Knee pain is common and can be very frustrating. Knee pain makes it difficult for you to go about your daily activities and can become worse if left untreated. If you are suffering from knee pain in or around the Bradenton area, contact Lakewood Ranch Chiropractic for knee pain relief. Dr. Nichols and our team have compiled a few questions that we run into regarding knee pain.
What causes knee pain?
Knee pain is often caused by sprains, tears, and strains in the knee. They could be due to sports injuries, signs of tendonitis, arthritis, obesity, or other conditions that affect the knees.
How can I find immediate relief for knee pain?
Non-severe knee pain usually goes away in most cases by using a few at-home treatments. At-home options often take the form of rest, ice, heat, compression, and elevation until the knee improves. If your knee pain hasn’t been reduced in a few days, it is time to contact a chiropractor for proper diagnosis and treatment.
Will my knee pain go away on its own?
The pain may vary in intensity to provide some relief, depending on the cause of the pain. If your knee pain is caused by a non-serious injury, it may improve with time. Mild to moderate pain can heal on its own, but you run the risk of the condition becoming chronic if left untreated.
What can I do for knee pain relief?
Knee pain is treatable at home if it isn’t severe and the pain should go away in a few days. Stay away from strenuous physical activities and use physical exercises to strengthen your knees.
