MEDICINE’S TRY AT KNEE DISTRACTION WITH A DEVICE

Medical care for most ailments including knee pain is typically medication and surgery. Lately, it has devised a joint-specific distraction device that wasn’t a hit with patients because of its not allowing flexion throughout the treatment phase of 6 weeks. The researchers revised its design a bit, but it is still being investigated to see how patients accept it. (1) Well, chiropractors have a better, more tolerable way to treat the knee with distraction! It’s soothing. It feels good. It doesn’t have be a conspicuous device worn everywhere to be valuable! It does not involve meds! So good.

Richmond CHIROPRACTIC CARE FOR KNEE PAIN RELIEF WITH THE HANDS

Knee pain treated with chiropractic flexion distraction principles offers knee pain sufferers hope. A new report just published reports on 25 patients with knee pain (many with osteoarthritis, some acute, some chronic, even some post-knee replacement with continued knee pain) treated with chiropractic flexion distraction. Overall knee pain patients described pain drops from 7.7 to 1.8 (1 [no pain] – 10 [worst pain]) in a mean of 5.3 treatments over 3 weeks. More specifically, acute knee pain patients had pain drops from 8.1 to 1.1 in 4.8 treatments in 2.4 weeks. And chronic knee pain patients noted pain drops from 7.5 to 2.2 in 5.4 treatments in 3.3 weeks.

	Pain Score Drop (1 no pain - 10 worst pain)	# of Treatments	# of Weeks
Overall	7.7 to 1.8	5.3	3
Acute	8.1 to 1.1	4.8	2.4
Chronic	7.5 to 2.2	5.4	3.3

Additionally, none of them had adverse side-effects. (2) Does Cox Technic flexion distraction deliver knee pain relief like it does for spine pain by opening the knee space to boost nutritional flow, dropping pressure, and lessening rubbing of degenerative joints and surrounding bones? A biomechanical study will one day reveal the answer, but for now Richmond knee pain sufferers can enjoy some relief.
