Gaithersburg Doctor Reveals the Knee Injury Treatment Protocol that has been helping Local CrossFitters get Back in The Gym Fast.
... while also avoiding expensive medications and surgeries.
One of the scariest things that can happen in the life of a young athlete is having to deal with injuries. The uncertainty of getting good treatment and the rehab process is something that keeps even the toughest athletes up at night. One of the scariest injuries that young athletes have to deal with are knee injuries.
It's hard to know whether or not you have a minor injury that is caused by overuse or something more serious that could require surgery and keep you out of competing longterm. The good news is that once you understand the usual core causes of knee pain and instability in young athletes, you can actually do something about it with some very simple and inexpensive treatments. Once you understand what is actually causing your knee issues, you can also do a lot to avoid the things that caused it (and get your body over the issue before it becomes a long term problem).
While some common athletic knee injuries do require surgeries and long term rehab, it's important to know about the type of knee injuries that are common in young athletes that don't. Understanding this can save you a lot of money and rehab time and get you back to competing fast.
So... what are some of the most common athletic knee injuries that don't require surgery and long rehab times? (keep reading)

Family Chiropractic's
Athletic Knee & Stability Protocol:
After working with hundreds of Athletes who have been afflicted with knee pain for years, we've developed a treatment protocol that is specifically tailored to the body of a Young Athlete. Because of this focus we've developed a gentle and medication-free Knee Pain treatment Protocol that has been very successful.
Our Special Treatment Protocol uses a combination of Gentle Knee and Hip Joint Adjustments, Supportive Kinesio Taping, FDA Approved Cold Laser Therapy, as well as a Focused personal Home Rehabilitation program.
Most of the knee issues we see in older athletes took years to develop. Our treatment works because we make sure that we set your body up to heal before the condition is allowed to get worse. Our success rate with this condition is based on the fact that we always allow your body to do what it needs to do. No two patient's knee conditions are alike and we make sure that we treat each condition as such. This is critical in making sure that you heal as quickly as possible, while staying safe.
PLEASE NOTE: Not all Knee Conditions are treatable with this protocol. We take special care during our exam to make sure that this treatment is right for you. (see below for more)
