Knee, Foot & Ankle Injuries

Knee, foot, or ankle pain got you down? As you age, your chances of lower leg pain, specifically in the knee, foot, and ankle increase drastically. Approximately 24 percent of adults have ailments in joints from the knees down. Characteristics such as tenderness decreased ability to move, walk, or bear weight, and stiffness or swelling in the joint could mean you are at risk of osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, or other similar diseases.

If knee, foot or ankle pain arises without injury, it is likely due to pressure caused by an increase in body weight or change in lifestyle. Since the joints below the knee are relatively small, drastic changes in body weight or lifestyle can easily strain or shift the joints such as the knee, foot, or ankle easily.

Chiropractic care can be a great way to manage and relieve swelling and discomfort of the lower leg caused by knee, foot, and ankle pain. Routine chiropractic care provides patients with knee, foot, and ankle pain a safe, non-invasive, non-addictive alternative to prescription medications or over-the-counter pain medications (OTCs), which are commonly prescribed to patients to help them manage their pain and swelling.

Chiropractors deliver a gentle, non-invasive, non-addictive therapy, known as a chiropractic adjustment. Chiropractic adjustments reduce joint restrictions or misalignments in the spine and other joints in the body in an effort to reduce inflammation and improve the function of both the affected joint and nervous system. By increasing joint mobility and improving your nervous system function and spinal health, your body has the ability to better manage symptoms caused by knee, foot, and ankle pain.
