Nashville Knee Pain Relief
Is knee pain taking the joy out of gardening or playing with the grand kids? We all agree: Pain is Bad and living a full life includes eliminating it.
Do you find yourself avoiding the stairs and taking the elevator because of creaky knees? Are you taking more and more pain medicine just to get through the day? Patients are often apprehensive to go to the chiropractor as they fear that dreaded first knee adjustment.
Although they know they will likely experience relief of their knee pain, it is difficult to take the first step. At Action Spine & Joint, our non-surgical bone specialists perform therapeutic and non-surgical adjustments to the knee using a low-force method that is gentle and does not hurt. Dr. Bearden attended the Palmer College of Chiropractic and has been trained on Palmer adjustment techniques.
Only a small movement is needed to align the joint. To support the alignment and healing, we often prescribe a regiment that includes physical therapy exercises and sometimes intervals of ice to reduce both swelling and pain to realign the joint.

Avoid Knee Surgery
Knee Replacement May Not be Required
If knee pain is diminishing your joy in living, let us help you. Television ads tell you that taking a simple pill will relieve all of your symptoms.
There are side effects and sometimes long term damage pills and medications can cause. This can be worse than the knee pain itself. Friends and neighbors tell you that you have reached the age for knee replacement. But knee surgery is not a given as you age.
Don’t let pain keep you from the activities that make life worth living. Surprisingly, very few of our knee pain patients have come to us because of a sports injury or an accident. Knee damage can occur over time.
Four Primary Sources of Knee Pain
- EArthritis (wear & tear)
- EA knee surgery gone bad or re-injured
- E A misaligned knee joint
- EImproper nutrional component
Many people have felt resigned to the fact that they will need expensive surgery with extensive rehab in order to replace the knees. It’s like braces when you are a teenager – when you get to be a certain age, you have to have your knees replaced.

What Patients Are Saying About Us
Chiropractic Care FAQ’s
What conditions benefit from chiropractic treatment?
Conditions benefiting from Chiropractic Care
Usually you think of lower back pain or spinal stenosis when you think of chiropractic. But it also helps with things like migraine headaches, neck and shoulder pain, ligament damage, knee injuries, carpal tunnel syndrome, fibromyalgia, and infantile colic.
Can Chiropractic help my “slipped disk”?
Spinal discs are not simply stacked bone segments. They are fluid-cushions that act as shock absorbers between the bones of the spine. The discs allow for pain-free movement and keep the vertebrae from grinding against each other. They work perfectly when the spine is correctly aligned.
When the spine gets misaligned because of stress, accident, or dislocation, the disc may “bulge” out between the vertebrae and lose their fluid. Eventually, the vertebrae rub against each other. This causes severe pain. Traditional treatment often involves surgery and pain-killing drugs.
Chiropractors work to gently realign the spine so that the discs no longer “bulge”. This prevents further deterioration of the disc and provides the needed cushion between the vertebrae, alleviating the pain.
Does chiropractic hurt?
Chiropractic adjustments can be very gentle. After the treatment , you may feel like you have had a good, solid workout at the gym. You may feel a bit of discomfort during the actual adjustment, but it usually lasts only seconds. You may hear some “popping” sounds, which comes from the bones getting back into line. It is the same thing as “popping” your fingers.
Is chiropractic “safe”?
Chiropractic practice is extremely safe. Chiropractic practitioners have a lot of training and experience to put just the right amount of pressure on your bones and joints and bring you back into alignment. And when you compare chiropractic with the number of mistakes in traditional medicine, chiropractic care shows up as very safe indeed. Some have estimated the risks as one million to one.
What kind of education and training do doctors of chiropractic have?
Before entering into a chiropractic college, one must complete a minimum of 2 years of undergraduate study, and many colleges require a four-year undergraduate science degree. Training in chiropractic care involves extensive study of the neuromusculo-skeletal diagnosis and treatment. The course of study focuses on three areas: (1) basic training in biological and health sciences, (2) specialized training in chiropractic theory, practice, technique, diagnosis, and application, and (2) extensice clinical and practice training with patients.

These may include, custom orthotics, cervical pillows, neck and back supports, and home rehabilitation equipment.
Is Chiropractic treatment expensive?

Is chiropractic treatment just for back pain?
Chiropractors are generally specialists of the spine, but can treat any alignment problem from feet and ankles, to chest and shoulders, and wrists and hands as well. And many ailments are related in some way to a spinal problem.
Do I have to stay in chiropractic treatment forever?
Many people come to a chiropractor for a single specific ailment. You may decide that once you are out of pain, you have completed treatment. However, for permanent relief, it may take more time and commitment on your part, depending on the severity of your pain. You are in complete control of how long your treatment lasts. Your chiropractor will give you as much information as you need to may an informed decision about how long and to what extent you will benefit from chiropractic care.
