Effective Knee Arthritis Treatment in Canary Wharf
Introduction
Welcome to myChiro Clinic in Canary Wharf. We specialise in providing outstanding care for individuals suffering from knee arthritis. Our dedicated team of chiropractors, physiotherapists, and sports massage therapists offer personalised treatment solutions to manage and alleviate arthritis symptoms.
Understanding Knee Arthritis
Knee arthritis is a common condition causing pain, stiffness, and swelling in the knee joint. It can result from wear and tear (osteoarthritis), autoimmune conditions (rheumatoid arthritis), or injury. Our experienced team will understand your specific symptoms and tailor a treatment plan to best suit your needs.
Our Treatment Techniques
- Targeted Exercises: We recommend specific exercises to improve joint mobility and strength, both during appointments and as part of a home exercise programme.
- Chiropractic Care: Gentle adjustments may be used to realign the knee joint and reduce pain. Techniques such as spinal adjustments can improve overall body alignment, indirectly benefiting knee function.
- Dry Needling (Medical Acupuncture): This technique helps release muscle tension and alleviate pain.
- Collaborative Approach: Our team includes chiropractors, massage therapists, and physiotherapists, working together to provide comprehensive care. Each professional brings their expertise to create a holistic treatment plan.
Self-Care Options
For managing knee arthritis at home, methods such as over-the-counter pain relief (e.g., ibuprofen), heat/cold therapy, and gentle stretching exercises can be beneficial. Engaging in low-impact activities like swimming or cycling can also help maintain joint function without causing additional strain. However, professional guidance is essential for persistent or severe symptoms.
Recognise Serious Symptoms
If you experience significant swelling, severe pain, or difficulty moving your knee, seek immediate medical attention. These symptoms may indicate an underlying issue that requires specialised care.
Why Choose Our Chiropractic Care
Chiropractic care offers a non-invasive, holistic approach to managing knee arthritis. By focusing on joint alignment and reducing inflammation, chiropractic treatments can provide long-lasting relief. Our approach may also include nutritional advice, lifestyle modifications, and ergonomic recommendations to support your overall well-being. For example, an anti-inflammatory diet rich in omega-3 fatty acids can complement chiropractic care and reduce arthritis symptoms.
