How Chiropractic Can Help Patellofemoral Tracking Syndrome

Introduction

Are you suffering from Patellofemoral Tracking Syndrome (PFTS)? If so, you are not alone. PFTS, also known as Runner's Knee, is a common condition that affects many individuals who engage in sports or physical activities involving repetitive knee movements. At Backlund Chiropractic and Holistic Health, we understand the impact of PFTS on your daily life and are here to guide you towards a pain-free and active lifestyle.

Understanding Patellofemoral Tracking Syndrome

Before delving into the ways chiropractic care can help with PFTS, let's gain a clear understanding of this condition. PFTS occurs when the patella (kneecap) doesn't properly track within the femoral groove, causing pain and discomfort. It is often caused by muscular imbalances, overuse, trauma, or biomechanical abnormalities.

Chiropractic Approach to Patellofemoral Tracking Syndrome

At Backlund Chiropractic and Holistic Health, we take a comprehensive and holistic approach to treating PFTS. Our experienced team of chiropractors focuses on addressing the root causes of the condition rather than simply providing temporary relief from the symptoms. Through a combination of chiropractic adjustments, therapeutic exercises, and complementary therapies, we aim to restore proper alignment, improve muscle balance, and enhance overall joint function.

Chiropractic Adjustments

Chiropractic adjustments are a core component of our treatment approach for PFTS. Our highly skilled chiropractors use gentle manipulations to realign the knee joint and surrounding structures. By restoring proper alignment, we can alleviate pressure on the patellofemoral joint, promote optimal tracking, and reduce pain and inflammation.

Therapeutic Exercises

To complement chiropractic adjustments, we prescribe targeted therapeutic exercises tailored to your specific needs. These exercises aim to strengthen the muscles around the knee, improve flexibility, and correct imbalances. By engaging in regular exercise routines, you not only enhance the rehabilitation process but also prevent future occurrences of PFTS.

Complementary Therapies

In addition to chiropractic adjustments and therapeutic exercises, we offer a range of complementary therapies that can further support your recovery from PFTS. These may include soft tissue massage, ultrasound therapy, electrical stimulation, and cold laser therapy. Our expert therapists utilize these techniques to reduce pain, accelerate healing, and promote tissue regeneration.
