The fastest way to relieve knee pain is to rest it. Many of our patients also say they feel their knee pain has improved after just one session so if you haven’t yet tried chiropractic care, why not get in touch?
We advise individuals to rest, use ice packs and take painkillers. You should also try to gently stretch the knee but only do as much as you can.
This will depend on the cause of your pain. If your pain is worse when moving, this could be muscle pain. If your knee pain is worse when resting, this could be joint pain. If your knee pain is getting worse, or isn’t improving, our team can advise on the best course of action.
