Knee pain can take away your freedom—your ability to walk, climb, or even enjoy life’s simple pleasures without constant discomfort. But imagine if there were a way to find relief without surgery or relying on pills.

 

Chiropractic care offers a powerful, natural approach that doesn’t just mask the symptoms but targets the true source of your pain.

​

Why You Might Be Experiencing Knee Pain

​

Your knees are workhorses—they carry your weight and absorb the impact of every movement. Injuries, misalignment, or even wear and tear over time can trigger pain that disrupts your life. Poor posture or gait issues can also throw everything off balance, putting extra stress on your knees.

​

How Chiropractic Care Transforms Knee Pain Relief

​

The body is a connected system. When one part is off-balance, other parts suffer. That’s why we focus on treating your knee pain by addressing not only the knee itself but the entire musculoskeletal structure.

​

  1. Precise Adjustments: Gentle chiropractic adjustments realign your joints, promoting natural movement and reducing inflammation. Correcting alignment eases knee pain, boosts mobility, and allows your body to heal itself.

  2. Targeted Soft Tissue Therapy: The pain around your knee often comes from tense or damaged soft tissues. With soft tissue therapy, we work to relax tight muscles, improve blood flow, and speed up the healing process—helping you feel instant relief.

  3. Customized Strength & Stretch Exercises: We believe in empowering you to take charge of your recovery. With guided exercises tailored just for you, you can strengthen key muscles, restore flexibility, and rebuild the knee’s resilience—getting you back on your feet and doing what you love.

  4. Lifestyle Optimization: From simple postural tweaks to everyday activities, small changes can make a big difference. We provide lifestyle guidance designed to keep your knees strong and prevent future issues—so you stay pain-free.

You’ll feel empowered, not dependent. You’ll gain flexibility, strength, and a renewed sense of freedom. And you’ll experience personalized care crafted entirely around your goals and lifestyle.

Possible Causes of Your Knee Pain​

 

Knee pain is an extremely common complaint, and there are many causes. It is important to make an accurate diagnosis of the cause of your symptoms so that appropriate treatment can be directed at the cause. If you have knee pain, some common causes include:

​

  • Arthritis - Arthritis is among the most common causes of knee pain, and there are many treatments available.

  • Ligament Injuries - Ligament injuries commonly occur during athletic activities and can cause discomfort and instability.

  • Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) Injury

  • Posterior Cruciate Ligament (PCL) Injury

  • Medial Collateral Ligament (MCL) Injury

  • Cartilage Injuries | Meniscal Tear - Cartilage tears are seen in young and old patients alike and are also an extremely common cause of knee pain.

  • Patellar Tendonitis - Tendonitis around the joint is most commonly of the patellar tendon, the large tendon over the front of the knee.

  • Chondromalacia Patella - Chondromalacia causes knee pain under the kneecap and is due to softening of the cartilage. It is most common in younger patients (15-35 years old).

  • Dislocating Kneecap - A dislocating kneecap causes acute symptoms during the dislocation, but can also lead to chronic knee pain.

  • Baker's Cyst - A Baker's cyst is swelling in the back of the joint, and is usually a sign of another underlying problem such as a meniscus tear.

  • Bursitis - The most common bursa affected around the joint is just above the kneecap. This is most common in people who kneel for work, such as gardeners or carpetlayers.

  • Plica Syndrome - Plica syndrome is an uncommon cause of knee pain, and can be difficult to diagnose. The diagnosis is usually made at the time of arthroscopy.

  • Osgood-Schlatter Disease - Osgood-Schlatter disease is a condition seen in adolescents and is due to irritation of the growth plate just at the front of the joint.

  • Osteochondritis Dissecans - Osteochondritis dissecans (OCD) is another condition seen in adolescents due to the growth of the bone around the joint.

  • Gout - Gout is an uncommon cause of knee pain. However, in patients who have a diagnosis of gout, it must be considered as a cause for new onset knee pain.
