Knee, Hip and Ankle Pain

What Are The Causes of Knee, Hip and Ankle Pain?

A variety of factors can cause knee, hip and ankle pain, which is a common problem. Below are some of the most common causes of knee pain:

Injuries. Chiropractors note injuries such as sprains, strains, and tears can cause knee pain. They can occur due to accidents, sports, or physical activity. These injuries can range in severity and in some cases, may require surgery to repair the damage.
Arthritis. It is a common condition that causes inflammation and damage to the joint. Osteoarthritis, which is a degenerative condition, is the most common type of arthritis. Age, genetics, or wear and tear on the joint over time can cause it.
Bursitis. This condition occurs when small fluid-filled sacs that cushion the joints become inflamed. This can cause pain and swelling in the knee.
Tendonitis. It is a condition that occurs when the tendons that connect the muscles to the bones become inflamed. From a chiropractic point of view, knee pain can cause pain and stiffness in the knee.
Patellar tracking disorder. This condition occurs when the kneecap (patella) does not move correctly.

What Are The Symptoms of Knee, Hip and Ankle Pain?

1. Not being able to maintain your normal active lifestyle. If you find yourself not able to do the activities you normally enjoy, such as tennis, golf, cycling, or walking, you should see a physician.

2. Pain that gets worse at night and interferes with sleep. Inflammation, which is your body’s reaction to pain, tends to intensify at night. This inflammation can trigger higher levels of pain.

3. Catching, popping, or locking. This is a sign that the cartilage in the joint has torn or that bits of cartilage has broken off in the joint space. The cartilage may wear away completely if it is left untreated.

4. Difficulty doing simple tasks. Some patients will experience difficulty putting on shoes and socks or doing other simple activities, such as bending down.

5. Swelling. This could also be a sign that the cartilage in the joint is breaking down. The cartilage may wear out completely if it is left untreated.

How Can Chiropractic Help?

Yes, chiropractors can help with knee pain. Some cases of knee pain require medical intervention. But there are also non-invasive treatment options available, including chiropractic care.

Chiropractors use a variety of techniques to help manage pain and improve joint function:

shockwave therapy
manual adjustments
therapeutic exercises
soft tissue therapies

Consult your Chiropractor to see which combination of the above will work best for you and your presented condition

I had suffer lower back slip disc at my L4 bone for 13 years. Way back, i had went to hospital for MRI scan, refer to bone specialist and even tried TCM but non of them work well. Time and money spend in the past but the aching/pain just cannot resolve hence at one point of time i had already given up the hope for my slip disc and have the mind set to just live with the pain forever. Recently, happen to saw Chiropractic Ads in my facebook so i decided to give it a try. Did some research online and found LiveWell Sengkang so decided to give it a last tried. Dr Siew Wei was my chiropractor. After 2 session with Dr Siew Wei, realize my back was not as ache as before and surprisingly my body movement had improved as previously due to the aching/pain my body movement when straightening my back is like having this one to two sec pain/aching lag time whenever i bend down and up to do thing. Somehow, Chiropractic improve my body movement and daily lifestyle so I decided to sign up for a 20 session with Dr Siew Wei to continue maintaining my back ache. Overall, i feel the time and money spend is really worth here as I can really see the result here after 2 session with Dr Siew Wei.

I had an ankle surgery 6 months ago and with a scoliosis, it definitely affected my walking during rehabilitation. And I also suffered from severe back pain. with proper exercises, stretching and Chiropractic treatment with Dr. Jessie. I definitely feel a huge improvement on my walking and there’s lesser back pain. Dr. Jessie is a very well versed Chiropractor, she is also very friendly and tends to every patient with different specific treatment. I had chiro treatment done few years back and this is definitely a better clinic! Also I would like to thank the counter staff for always being flexible with my timing.

Made an appt after feeling stiff necks and shoulders. Attended to by Dr Kenney. Recommended to do an x-ray and realised I have cervical neck. Now midway to the treatment and feeling much better. Even the chest tightness I used to have, is also better now (yes, chest tightness or pain can be caused by chiropractic issues). Definitely recommend - most of time, the appt are punctual and treatments are fast.

Dr Kenney is very professional and patient. He will check with you any pain and adjust treatment accordingly. There is no pain for doing chiropractic unlike surgery. Though it will take some times to improve body condition progressively.
