Knee pain is a common complaint among our patients here at Dallas Spine Center. People of all ages experience it, and a lot of things can cause it. Dr. Hoa Nguyen will evaluate your condition when you first visit the clinic to identify the proper treatment for it.
If your knee pain has marked swelling or if it’s accompanied by fever, you must see your medical doctor first. It’s important to note that not all knee pain can be treated through chiropractic care. Dr. Nguyen will tell you if you’re a good candidate.
What Causes Knee Pain
The most common causes of knee pain are injuries. A knee injury can affect your ligaments and tendons that surround your knee joint. Another cause of knee pain is a mechanical problem. If there’s degeneration of bone, it can cause a piece of your bone to break off. Certain types of arthritis may also lead to knee pain. Osteoarthritis, for instance, can cause knee pain because of a wear-and-tear condition happening in your knee cartilage. Sports injuries are also common. And if you had a previous knee injury, you’re likely to injure it again and experience pain.
Common Symptoms of Knee Pain
Dr. Hoa Nguyen will evaluate the symptoms of your knee pain as part of his thorough evaluation before recommending treatment. Here are some of the most common symptoms of knee pain:
- Swelling and stiffness
- Redness
- Weakness
- Popping noises
- Inability to straighten your knee
- Limited range of motion
How We Treat Knee Pain
Before Dr. Hoa Nguyen recommends any adjustment or treatment, he will ask about your medical history during your initial consultation with him. You should tell him if you have had knee injuries, surgeries, or any existing conditions. This will help him delve deeper into the specifics of your pain and overall condition to understand its location, intensity, and duration. Here are the possible treatments you may need for your knee pain.
- Shockwave therapy
- Hako-Med
- TENS unit
- Red light therapy
What to Expect During Your First Visit
You won’t undergo treatment immediately. Instead, you will be directed to the consultation room where Dr. Hoa Nguyen will examine you thoroughly. Your treatment will depend on the cause, symptoms, and the factors that contribute to the pain. Dr. Nguyen will also consider your symptoms, like inflammation, stiffness, and weakness. In some cases, our patients will undergo their first treatment during their first visit. Your experience may be a bit different from theirs. Generally, your first visit will last for 60 minutes or so. This is also the time when Dr. Nguyen will lay out your care.
Why Patients Choose Dr. Hoa Nguyen?
Patients dealing with knee pain choose Dr. Hoa Nguyen because of his 20 years of experience. They also like the fact that Dr. Nguyen will only recommend their treatment plan after a thorough evaluation. This means that the chiropractor doesn’t just guess at the proper treatment. Rather, his plan is based on the results of his investigation during the initial consultation. His patients also like the fact that they feel better after just one session.
