Understanding Knee Osteoarthritis—and How Laser Therapy Can Help

Laser Therapy at City Chiropractic
We have been using Laser therapy for the last 5 years and we have been increasing our use with more conditions as the research begins to show even more benefits. Knee pain, from arthritis is one of those conditions.

Knee osteoarthritis (OA) is one of the most common causes of joint pain, especially as we age or after years of wear and tear. It can make everyday activities—like walking, climbing stairs, or getting out of a chair—feel like a challenge.

Laser has been shown to help with the alleviation of pain, increased blood flow, muscle relaxation, and relief from joint stiffness. IN Fact, the "American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons" recommendation is that “FDA-approved
laser treatment may be used to improve pain and function in patients with knee osteoarthritis.

A recent retrospective study on the efficacy of LightForce therapy lasers, which we use at City chiropractic, demonstrated that 93% of knee OA patients treated with laser had a clinically significant reduction in pain.

We have found that adding laser to your care plan can help with many different conditions, but you may not have known that we can help with your knee pain. If you would like to try laser therapy for your knee OA pain, call Steph today and let her know. 314-932-1228.

Protect Your Feet, Protect Your Body

Your feet are the foundation for your whole body. Even small aches can affect how you walk, how your knees move, and how your hips and back feel. Many people ignore foot pain, thinking it will go away on its own. But over time, what starts as a minor ache can become a bigger problem. The good news? A simple evaluation with our clinic can help identify the cause early, prevent long-term issues, and keep you moving comfortably.

Tips to Keep Your Feet Happy

1. Start Slowly and Increase Activity Gradually
Foot pain often comes from overuse. Jumping into activity too quickly—whether it’s running, sports, or long walks—can strain muscles, ligaments, and joints in your feet. By increasing activity gradually, you give your feet a chance to adapt and strengthen. This approach helps prevent injuries before they start and keeps you active without setbacks.

2. Pay Attention to Morning Stiffness or Pain
Do your feet hurt or feel tight when you take your first steps in the morning? Morning stiffness or pain can be an early sign of conditions like plantar fasciitis or tendon irritation. While occasional soreness is normal, persistent morning pain is a signal to take action. Noticing these early warning signs allows our clinic to provide guidance before the pain affects other areas of your body.

3. Choose Supportive Footwear
The shoes you wear every day make a big difference in foot health. Old, worn-out shoes or shoes that lack support can contribute to pain and poor alignment. Supportive footwear helps reduce strain on your feet, improves posture, and can prevent pain from traveling up to your knees, hips, and back.

Why Early Care Matters

Foot pain is common, but persistent discomfort should never be ignored. Early evaluation can lead to faster relief and prevent small issues from disrupting your daily life. Our clinic can assess your movement patterns, recommend safe exercises, and provide treatments like adjustments, stretches, or supportive devices to get you back on your feet.

Addressing foot pain early not only relieves discomfort but also helps protect your knees, hips, and back. Don’t wait until it affects more than your feet—listen to your body and reach out to us to stay active and strong.
