Foot and Knee Pain Treatment in Nashville, TN.
Chiropractic Treatment for Knee and Foot Pain
No matter how strong the rest of your body may be, an ailing knee or painful foot can make you feel helpless. These structures must bear considerable weight, whether you’re simply standing still, walking, running, or jumping as part of your routine. Luckily, you can find relief from knee or foot pain without surgery. Our team at Donelson Chiropractic Clinic in Nashville offers natural, non-invasive treatments to help you manage that persistent pain.
Understanding Knee Pain
The knee is primarily a hinge joint, with strong connective tissues allowing back-and-forth movement but only limited side-to-side motion. A sports injury or other accident that applies lateral stress to the knee can rupture ligaments or tear muscles. However, knee pain more commonly results from chronic issues such as arthritis, bursitis, tendinitis, repetitive motion injuries, and abnormal tissue strain due to. an asymmetrical stance or gait (which often stems from spinal misalignment). The more you weigh, the greater thential deterioration your knee joints may face.
Foot Pain and Its Causes
The foot contains many bones and joints, along with a complex network of soft tissues that help it adapt to shifts in weight as you move. Obesity, improper footwear, alignment issues, and overuse can lead to chronic strain conditions like plantar fasciitis. The same spinal misalignment that can stress the knees can also put strain on the feet by disrupting your kinetic chain. Additionally, imbalances in your feet can affect the alignment of your knees, hips, and lower back.
Chiropractic Care Can Restore Lower-Body Balance
Chiropractic adjustments can correct many imbalances that cause chronic knee and/or foot pain. Amedi at Donelson Chiropractic Clinic will first determine whether the pain originates in the knee or foot. If so, you might benefit from extremity adjustments to those specific areas. Abnormal foot arches could require custom orthotics to improve weight distribution on the feet. If the pain actually results from a spinal imbalance, you may need chiropractic adjustments to your lower back. We suggest exercises and other treatments to strengthen your postural support and keep your joints flexible.
