Knee Pain
There are many possible
reasons for knee pain. One common cause is misalignment in the
feet arches and ankles which create an imbalance, causing stress
and pain in the knee joints. Another is an imbalance of
the pelvic region, including hips and sacrum, which cause the
body to protect itself by shifting the majority of your weight
to the other side. The structural imbalance, caused by
either of these reasons, results in spinal nerve stress and
muscle spasms on one side of the body and will pull one leg up
short. There are three easy tests you can do to see if you
have skeletal misalignments.
The first test is to look at the
bottoms of your shoes. Does one heel wear down faster than
the other? The second test is to see if the hem of one
pant leg drags the ground and frays while the other side is
fine. The third test is to look in the mirror while
wearing a belt. Does the belt look slightly cock-eyed rather
than straight across? If you answered yes to any of these,
that is an indication of a correctable imbalance.
Chiropractors are well trained
at searching for the cause of knee pain. Through gentle
realigning of the spinal bones, chiropractic can remove the
burden on your knees and relieve the pain. |
