Knee pain – Osteoarthritis

The knee is the largest joint of the body and subject to colossal forces.  Problems in the low back and hip or foot and ankle can cause massive lever forces on the knee leading to accelerated wear and tear and increased risk of injury.  In 2015 over 107,000 knee operations were performed in the UK.   As chiropractors we mobilise joints, stretch tight muscles, strengthen weak muscles and improve alignment in order to maximise function and reduce injury risk.  If a knee has already become arthritic, we can use a variety of techniques to help ease pain and improve mobility.
