Guest guest Posted May 8, 2005 Report Share Posted May 8, 2005 Glad to hear you had some success, how did your Chiropractor realign your knees, was it via youe spine/hip joints? or through other means? victosean <bass5up@...> wrote: I'm 19 and just as I began my first year of college in September '04 the pain and swelling of my knees began. After seeing two orthopedists, one being a " knee specialist " , I was told that this disorder would heal itself through knee exercises. After it got worse and worse, until the point where I couldn't walk in February '05, my father spoke to a family friend who is a Chiropractor. He informed my dad that he has treated a number of patients with this disorder. 3 Months later, after multiple visits, I can spend up to an hour on an ellyptical machine and just yesterday walked 4 miles on a treadmill. When I began the treatment, I could barely walk at all. He has realigned my kneecaps and now they function correctly. Long story short, try seeing a chiropractor. Because I'm young and hadn't worn down the cartilage too much, the treatment has been very affective. If you've had this problem for many years, such treatment may be too late. But in any case, it's worth a shot. Try calling your local chiropractor and see what he's got to say. Doctor's won't reccommend you because it's a conflict of interest. But I'm letting you know if you see a good chiropractor it can help. Sorry to be long winded. Let me know if anyone has some success. -Adam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 9, 2005 Report Share Posted May 9, 2005 Someone asked how they adjust your knees. They actual do make a manipulation to your knee joint. My chiro kind of feels around, see how its moving, uses a little board under the knee, and makes an adjustment. He moves your leg up and down, as the knee is bending to see how it is functioning, feels where the bones below the knee are, and how they are moving too. My right and left knee were actually both out of alignment, but in different ways, he adjusts them differently. Of course, he also adjusts my back and neck. I have a problem on my right side, the right hip gets torked out a little, and then its movement gets restricted. This of course throws things off for my knee and ankle too. Ankle, he kinds of rotates it around, and then kind of pops it. I'm not techie , but thats the easiest way to explain it. Generally I'll notice pains in my ankle first. I've been to several docs, OS, PT's, etc, and they've all looked at me crazy with the ankle pain I have. The chiro knew what I was talking about, and it feels better when he's made an adjustment. I know not everyone likes chiropractic care, but i really think it depends on if you find a good one. Just like the several crappy OS's i've had, there are some good and some bad. Just when getting a regular doc, OS or PT. If your an athlete, or person who justs like to work out. Finding a doc that has those goals seems to make treatment go easier. I was lucky in finding a chiro, who enjoys working out regularly too, has a stregth and conditioning cert too. I get exercises to do at home or gym from him. They have been very benificial.

Guest guest Posted May 9, 2005 Report Share Posted May 9, 2005 OMG Connie... I have told my OS about my ankle pain and that I thought it was from my knee and he really did look at me as if I were crazy. It's my right ankle on the outside right under the ankle bone that sticks out. I might have to look into going to the chiropractor. Thanks!

Guest guest Posted May 11, 2005 Report Share Posted May 11, 2005 well, it took about three, four months for it to stick somewhat. But, anyway, the basic gist is he held my leg by the calf and upper leg, and twisted it into a certain position so that my kneecap popped into place. However, it continuously slid out of place because the muscles had been trained like that for almost a year. We decided to try doing the adjustment 5 days in a row and that proved to be very helpful. It didn't slide out much. Now, my knees are finally in place, however they feel nowhere near 100%. I still can't run or jog, and its hard to be on my feet for more than 2-3 hours. The chiropractor says its because the muscles need strengthenign, i dont know if i buy that. But I'm just trying to keep my hopes up that someday this shit will all go away, or at least get close. It wouldn't be so bad if I was older, but I'm still young, and this has been devestating. My favorite activity, concertgoing, is no longer enjoyable. Jumping up and down and dancing are no longer on my " can-do " list. By the way, all that chiro treatment was pretty expensive. My co-pay was $50 a visit. But if it works, it's worth every penny.

Small-angle extensions with low weight will develop the VMO, which should help pull the kneecap medially. >But I'm just trying to keep my hopes up that someday this shit will all go away, or at least get close. It wouldn't be so bad if I was older, but I'm still young, and this has been devestating. As an older person (62) I assure you that it WOULD be so bad if you were older. You're not dead till you're dead, and until then, if you've been active, you want to continue to be active. Getting old sucks, and if your knees prevent you from being as active as you could be, believe me, it's bad. Don't write off " older " people. You'll be one before you know it and there's no going back. >My favorite activity, concertgoing, is no longer enjoyable. Jumping up and down and dancing are no longer on my " can-do " list. Try McConnell tape. It can help. You can get instructions on how to tape it from a physical therapist. You'll probably need a referral from an OS or maybe your chiro.

