PANAMA CITY, Fla. - Nov. 4, 2015 - PRLog -- Our knee is the largest joint of our body that also takes lot of tolls with stooping, kneeling and running around since we start crawling as a toddler. The knee is also prone to lot of injury when we are young such as a torn ligament or ruptured meniscus.  As we grow old, other arthritis can ensue, as in gout and osteoarthritis. Moreover, as we age the body’s joints weaken, which can lead to chronic knee pain acting as a burden on our everyday life. But you don’t have to suffer anymore because with right chiropractic treatment, you can be on your knees once again without suffering with pain.

A leading chiropractor in Panama City FL, Dr. Tony Salamay offers an effective knee pain treatment program which is customized as per patient’s medical and physical condition. His treatment focuses on locating the cause of pain, in order to give patients long-term relief and speedy recovery.

There are various reasons where knee pain can develop. While the injury reason is already mentioned, accidents are also another reason of chronic knee pain. In a general manner of speaking, knee injuries can be divided into three groups- injury based, arthritis based and body mechanics based. Excruciating knee pain can limit one’s movement and prevent you from simple activities like walking, standing from a sitting position, folding knees etc. The symptoms of knee pain include severe and marked swelling, pain and redness, inability to bear any weight and others.

The tests conducted by Dr.Salamay include neurological and orthopedic testing along with diagnostic radiography to determine  the cause of the injury or condition. After the cause is determined, a tailored treatment plan is devised to better address the problem. Under Dr. Salamay the patient receives treatment in 3 phases. In the first stage the pain and the inflammation is reduced, in the second stage the aim is to normalize the function of the joints including the knee. The third stage is also known as the strengthening or rehabilitative stage.  During this stage, stretches are usually given, as well as exercises to strengthen the muscles surrounding the knee joint.  The type of exercises may include strengthening the abdominal core,  as well as to strengthen the quadriceps and hamstring muscles. Once the patient is able to fully recover and heal, they’re recommended to resume their activities of daily life.
