The knee is the largest joint in the body, made up of bones, cartilage, ligaments, and tendons which are the attachment point of muscles above and below the knee. Knee pain is very common and may occur for many different reasons. This can seriously affect your ability to get around on a daily basis and cause further strain when you walk on it. Some people are more prone to problems than others, and intense pain or swelling can occur shortly after the injury. Thankfully, many knee injuries and pain can be treated with simple measures, which include chiropractic treatment to readjust the problem and help to correct it.
