The knee is the most commonly injured joint for both athletes and non-athletes! Knee pain and lack of knee mobility affects your ability to walk, sit and sleep comfortably, and even perform household tasks. If you are an athlete, knee pain will greatly affect your ability to jump, run, squat, and pivot. Sometimes knee pain isn’t even stemming from a knee issue at all, and can be caused by dysfunction in another area of the body. At Connecticut Osteopathic Center, we find out why your knee is hurting, how to prevent future injury, and how to safely get you back to your favorite activities. Treatment options may include Osteopathic Manipulative Treatment, dry needling, modification of activity, corrective exercises, dietary recommendations, as well as posture and ergonomic recommendations.
