Overview
Knee pain affects people of all ages. Knee pain can be from an obvious injury, such as a ruptured ligament or torn cartilage, or from a repetitive injury causing joint degeneration. Before resorting to harmful and dangerous drugs and surgery, try safe and pain-free chiropractic care.
Symptoms
The location and severity of knee pain vary depending on the cause of the problem. Signs and symptoms that accompany knee pain include:
-Weakness or instability
-Swelling and stiffness
-Popping or crunching noises
-inability to fully straighten or bend the knee
Treatment
Medical treatment of knee pain involves physical therapy or surgery. Both treatments can lead to more damage, loss of function, and more pain. A common complication of knee surgery is a pulmonary embolism which can cause death. Here at Aspen Chiropractic: A Spine, Hand, and Foot Clinic, we are pleased to offer an advanced, safe, and non-surgical treatment for knee conditions. Dr. Paul Gurney has advanced, post-doctorate training in the treatment of knee conditions. Just like improper alignment of your car tires lead to your tires wearing out early; improper alignment of your knees can lead to a number of knee problems as well as knee degeneration. Consequently, restoring the proper alignment and function of the knees can lead to healing of many knee conditions. In addition to restoring the proper position and function of the knees, our office uses FDA cleared cold laser to stimulate the joint to regenerate and rebuild damaged cartilage, meniscus, joint capsule and ligaments.
Finding the Right Doctor
When evaluating a chiropractor, the National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine suggests asking about the professional’s licensing and training, and whether that training included the specific problem you’re experiencing. Dr. Paul Gurney is the only chiropractor in Provo and Orem that is certified in the treatment of the knee and has over 20 years experience in the treatment of the knee. Why trust anyone else?