Sorry -- I didn't mean to get all aggressive. I'm pretty sensitive about remarks about " older " people because I never planned on being one (do any of us? Really -- it comes as a very rude surprise). I mean just 5 years ago I didn't hurt all over, and my knee was kind of OK. Good luck. The McConnell taping has been a good stopgap for me.

Along with almost an evangelical persuasiveness by the chiropractor that spinal alignment is an imperative for rehab and then prevention, and is promoted as the only way (there are a few different schools of chiropractic, Gonstead being quite 'purist') success depends on continual adjustment, intensly for several weeks then periodically for the rest of your life. I'm sure there is truth in this, and also there are other chiropractic methods, but it seems this this particular clinic hinges everything on treating the spine and the rest will somehow follow. So I went to the physio clinic that I've been seeing with greater success for my knees, as they have a spinal clinic. The emphasis here is more on mobility and range of motion and rather than being totally dependent on the healing hand of chiropractic, its more about self management, exercises etc plus some milder forms of manipulation, which means less visits are necessary which means less money. Its only when I told her what the chiropractor wanted to to do that she unleashed a long lecture on how the emphasis on spinal alignment is more of a misconception and that you can hardly re-align the spine as the differnences are too slight to have real effect, its muscles and ROM which need attention. Both are Professionals and each have conflicting belief systems, and I'm just an average Joe who just wants to get back on the bike. Which brings me onto my complaint about professional healthcare in general. It seems that each method is there to refute the other (not entirely of course), without much interdisciplinary dialogue. As a consumer of these different schools that just wants some non invasive relief, its luck to find a practitioner with more wholistic awareness. Technique refutes Yoga, my massage therapist refutes Rolfing, my physio refutes pilates, chiro refutes this n that, and yet each discipline will have countless test case success stories to support itself as the most effective method where all else has failed. Sorry for the length of this post, but my final point is a plug for 2 books I've found helpful regarding backs and knees also. Both are by Kit Laughlin, 'Overcoming Neck and Back Pain' and 'Stretching and Flexibility' They seem clear and address some of the confusing issues that can predispose you to CP such as 'pelvic obliquity' and leg length differences, as well as just general maintenance. I've got the 2nd book and the 1st is on order, so i'll write more when it arrives. Its a labyrinth of information out there and sometimes healthcare professional hardly make it any clearer!

Guest guest Posted May 12, 2005 Report Share Posted May 12, 2005 One other possible approach is to find the right Doctor of Physical Medicine, or Physiatrist (they're MD's). The right ones use a whole range of approaches, so might be the synthesis you're looking for. " Finding the right one " is the problem.

Guest guest Posted May 13, 2005 Report Share Posted May 13, 2005 Hi , I think the key is finding a chiro who shows you, tells you what exercises to strengthen the areas you need help with, along with the adjustments. At home strength exercises are part of the treatment from my chiro. I ask him if he has exercises or stretches in areas I'm tight, exercises or movements to avoid doing which can aggrivate some of my problems. If your not doing anything to the muscle in the area to make is stronger, and healthier, etc. Then honestly you will need to come in repeatedly since your not doing anything to get things to stay in the correct place. On the other front, just seeing a pt, isn't the best either. I've had horible pt people. As far as a plan, and new exercises. Doing the same things over and over again, was a waste of time. The only reason I went to the last place was for the ultrasound, massage time. The gym time was a joke. Granted I got stuck with a looser, should have requested someone else, but i didn't. The last guy didn't have a clue, and left me with back problems. If I found a fantastic pt, well, maybe I'd have something better to say about them. As far as doing muscle work, like 3 inches up and 3 inches down from the target area is what the pts tend to do. Sorry, a massage thereapist is going to loosen those muscles up a lot better. They don't just use the 4 " inch up or down, they investigate and try to figure out what is going on. Again, you have to find a good massage therapist. Granted most insurance companies don't cover massage thereapy at all. I did find out that in ohio you can get the tax waved if you have an Rx for the massage. Its not much, but saves you a litte cash. My best advice is if you like one of the approaches you've found. Take a little from the places you have seeked and put it together yourself. If certain exercises and stretches from some yoga or pilates class helps you out great. Borrow a few from the pt person, and maybe check out a chiro or OS advice and swirl it up for yourself. Unfortunately YOU, are the person to most benefit from you getting better. The docs, therapist, chiros, others, many just don't care, so its sad we have to do the leg work to find the few that do a great job and put the info together that helps you the best.

