REHAB FOR MECHANICAL & NERVE ISSUES
There are 13 muscles which cross the knee joint. These muscles must work in unison to properly move the joint and balance the weight through the entire joint. Some muscles may become too tight or weak over time. The imbalance of tightness or weakness accelerates wear and tear on the joint. There are very few practitioners which are skilled in diagnosing and lengthening the tight muscles and strengthening the weak muscles. To compli- cate matters further, there are 12 muscles that cross the ankle and 16 muscles that move the hip. When walking, these muscles also play a role in the mechanics of the knee joint and must be con- sidered. Four nerves from the low back innervate the muscles that move the knee. Nerve function and back function therefore must also be consid- ered in a complete knee rehab regimen.
ALIGNMENT
Many patients with knee pain may have worn out only the inside or only the outside of the knee joint. This happens due to the muscle function and the actual alignment of the joint space. The lower bone or shinbone (tibia) may rotate inward or outward or straight back. The malalignment of the joint causes excessive stress and accelerates degeneration and damage unevenly through the joint. The detection and correction of this problem takes a high level of skill that is typically only perfected by a small number of chiropractors. The key is early detection before the malalignment becomes permanent.
Even if patients have already had joint re-
placements, the damage is very excessive, and all medical options have been tried, often correcting the muscle mechanics alignment can give a good amount of relief. Even though our orthopedic sur- geons are brilliant when it comes to joint replace- ments and other surgeries, they are not knowledge- able and would probably even be skeptical of these natural corrective procedures. We also offer a vast array of physical therapies including light thera- pies, electrical therapies, laser, shockwave/acoustic wave, as well as Ozone and Peptide therapy. •
