When participating in sports, experiencing a sports injury is quite common, and rehabilitation may be necessary. Knee pain often arises from contact sports. At Grove Chiropractic in Dodge City, Dr. Grove offers chiropractic techniques to provide the knee pain relief you require. Before recommending any treatments, Dr. Grove will conduct a thorough examination and perform x-rays.

Cryotherapy

Cryotherapy involves applying ice to an injury, a practice that many people already engage in at home when they suspect a strain or sprain. Cold not only alleviates pain but also reduces blood circulation to the affected area. When the cold is removed, blood rushes back, promoting healing.

Massage

Massage is an essential treatment for soft tissue injuries. Therapeutic massage helps break up scar tissue and knots or trigger points, while also aiding in the relaxation of stiff and sore tissues. In chiropractic care, massage serves not only for the pleasurable sensation but also to stretch the soft tissues.

Electric Stimulation

Electric stimulation utilizes low levels of electricity to stimulate muscles. By stimulating the muscles, they contract and subsequently tire, leading to relaxation. The use of electrical stimulation also triggers the production of endorphins, which act as natural pain relievers.

Therapeutic Exercise

Therapeutic exercise is tailored to target the specific area of your injury and is incorporated as part of our treatment plan. We will demonstrate how to perform the exercises and provide you with the necessary guidance to continue them at home. Regular stretching and strengthening of your muscles will help maintain the progress achieved through healing.
