Minster Chiropractic Centers October 2017 Healthy Newsletter
Minster knee pain is a pain that Minster Chiropractic Center sees a lot. Pain meds and surgical procedures abound while a new non-surgical chiropractic approach is supplying quite promising results. Principles of Cox® Technic flexion distraction and decompression - a technique utilized in clinic daily for Minster back pain and neck pain relief - were customized for use with knee pain. They proved successful 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 with 10 being the worst pain in a mean of 5.3 visits over 3 weeks. In particular, acute knee pain patients’ pain scores dropped more dramatically from a mean of 8.1 to 1.1 in 4.8 treatments in 2.4 weeks. Chronic knee pain patients’ scores fell 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.
