i usually wear sneakers... like onitsuka tiger/adidas, if i wear slippers, its birkenstock.

initially started with a tiny area pain in my right knee during deep squat.



after chiro treatments, the entire right knee cap area is pain not just squatting, even when I sit down, stand up, sometimes going up and down the stairs as well.

and chiro also caused left knee pain which is more severe now - entire knee cap area is pain especially sitting down, standing up, going up/down the stairs.
plus while squatting, the areas shown in pictures below are in more intense pain.




for the back of the knee, most of the time I feel this pain, sometimes laying down too.
before chiro, i didn't have any pain with my left knee.

thanks!

A clear understanding you have sir!

Disclaimer, I am no expert, and a chiro/titdar that suitable for me, may not be suitable for you.

The summary between chiro/titdar written by someone else, is quite accurate... and not forgetting acupuncture also another method.

Some practitioners are purists, some will combine different techniques. Titdar also like KungFu, got different interpretations to path of recovery one. Some believe is ok to swollen after treatment, some will think it must not swollen.

I think you may have injury caused by cold stretch. For recovery, need time, and correct procedure to speed up the recovery. understand what could have caused it, is very important. In some cases, chiro or titdar also cannot solve, and only sufficient time it takes to recover.

In fact, I think you need acupuncturist. An acupuncturist may fix your pain, and provide some lifestyle corrections to avoid it. I seen acupuncture fix limited thumb movement by massaging a pressure point on the foot. They will decide if need to poke you (with those needles), if not at all. See if this method works for you.

Based on your shoe bottom wear pattern, you may need correct footwear that provides support during walking. This knowledge can be found at running websites. Hint: Asics shoes

Speaking from recovery experience:
- when sleep, wear something like a knee brace, but not tight one... just firm enough to hold on the knee to keep warm

- avoid stretching cold muscles... always warm up first. some body takes > half an hour to properly warm up, some ppl faster. I am suspecting cold stretch injury due to deep squat without thorough warm up. Suggest spend a good 10, 20, 30 minutes warm up before doing anything like that, or go really slow next time. Correct me if I am wrong.

thanks for your sharing! appreciate it
