Millions of Americans have had some sort of surgical work performed on
their ankles,
hips, or knees. Countless more live with chronic pain or problems that have
never been addressed by a medical professional. Most people put off trying
to cure or alleviate their hip, ankle, or knee pain because they understandably
want to shy away from surgery, which carries its inherent risks. Many
more do not want to start taking prescription medications that could prove
addictive or problematic.
What Can Chiropractic Care Do For Me?
Chiropractic care offers a safe, non-invasive alternative to surgery and medicine when it
comes to pain in the soft and hard tissues of the ankles, hips, and knees.
Some patients may even become noticeably more mobile or flexible following
a chiropractic session. If the hip and leg injuries begin to become painful
again after several weeks or longer, then it only takes another visit
to the chiropractor to correct, in most cases. Keeping a routine with
your chiropractor can help ensure that you lessen your ankle, knee, or
hip pain without giving it a chance to ever get worse again.
Can a Chiropractor Help Ankle Pain?
An experienced chiropractor near you may be able to help you recover from
ankle injuries, reducing your pain and speeding up your time to recover.
It may also improve your flexibility and range of motion, which is important
when it comes to recovery and getting back to your normal life.
Some chiropractic treatments for injuries to the ankle include adjustments
to the bones, ligaments, and tendons, and strengthening exercises.
Pain That Can Be Addressed by Chiropractic Care
Consider the variety of hip, ankle, and knee problems or pain that can
be addressed by chiropractic care:
-
Ankle injuries: Spraining your ankle can be quite debilitating despite there not being
an actual bone break. You may need to stay off that foot or in bed for
days in order for it to heal. Afterward, the sprain can be flared up again
by a misstep. Chiropractic care can help accelerate the healing of a sprained
ankle, as well as reduce the pain of shin splints, heel spurs, and other
podiatric problems.
-
Hip injuries: Your hips move more than you might think, but you will realize it if you
get a hip injury. Even when sitting down, angling your back often relies
at least partly on your hips. When a dysfunction is present in your hips,
the slightest of motions can send a spike of pain throughout your abdomen
and legs. A number of hip conditions, from joint pain to inflammation,
can be treated with the right chiropractic care.
-
Knee injuries: Your knee is one of the most important and complex joints in your body.
Not only is it complicated with muscles, tendons, ligaments, and cartilage,
but it also needs to take the brunt of your weight whenever you step.
Its burden is exaggerated dramatically whenever you run or jump. To prevent
knee pain from degenerating into a disabling condition, you should consider
chiropractic care sooner than later.
