OVERVIEW:
Knee pain is a very common complaint affecting people young, old, and everywhere in between. Pain in the knee can often be associated with general wear and tear from daily activities like walking, bending, standing, and lifting. Athletes or people who run or play sports that involve jumping or quick pivoting movements are more likely to experience knee pain and knee issues. Regardless of how the pain has come about, it can be an inconvenience and even crippling in some situations, so it is important to take care of your pain.

SYMPTOMS:
The intensity of knee pain can differ significantly, based on the state of injury. Some may feel only a slight spasm or ache, while others may experience debilitating knee pain interfering with their daily activities. Symptoms include swelling or stiffness, redness and warmth to touch, weakness, or instability, popping or crunching noises, or lack of range of motion. Pain can be caused by mechanical problems, types of arthritis, bakers’ cysts, ACL, MCL, or LCL injuries, bursitis, tendonitis, iliotibial band syndrome, a dislocated kneecap, or pain in other areas of the body.  With our acupuncture treatments, we relax the nervous system while improving energy and blood flow.
