Knee Pain

Meniscus and ligament injuries are common causes of knee pain. But why do these structural tissues fail? What causes the knee to lose its ability to manage the forces exerted on it?   

Knee Pain

If you have been diagnosed with arthritis, meniscus tear, ACL or other ligament tear, you may have many treatment options available. Not all cases require surgery, many improve or resolve with appropriate, well-timed physical medicine such as chiropractic and physical therapy.

But what if your knee is not responding well to PT or chiropractic? What if your knee is not getting better but you would like to avoid surgery if possible? The answer may lie in the deep vital tissues that run through the knee – the blood vessels, nerves, and lymphatic tissue.

It is the responsibility of the bones, joints, and muscles to protect the vital internal structures. If the arteries and nerves are restricted, they can become adhered to the surrounding structural tissue, creating tension and restriction in muscles and ligaments. The knee won’t be able to move properly and its ligaments, cartilage, and muscles will be subject to repetitive stress and traumatic injuries.

When we take the time and look closely, we can find the restrictions in the deep vital tissues. By working gently and patiently we can assist the body in releasing these restrictions, which allows the knee to return to normal motion. Then the injured structural tissues can begin to heal.
