Seeing a chiropractor is a great starting point to assess your pain and determine the cause. A doctor of chiropractic understands the body as a whole rather than a sum of parts. We get to the root of the issue and encourage healing and relief so that you can live your life pain-free.
It's all about the spine
If you know the relief chiropractors bring to millions of people suffering from back pain, you may be asking "do chiropractors treat knee pain?" The answer is yes – because everything connects back to the spine.
Your knee (as well as your feet and ankles) work in unison with the rest of your spine and lower body. For this reason, we examine not just your pain points but also your spine. When one area goes out of alignment, there is a high chance that the rest of your body will be disrupted as well.
Chiropractors specialize in natural, conservative, drug-free treatment methods to bring relief and healing to more than just the spine.

Finding the source of your pain
When it comes to your foot, ankle, calf, or knee pain, chiropractors can identify if the pain due to injury, health condition, or lifestyle change.
It is highly possible for your knee, foot, or ankle pain to arise without injury. Drastic changes in body weight or lifestyle can easily strain or shift your joints resulting in pressure and pain.
Chiropractic care can be an excellent alternative to prescription pain medications for most injuries, but not all. Talk to your doctor of chiropractic about the nature of your injury to determine how chiropractic can best help you.

help with knee pain?

Do chiropractors work on ankles?
Yes, a chiropractor offers treatment for the whole body. A doctor of chiropractic undergoes post-graduate education just like a medical doctor, but they specialize in the spine and central nervous system and how both influence the function of the whole body.
A chiropractor will treat your affected area, whether that be ankle pain or carpal tunnel, but will also examine the spine because of its influence on your entire body. Chiropractors use spinal adjustment to treat the spine but also conduct limb adjustments and even a chiropractic ankle adjustment.

Can a chiropractor help with a sprained ankle?
An ankle sprain means ligaments are already stretched and torn. This type of ankle injury may not improve from some chiropractic treatments. Chronic ankle pain with jamming or pinching is a better indicator of an issue a chiropractor can resolve.
If you are unsure of the type of ankle injury you are dealing with, a chiropractor is trained to find the problem.
