Knee Pain & Sprains

A knee sprain is an injury of the ligaments that connect the bones of the upper and lower leg – often a result of either hip problems, ankle mobility or foot stability.

Examples of Injuries that could cause knee pain

Let’s start with what could be causing your knee pain. Sometimes the pain is acute and obvious, while other times there is a numb, overall discomfort that’s hard to pin down.

• ACL Tear/Injury (a tear of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) — one of four ligaments that connect your shinbone to your thighbone)

• Knee Fracture (the kneecap (patella), can be broken during falls or auto accidents)

• Torn meniscus (the tough, rubbery cartilage that acts as a shock absorber between your shinbone and thighbone)

• Knee bursitis (inflammation in the bursae, the small sacs of fluid that cushion the outside of your knee)

• Patellar tendinitis (irritation and inflammation of one or more tendons)

Treating Knee Pain

The initial steps to helping your knee pain, as with any injury, is with a proper diagnosis.

Your doctor may us a CT scan, X-rays, Ultrasound, or a hands-on approach/Q&A to determine what is wrong.

For more serious situations, injections, surgeries, and medications may be necessary. At Agape Health, we believe in natural healthcare, and we do anything we can to take care of you without drugs or invasive procedures.

Can a chiropractor really help?

Chiropractors treat over 27 million Americans annually, but it's not always for neck or back pain. In fact, visiting a chiropractor could help relieve some of the knee pain you're experiencing, too.

Knee sprains especially respond best to chiropractic treatment over costly, painful, invasive procedures.
