The knee joint, a complex network of bones, ligaments, and tendons, is surprisingly vulnerable to injury. From sports mishaps to everyday wear-and-tear, knee pain can significantly disrupt your life. At Westmoreland Chiropractic and Rehab Associates in Export and Greensburg, PA, we provide various treatments to relieve any pain you may be experiencing and improve your health. Before visiting us, read about some common injuries our chiropractors can help with below:

Sprains and Strains

Sprains and strains, resulting from sudden twists or repetitive stress, are among the most frequent knee injuries. Chiropractic adjustments can realign the joint, which can reduce inflammation and help you heal faster. Additionally, our chiropractors can teach you strengthening exercises to help prevent further injuries.

Patellar Tendinitis

Patellar tendinitis occurs when the tendon connecting the kneecap to the shinbone becomes inflamed and is common among athletes who jump frequently. Chiropractic care can address this issue by reducing inflammation and improving flexibility in the surrounding muscles. This holistic approach can help you get back to your active lifestyle without pain.

Meniscus Tears

The meniscus, a cartilage cushion within the knee joint, can tear due to sudden impact or overuse. While some tears require surgical repair, chiropractic manipulation, and rehabilitation can alleviate pain and improve knee function in milder cases. Our chiropractors can assess the severity of your injury and recommend the most appropriate treatment.

Osteoarthritis

Osteoarthritis is a common cause of knee pain in older adults. While not a cure, chiropractic care can help with managing symptoms due to osteoarthritis. Our chiropractors will use techniques that can improve joint mobility and reduce inflammation, which can significantly enhance your quality of life.
