We see many patients that complain about knee pain. Diagnosing your condition can be complicated, however, because there are many different causes. Chronic health conditions, overuse, and acute injuries can all play a role—our knee specialists in North Liberty will help you find the pain relief you deserve.
Arthritis is one of the most common causes of knee pain. Arthritis causes pain or stiffness in your joints. Any joint can be affected by arthritis, including your knees. Arthritis tends to get worse with age, so in older patients this is one of the most common issues we see.
Ligament and tendon injuries are another common cause of knee pain, in particular if you lead a very athletic or active lifestyle. Ligaments like your ACL, MCL, and PCL can all tear or become sprained and cause pain. If these injuries are serious, you should visit a specialist, but chiropractic care is a great way to manage your symptoms and ease your recovery.
Kneecap issues are another source for knee pain, particularly if your kneecap becomes dislocated or the cartilage around the joints begin to break down.
When you visit us, we’ll identify the root symptoms of your knee pain and develop a targeted treatment to relieve your pain.
