Description
This week, we are joined by Holistic Integration's Associate Chiropractor Dr. Clinton Dodge and our Occupational Therapist Meghan Walton to talk about Knee issues, which is the #2 most expensive...
show more—Why there are so many problems with the Knee because it takes stress "with almost every motion that we make", with forces of up to 7 times our body weight impacting it.
—The reason that most Knee injuries occur because of "improper biomechanics", as most of us cause stress on our Knees through improper movement.
—The complex anatomy of the Knee. And why Holistic Integration just doesn’t look at the Knee when there is a problem, but also all the ligaments and muscles surrounding it.
—How most acute Knee injuries happen during sports, while most chronic Knee issues are a result of aging. And the connection between a young person's growth spurts and Knee injuries.
—The importance of the range-of-motion for the Knee to our Activities of Daily Living like going down stairs, putting your shoes on, and standing for longer than 15 minutes. And why you should "look to the horizon" before you start to lift something.
—How Holistic Integration offers patients many different options for gentle, non-force Chiropractic techniques.
—Why Decompression Therapy helps patients with "bone-on-bone" conditions to lower the pressure on the joint so that fluid and nutrients can enter into the Knee. And why Dr. Dodge says our Knees "have a supply-chain issue" when it comes to blood flow.
—The necessity of Corrective Exercises for Knee problems. And how the Knee braces and Orthotics offered by Holistic Integration are fit and tailored to your particular condition.
—How Dry-Needling can "jump start" and expedite the healing process, and also relax tight muscles to help keep the Knee properly aligned.
—How Jack, a scientist himself, was able to avoid Knee surgery because of his treatment program at Holistic Integration.
