Knee Pain

Relief From Knee Pain in Bakersfield

Knees are one of the largest and most important joints in the body. They support the lifting and lowering of the body, help keep the body upright, absorb shock to the body from daily activities, provide stability, and much more. When the knee is injured or in pain, it can affect most of the body’s movements, including walking, bending, and lifting. It is important to seek medical care at the first sign of knee pain. If you live in Bakersfield, CA, or the surrounding area, our chiropractor can help eliminate your knee pain and facilitate the healing of damaged knee tissues.

Symptoms of Knee Pain

Knee pain can manifest in several ways, including:

  • Swelling and bruising
  • Stiffness and difficulty moving
  • Popping noises
  • Weakness

Knee Pain Risk Factors and Prevention

Avoiding knee pain begins by understanding the most common risk factors of knee pain. Common causes of knee pain include:

Being Overweight

Your knees support the weight of your entire body. The more weight they have to support, the greater the stress on the knee joints. By maintaining a healthy weight, you decrease the likelihood of knee pain, injury, and osteoarthritis in the knees.

Tense Muscles

Tense and inflexible muscle cannot support a full range of motion, leaving you vulnerable to injury. By making balance, stability, and flexibility exercises part of your daily routine, you improve your range of motion and prevent knee pain.  Many knee pain sufferers also find relief from chiropractic massage therapy. Through precise massage, our chiropractor eases tension in problem areas and increases the patient’s flexibility.

Overworking the Joints

Our bodies – including our joints – need rest. If you exercise regularly, try trading some of your high impact activities for low impact ones so your knees have time to relax. Injuries in other parts of your body, such as your back, hips, or ankles, can lead you to overcompensate with your knees. Improper posture can do the same. If you have sustained any form of injury or have trouble with your posture, our chiropractor can help. Chiropractic care is designed to realign the spine, improve posture, and decrease overcompensation.

Previous Knee Injury

If you have suffered a previous knee injury and it did not heal properly with the aid of a chiropractor, your likelihood of experiencing another knee injury increases. Take extra precautions to avoid a new injury and the knee pain associated with it. Consulting our chiropractor can help ensure you take the right steps.
