treatment for Knee Pain
Many things can cause knee pain. One is degeneration of the cartilage in the knee. Cartilage protects your knee from being bone on bone. A chiropractic adjustment to the back or to the knee might be able to help you get pain relief. When the back or the joint are out of alignment, the nerves might be unable to work properly. Spinal adjustments can also help with posture. The way that you walk has an effect on your joints and this effect might not be good if you have a bad gait when you walk.
