The specific treatment plan will depend on:

- Primary and accompanying symptoms (inflammation, muscle weakness, stiffness, etc.)
- Contributing factors (ergonomics, excess weight, poor posture, etc.)
Manual Spinal Manipulations – Adjustments
This hands-on technique aligns the spine and joints to reduce stress, improve postural movements, and enhance flexibility and mobility, alleviating knee pain and stiffness.
Traction
Traction involves stretching the knee to boost mobility and flexibility by reducing inflammation and swelling.
E-Stimulation Therapy
A TENS machine delivers tiny electric pulses to reduce swelling, tension, and encourage blood flow to the affected area.
Ultrasound Therapy
Sound waves provide a massaging effect, reducing pain, stiffness, inflammation, and more.
Infrared Heat Therapy
