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.
