Chiropractic Adjustments Help Leg Pain Sufferers Find Relief In Knox County

By Julio Riess


There are numerous forms of leg pain from a number of underlying causes. The pain can be peripheral neuropathy, a condition often secondary to diabetes or rheumatoid arthritis. Other common sources of leg pain are gout, varicose veins, bursitis and deep vein thrombosis to name a few. Often the pain is a result of the spine being out of alignment. This can be resolved by a Knox County chiropractor with some chiropractic spinal adjustments.

After your chiropractor has given you a complete physical exam and evaluation, he will usually begin the manual spinal adjustments. This will often bring immediate relief. If this is the only cause, then periodic adjustments may be recommended. If the problem persists, there are other modalities that are complimentary to chiropractic care.

In most cases physical therapy is recommended to compliment your chiropractic care. Both physical therapy and chiropractic have the same objective, which is to relieve pain without intervention or drugs. The relief from spinal adjustments can be more immediate. Physical therapy is a gradual process which involves patient participation. Based on the type and location of the pain, the therapist will develop a series of exercises. The patient will learn exercises and techniques that they can continue after therapy sessions are finished.

Massage is usually a welcome adjunct to care. Many chiropractic clinics believe in the complimentary modalities so much that a massage therapist and a physical therapist are part of the clinic staff. Your doctor will recommend the type of massage that is suited to your health needs. It will increase your blood circulation and relax the muscles and other soft tissue. Massage also reduces tension, which is helpful to relieving pain.

Acupuncture originated in Japan but is considered a Chinese modality. Asians have long appreciated the advantages of acupuncture to care for all manners of illness. Western medicine now accepts that acupuncture can reduce pain. It releases endorphins, and the increased endorphins reduce anxiety, which can only affect the patient positively.

Your care may involve some or all of these modalities. Each of them works to safely and naturally restore balance and reduce pain. All this can often be achieved without surgery or the use of addictive pain killers.
