​How chiropractic care can assist in managing knee, foot, and ankle pain.

​

Are you feeling down due to pain in your knee, foot, or ankle? As you get older, the likelihood of experiencing more frequent lower leg discomfort, particularly in the knee, foot, and ankle, rises significantly. Around 24 percent of adults experience joint conditions from their knees downwards. Symptoms like tenderness, limited mobility, difficulty walking or bearing weight, and joint stiffness or swelling may indicate a potential risk of developing osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, or related conditions.

If knee, foot, or ankle pain occurs without any injury, it is probably because of pressure from a rise in body weight or a lifestyle change. Due to their small size, the joints below the knee can easily be strained or shifted by significant changes in body weight or lifestyle, impacting the knee, foot, and ankle.

Chiropractic treatment is an effective method for relieving and controlling swelling and discomfort in the lower leg due to knee, foot, and ankle issues. Regular chiropractic treatment offers patients experiencing knee, foot, and ankle pain a secure, non-invasive, and non-addictive option to prescription drugs or over-the-counter pain medications typically used to alleviate pain and inflammation.

Chiropractors provide a gentle, non-invasive, non-addictive treatment called a chiropractic adjustment. Chiropractic adjustments aim to decrease inflammation and enhance function of joints and the nervous system by alleviating joint restrictions and misalignments in the spine and other parts of the body. By enhancing joint flexibility, boosting nervous system performance, and improving spinal health, your body can more effectively alleviate symptoms resulting from knee, foot, and ankle pain.

Listed below are a few of the health advantages that chiropractic treatment and adjustments can offer to individuals with knee, foot or ankle pain:

​

  • Improved flexibility.

  • Reduced pain and discomfort.

  • Improved range of motion.

  • Increased activity and lifestyle.

In order to determine if chiropractic treatment is suitable for your condition, the chiropractor at Spinal Solutions will conduct a consultation, examination and may recommend diagnostic imaging like x-rays or MRIs if needed. After examining you and conducting a consultation, your chiropractor may collaborate with other healthcare providers like massage therapists, physical therapists, or primary care physicians in treating your knee, foot, and ankle pain.
