MEDICINE’S TRY AT KNEE DISTRACTION WITH A DEVICE

Medical care for most complaints including knee pain is usually medication and surgery. Lately, it has devised a joint-specific distraction device that was not a hit with patients due to its not allowing flexion throughout the treatment phase of 6 weeks. The researchers worked on its design a bit, but it’s still being checked to see how patients accept it. (1) Well, chiropractors have a better, more tolerable way to treat the knee with distraction! It is soothing. It feels good. It doesn’t have be a visible device worn everywhere to be valuable! It doesn’t involve medications! So good.

Carrolltown CHIROPRACTIC CARE FOR KNEE PAIN RELIEF WITH THE HANDS

Knee pain treated with chiropractic flexion distraction principles provides knee pain sufferers hope. A new study just published reports on 25 patients with knee pain (many with osteoarthritis, some acute, some chronic, even some post-knee replacement with continued knee pain) treated with chiropractic flexion distraction. Overall knee pain patients stated pain drops from 7.7 to 1.8  (1 [no pain] – 10 [worst pain]) in a mean of 5.3 treatments over 3 weeks. More precisely, acute knee pain patients reported pain drops from 8.1 to 1.1 in 4.8 treatments in 2.4 weeks. And chronic knee pain patients reported pain drops from 7.5 to 2.2 in 5.4 treatments in 3.3 weeks.
