Our Chiropractor in Charlotte Answers Common Questions about Treatments for Knee Pain

Knee pain can also make it difficult for you to perform everyday activities like climbing stairs, walking or running. Knee pain not only reduces your quality of life, but it can also cause you to live a sedentary lifestyle which can lead to the development of chronic illnesses. The professionals here at the Weig Chiropractic Center in Charlotte, have gathered a few of the most commonly asked questions about knee pain and have answered them here. 

I Have Not Been In An Accident And Have Not Had An Injury So Why Does My Knee Hurt?

If you have knee pain that you cannot associate with prior strains and sprains or injuries like a dislocated knee, you need to see a medical practitioner to have your knee evaluated. Your condition should be diagnosed promptly and proper treatment is initiated. 

What Is Knee Bursitis And Is It Serious?

Knee bursitis occurs when one or more of the three knee bursae become inflamed. Knee bursae are fluid sacs that act as gliding mechanisms to minimize friction between the tissues that move in the body. Bursitis can be very painful however, it is a benign condition. Bursitis can sometimes be infectious and require antibiotics, and in some cases surgery. Here in our office, our chiropractor uses hot and cold therapies as well as ultrasound therapy to treat bursitis of the knee. 

What Is Frozen Knee?

A frozen knee is the direct manifestation of a condition known as Frozen Joint Syndrome. Frozen Joint Syndrome is not centralized to the knees, as people are also affected by it following a rotator cuff injury. Frozen Joint Syndrome is a painful condition that reduces the range of motion in joints. Health practitioners have concluded that the stiffness associated with the disorder is caused by scar tissue, the capsule surrounding joints shrinking and chronic inflammation. Our chiropractor uses several methods to treat frozen knees including the Niel Asher Technique.