Guest guest Posted May 13, 2005 Report Share Posted May 13, 2005 Hi Connie, For my knees it has been a graduall process of taking things that seem to work from all quarters, and I've hopefully found the main ingredients for managing the CP for the moment. The back is new territory so I'm more at the mercy of the practitioners education, their own limits of knowledge etc. Its hard to generalise each field as being better or worse than the other because a good pt or chiro is exactly what they are, good. They should be able to cover most angles rather than having a myopic attention to the problem. I guess the fact that the chiro didn't give me any 'homework' left me with the feeling that getting better was in his hands only, and this is what he believes in and I don't doubt that this probably does work, if you can afford it (the UK has a different health system, so insurance isn't necessary on the National Health Service, but there are waiting lists, so the alternative is private which isn't cheap, and once injured, insurance gets very expensive) But like I said before, the clinic I went to is famous for being purist, and other people I've known have had completely different experiences with their chiroprators. Anyway, I went to pt centre today for my 2nd visit with the spinal clinic, and her approach seems more useful. starting with massage, gradually building in pressure over half an hour and then at the end, Smack, crack wallop...after the dizzieness subsided I felt better, plus she gave me more homework. Hopefully fixing the back will give the knees less excuse for getting upset zumbergc <zumbergc@...> wrote: Hi , I think the key is finding a chiro who shows you, tells you what exercises to strengthen the areas you need help with, along with the adjustments.

Guest guest Posted December 19, 2007 Report Share Posted December 19, 2007 He might be more akin to a naturopath. My chiropractor isn't just a snap, crackle, pop doc - he has a variety of areas of knowledge and he can treat medical issues that go beyond the alignment of the neck and spine. He recovered my son from autism, treated my other son's digestive disorders and helped me with a variety of my own medical issues. There are traditional chiropractors who only do adjustments and then there are chiropractors who expand their knowledge - usually starting with nutrition and other natural remedies (homeopathy, herbs, etc.) Just a guess.....

Guest guest Posted December 20, 2007 Report Share Posted December 20, 2007 Your spine is the core of your body...if something is out of alignment and that disc is high up enough on your spine, it can cause tooth aches, ear aches, headaches etc. This thinking applies all the way down your spine. Personally, when I am out of alignment inbetween my shoulder blades, I get numbness in my fingertips. Regular maintenance chiropractic adjustments can keep you healthy. Especially during cold and flu season...adjustment scan keep the fluids in your head moving, helping to avoid sinus and ear infections.

Guest guest Posted December 20, 2007 Report Share Posted December 20, 2007 You make it sound so simple! : ) I have been telling people this for YEARS and they look at me like I have 3 heads. And it makes perfect sense. But so many people do not understand. All my friends think Chiro's are quacks, and they do more harm then good. I was almost paralyzed by a sports medicine PT and my Chiro was my angel. I'll go to one always, and before a primary care doc. Yet all my friends walk around with back, neck, hip, and leg pain on pain meds and complain that they don't feel any better, and then they go to physical therapy where someone who knows nothing about the spine works you in ways that could really hurt you if you are not alligned. My sister calls me crying every week about her back. She's on Vicodin and has an MRI scheduled for saturday. She keeps asking me what to do. I know my chiro could help, but because you have to keep going back she won't commit.

Guest guest Posted December 22, 2007 Report Share Posted December 22, 2007 I worked as a Chrio asst for 3 years before I had my two babies and they both get adjusted 2x a month. It's perfectly safe with a licensed doctor, and is excellent preventative care, especially if your kids are prone to falling at the playground like mine. Your chiro probably has tons of research information to give you about how good it if for babies (and for adults too). -Charlie in Santa Clara le <habib_allaah09@...> wrote: My aunt thinks they are horrible and she Freaked when I told her I had my son adjusted once, I had been told (and just figured) that because of the way they are born and how everything basically squishes all together they are all out of line after birth, I knew one baby that would NOT lie on his back...his parents thought he just didn't want to lay in his bed but he was actually hurting. I personally love my chiro, especially now that Im 36 weeks along. > > > Your spine is the core of your body...if something is out of > > alignment and that disc > > is high up enough on your spine, it can cause tooth aches, ear aches, > > headaches etc. > > > > This thinking applies all the way down your spine.
