Millions of Americans have had some sort of surgical work performed on
their ankles, hip, 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.
Thankfully,
chiropractic care offers a safe, non-invasive alternative to surgery and medicine. Using
the right techniques, the soft and hard tissues of the hips, ankles, and
knees can find relief from pain. 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 knee, hip, or ankle pain without giving it a chance to ever
get worse again.
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.
