Treating Knee Pain Syndrome (Runner's Knee) with Chiropractic Care

It may be known as "runner's" knee, but you don't have to be a runner to develop patellofemoral pain syndrome. This common knee condition affects more than 22% of Americans every year, according to a systematic review and meta-analysis published in PLOS One in 2018. Luckily, chiropractic care can help you manage your pain.

What Is Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome?

Patellofemoral pain syndrome affects the front of the knee, including the area in and around the kneecap. The condition may occur due to:

A Misaligned Kneecap
Overuse Injury
Gait Problems
Activities That Involve Frequent Jumping, Running, or Squatting
Tight Achilles Tendon or Hamstring
Weakness in the Thigh Muscles
Excessive Pronation (Rolling the Feet Inward When Walking)
According to the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons, you may be more like to develop patellofemoral pain syndrome due to abnormal tracking (movement) of the kneecap or leg alignment issues.

Any type of activity that bends or stresses the knee, like jumping, squatting, running, climbing, or even walking up a flight of stairs can trigger or worsen your knee pain and cause grinding or popping sounds. Pain can also be a problem when sitting due to the stress on the knee. In some cases, the knee can become stiff, weak, or unstable.

Easing Your Pain with Chiropractic Treatment

Chiropractors focus on treating your pain and preventing it from returning. During your visit, you'll receive a thorough examination that will help your chiropractor diagnose the reason for your knee pain. As part of the diagnosis process, you may receive an X-ray or other tests.

Sometimes knee pain has unexpected causes. For example, a misalignment in the vertebrae in your lower spine could trigger an imbalance in your thigh muscles. If your muscles aren't balanced properly, your kneecap may become misaligned. Realigning the vertebrae with spinal manipulation not only relieves pain but may also reverse the imbalance and help improve muscle strength.

Spinal manipulation, one of many helpful treatments your chiropractor offers, restores the alignment of your vertebrae. Adjusting misaligned vertebrae offers many benefits, including natural pain relief, inflammation reduction, improved blood flow, and enhanced flexibility. The treatment only takes seconds and involves moving the vertebrae back into place with quick thrusts of the hand or an activator.

In a research study published in BMC Musculoskeletal Disorders in 2008, researchers reported that patients with patellofemoral pain syndrome had greater improvements in pain and function after spinal manual therapy (spinal manipulation) over those who only performed exercises.

Other chiropractic treatments that may be part of your patellofemoral pain syndrome treatment plan include:

Joint Alignment. This treatment may be used to gently realign your knee joint and reduce stiffness.
Soft Tissue Therapy. Massage and other soft tissue therapies relieve stiffness and soreness, help improve flexibility, and improve muscle imbalances.
Ultrasound Therapy. Soundwaves produced during ultrasound therapy heat the deep tissues in and around your knee. The therapy improves pain and spurs healing.
Orthotics. Properly supported feet are essential for good knee and leg alignment. If you have excessive pronation or another issue that affects the feet, your chiropractor may recommend orthotics. These custom-designed shoe inserts keep your feet aligned correctly when you wear shoes, in addition to improving support and comfort.
Exercises. Your chiropractor may also recommend exercises to strengthen the muscles that support your kneecap.

Chiropractic Care Could Ease Your Neuropathy Symptoms

Finding a treatment that keeps your pain under control can be difficult when you have neuropathy. Whether you're experiencing pain, burning, tingling, or numbness, your chiropractor can help relieve your neuropathy symptoms.

What Is Neuropathy?

Neuropathy happens when one or more nerves are damaged due to illnesses, injuries, toxins, or infections. The damage affects the normal transmission of nerve signals between the body and the brain. Neuropathy types include:

Peripheral Neuropathy. Peripheral neuropathy, one of the most common forms of neuropathy, affects nerves outside the spinal cord and brain. An estimated 20 million Americans have the disorder, although the actual number may be higher, according to the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke. Peripheral neuropathy symptoms are often felt in hands, feet, arms, or legs. Diabetic neuropathy, a type of neuropathy caused by high blood sugar, is a common type of peripheral neuropathy.
Focal Neuropathy. Focal neuropathy affects just one nerve and may happen if swollen tissues, a bone spur, or a misaligned vertebra presses on a nerve. Carpal tunnel syndrome is a common type of focal neuropathy.
Autonomic Neuropathy. This form of neuropathy affects important bodily functions, like blood pressure, heart rate, bowel movements, and urination. It can be caused by injuries, diabetes, or other diseases, like multiple sclerosis or Parkinson's Disease.
Cranial Neuropathy. Cranial neuropathy occurs when nerves in the brain are damaged. Bell's palsy, a condition that causes weakness or paralysis of facial muscles is a type of cranial neuropathy.
Neuropathy Symptoms

