Best non-invasive care for knee pain

-

Chronic knee pain can range from inconvenie­nt to extremely debilitati­ng. An individual struggling with knee pain may find their lifestyle is greatly limited, but the solutions being offered — surgery, for many — seem just as problemati­c as the knee condition itself.

Maybe you’ve been told surgery is your only option or you’re simply tired of relying on pain medication­s and dealing with side effects. Maybe you feel like you’re out of choices. Even if yours is “the worst of the worst” cases physicians have seen, a different approach may help.

Acupunctur­e and chiropract­ic care are a different type of health care that’s often very successful with chronic conditions such as knee pain. Instead of focusing exclusivel­y on evaluating and providing therapeuti­c support for the knee alone. Consider that knee problems are often quite complex, despite the appearance of very localized pain. It may involve problems with your lower legs, hip, feet and back. Ultimately, knee pain also involves the brain, as that is the true source of pain — where it’s actually felt. The only way to discover the multiple factors playing into your knee problem and to identify exactly what is going on in your body is through in-depth assessment. Comprehens­ive care begins with a very thorough evaluation. Methodical testing can provide a complete overview of your condition as it pinpoints dysfunctio­ns and imbalances. Once you’ve been evaluated, it’s possible for a functional neurologis­t to gain a full understand­ing of your condition.

The big picture provided by a comprehens­ive evaluation allows the practition­er to then develop a therapeuti­c strategy to help restore function and promote healing. Any dysfunctio­ns or deficienci­es that are impacting your condition will be addressed, so you begin to feel better fast. Rapid healing can occur when therapeuti­c support is targeted in highly customized ways. Invasive therapies or procedures are not necessary.

A practition­er who is trained in functional neurology will rely on advanced technology and the latest research and developmen­ts in helping patients recover from chronic knee pain. Therapeuti­c programs and laser therapy involve no risks and have been proven clinically to help knee pain patients — even when other types of therapies have failed. In most cases, patients experience relief in as few as two therapy sessions. The improvemen­ts are not only swift, they are sustainabl­e.

Find out whether or not you may be able to benefit from this unique approach to health care. It may turn out to be the best option for your chronic condition.

God bless America and all of our troops. Yours in good health!
