Learn How Chiropractic Adjustments Help Leg Pain Sufferers Find Relief In Knox County

By Julio Riess


Leg pain comes in many ways. It may be due to peripheral neuropathy, varicose veins, bursitis, gout, deep vein thrombosis and many other causes. Leg pain may be a result of a misaligned spine. Once the spine is in balance, the pain is gone. You can find a Knox County chiropractor to help with your leg regardless of the cause.

After meeting with you and reviewing your medical history, the chiropractor will do a physical exam and evaluation. Sometimes the source of the pain is a misalignment of the spine. A series of chiropractic adjustments will provide needed relief.

Complimentary modalities may be recommended, which will likely include physical therapy. Much like chiropractic, the concept is to provide relief naturally without the use of drugs or surgery. Physical therapy is a gradual process. The therapist develops an exercise routine and works with the patient to teach the exercises. Even after the sessions have been completed, patients are able to continue with the routine to maintain a state of wellness.

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.
