Johnson Chiropractics October 2017 Healthy Newsletter
Richmond knee pain is a pain that Johnson Chiropractic sees a lot. Pain medications and surgical options are plentiful while a new non-surgical chiropractic approach is supplying quite promising results. Principles of Cox® Technic flexion distraction and decompression - a technique used in clinic daily for Richmond back pain and neck pain relief - were adapted for application with knee pain. They demonstrated success in lessening knee pain. Overall, the mean pain scores for knee pain patients fell from 7.7 to 1.8 on a 10 point scale 1 least pain, 10 most pain in a mean of 5.3 visits over 3 weeks. More specifically, acute knee pain patients’ pain scores dropped even more from a mean of 8.1 to 1.1 in 4.8 treatments in 2.4 weeks. Chronic knee pain patients’ scores dropped from 7.5 to 2.2 in 5.4 treatments in 3.3 weeks. No one in the study reported any adverse side-effects. (1) It's gentle, relieving, and comfortable.
