Knee pain treated with chiropractic flexion distraction principles offers knee pain sufferers hope.

Overall knee pain patients reported pain drops from 7.7 to 1.8  (1 [no pain] – 10 [worst pain]) in a mean of 5.3 treatments over 3 weeks. More precisely, acute knee pain patients reported pain drops from 8.1 to 1.1 in 4.8 treatments in 2.4 weeks. And chronic knee pain patients reported pain drops from 7.5 to 2.2 in 5.4 treatments in 3.3 weeks.
