I finished up with my stem cell doc at end of December 2017, (treatments were Jan.,2017 and PRP shot, in the fall of 2017

My complaint to him was that both knees were stiff, and now I have pain in my right knee

He said arthritis, not much can be done about it

My question is has anybody had chiropractic care for knees, and if so, does it help

Also stem cell doc alluded to torn meniscus, but never took X-rays at that point

Thanks

    I had chiropractic care that helped delay LTKR for two years. My surgeon had to scrape the back of my arthritic kneecap and put a button behind it in addition to new joint. My chiropractor has learned a new technique that helps to decrease pain but ultimately I will need RTKR. I would like to delay until 12-18 months to recover fully from LTKR. Good luck!