Symptoms vary depending on the type of neuropathy but may include:

Pain, Which Can Be Severe
Tingling
Numbness
Burning
Weakness
Muscle Cramps or Twitching
Poor Coordination
Loss of Sensation
Loss of Bladder or Bowel Control
How Your Chiropractor Can Help

The treatments chiropractors provide relieve pressure on the nerves by keeping your spine and joints properly aligned and reducing tension on soft tissues. If you're experiencing tingling, pain, burning, and weakness in your arm, hand, foot, or leg, a misaligned vertebra, tight muscles or tendons, or a bulging disc could be to blame.

Small bones called vertebrae give structure to your spine, In addition to protecting your spinal cord, the vertebrae make it possible to move, bend, and twist easily. Your vertebrae can become misaligned due to a fall or poor posture. Although your posture may be perfectly fine when you're standing, spending hours hunched over your laptop or a video controller could cause misalignments, also known as subluxations.

A misaligned vertebrae could press on a nerve, triggering neuropathy symptoms. As a result of the subluxation, muscles and tendons can tighten in response and exert pressure on your nerves. A bulging disc in your spine could also be to blame for your neuropathy symptoms.

Your chiropractor offers treatments that relieve pressure on nerves to ease your symptoms. Spinal manipulation treatment restores vertebrae to their normal positions while easing pain, improving circulation and blood flow, and triggering the release of hormones that act as natural painkillers. Realigning spine allows tight muscles and tissues to relax and withdraw from your nerves.

If a bulging disc is the source of your neuropathy symptoms, your chiropractor may recommend flexion-distraction treatment. During the therapy, you'll lie on a segmented table that moves as your chiropractor adjusts your spine. The therapy decompresses your spine, which reduces pressure on spinal discs and nerves. It can also relieve muscle spasms and improve your range of motion.

Massage therapy offers a simple way to loosen tight tissues while reducing pain and improving blood flow. Soft tissue mobilization can help reduce the symptoms of Bell's Palsy. During treatments, your chiropractor gently manipulates the face to improve movement and mobility. In a case study published in the Journal of Chiropractic Medicine in 2013, chiropractic manipulation and low-level laser therapy improved facial movement by 70 - 80% in a 40-year-old patient. After the second treatment, the patient regained complete control of facial movement.

Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) therapy, another helpful treatment for neuropathy, involves preventing pain by sending a gentle electrical current through the skin. The current blocks nerve signals from reaching the brain.

Lower Back
Struggling With Lower Back Pain? Chiropractic Care Can Help
Illustration showing lower back pain

When you consider that 80 percent of Americans have had (or will have) trouble with back pain, you can understand why this painful symptom accounts for some 264 million lost workdays each year. When you suffer from agonizing pain toward the base of your spine, you can't do physical labor or even manage many sedentary office tasks, much less enjoy a comfortable productive home life. The good news is that you don't have to let lower back pain keep you down, nor do you need surgery or painkiller to stop it. Natural treatment can help you conquer your lower back pain.

Why Do People Suffer From Lower Back Pain?
Lower back pain is practically inevitable at some point or another. The lower back supports the entire upper half of the body, which represents a considerable weight. An acute injury can tear back muscles, dislodge vertebrae, or herniated discs in the lower back. Constant or repetitive strain from a musculoskeletal imbalance or poor posture can lead to chronic lower back strain.

Chronic lower back pain often stems from natural changes in your physique. For instance, as you get older, your spinal discs can start to flatten and bulge, straining vertebral joints, and pinching major nerve roots. (In the lower spine, pinched sciatic nerve tissue can cause leg pain as well as lower back pain.) Spinal arthritis is another cause of age-related lower back pain.

Chiropractic Adjustments for Lower Back Pain: Procedures and Benefits
A skilled chiropractor can often save lower back pain sufferers from surgery or other extreme measures. Your doctor can identify any spinal alignment issues that might be causing or worsening your symptoms. Gentle, precise applications of force, either manually or through the use of instruments, can shift spinal components back into their proper position, releasing compressed nerves and taking the unnecessary strain off of muscles.

Chiropractors sometimes prescribe other forms of non-invasive treatment to enhance the effectiveness of these lower back adjustments. For example, you may receive a comprehensive treatment plan that includes some combination of chiropractic adjustments, physical therapy, massage, and lifestyle recommendations to help you strengthen your lower back, improve your flexibility, and minimize the risk of future back problems.
