Connected Chiropractics October 2017 Healthy Newsletter
Elgin knee pain is a pain that Connected Chiropractic sees often. Pain medications and surgical procedures are commonly recommended while a new non-surgical chiropractic protocol is supplying exciting results. Principles of Cox® Technic flexion distraction and decompression - a technique used in clinic all the time for Elgin back pain and neck pain relief - were adapted for use with knee pain. They are shown to be of help in relieving knee pain. Overall, knee pain patients’ mean pain scores fell from 7.7 to 1.8 on a 10 point scale 1 least pain, 10 most pain in a mean of 5.3 visits over 3 weeks. In particular, acute knee pain patients’ pain scores dropped even more from a mean of 8.1 to 1.1 in 4.8 treatments in 2.4 weeks. Chronic knee pain patients’ scores fell from 7.5 to 2.2 in 5.4 treatments in 3.3 weeks. No one in the study reported any adverse side-effects. (1) It's gentle, relieving, and comfortable. Listen to a PODCAST by the author of this paper about his clinical experience with treating knee pain. This is an exciting addition to Connected Chiropractic’s Elgin chiropractic care!

A simple series of hip abductor exercises helped reduce pain and improve function for a set of older chronic low back pain sufferers. (2) Easy!
