Many chiropractic offices will do something called “Condition of the Month.” This means they choose a condition and will educate their patients throughout the month on how chiropractic can help that condition. It’s a great idea. I don’t happen to do that but we do end up with conditions of the month here because many of my patients seem to show up with the same condition in a given period. Currently, the condition this month is knee problems. So, I wanted to take a moment and talk about how chiropractic care can help.
The knee joint is actually four bones. You’ve got your thigh bone which is called your femur coming down. You’ve got two shin bones coming up, that’s your fibula and your tibia, and then you have your kneecap, which is your patella. Any one of those can become misaligned. A misaligned bone is not going to be moving properly. Any joint that isn’t moving properly is going to get wear and tear and wear and tear makes inflammation and eventually scar tissue. If you hear someone say, “Oh, my knee is just bone on bone”, I guarantee you there were years beforehand of it not moving properly.
So, if you’ve got a knee problem get yourself to a chiropractor and get some help.
