Did You Know that Chiropractic Treatment for Patellofemoral Syndrome Can Help Reduce Your Pain?
Patellofemoral syndrome is a painful condition in which the areas in front of the knee and around the kneecap are affected. It is caused by various factors, and no two cases are exactly the same. At Rockefeller Health & Medical, we offer chiropractic care for pain reduction for our patients in NYC, including the areas of Manhattan, Midtown East and West, and Rockefeller Center.
Frequently Asked Questions About Patellofemoral Syndrome
- How Does Chiropractic Care Help with Patellofemoral Syndrome? Because poor alignment, trauma, overuse, or a combination of two or all of these causes the pain, we can help reduce the pain by understanding the exact anatomy of the area and fixing the cause. If the issue is poor alignment, we have alignment techniques that have been proven to work effectively. If it is overuse or improper use, we can teach you correct methods in physical therapy sessions. If the problem started with trauma, we will start with healing and build from there.
- How Long Does the Syndrome Last? The duration depends on the individual case. Sometimes, the issue goes away with physical therapy and time. Other times, more intensive treatment is required, and even surgery is sometimes required to get back to normal.
- Who is at Risk of Getting Patellofemoral Syndrome? Athletes who run or use their knees a lot, people who work or play in a sport that puts the knee at risk for trauma, accident victims, and the elderly are all at a higher risk for the syndrome.
