Hyperextension of the Knee

Extension of the knee beyond its normal limit is a common cause of knee pain. Patients may be aware of what happened if it occurred during sports activities, a misstep, or a workout, but other causes of hyperextension may not be so obvious to them. 

For example, one common troublemaker is resting one’s foot up on an ottoman while sitting, resulting in extension stress at the knee.

Activator Chiropractic adjustments can correct the problem quickly and precisely, and bring relief. 

Functional Impairment

     How is your condition affecting your ability to function in your life activities? 

     This is now the standard criterion used to determine a course of care, and how long that care will be covered by health insurance. 

     Doctors, Physical Therapists, and other caregivers are expected to measure patient status and effectiveness of their treatment plan by “Outcome Measures”----tools that reflect how well the patient is returning to normal life functioning.
