Knee pain can make walking, climbing stairs, or simply standing uncomfortable. It can come from many causes, including a sudden twist, repetitive movement, or gradual wear and tear in the joints and soft tissues of the knee. You might feel aching, stiffness, swelling, a popping or clicking sound, or a loose sensation when you try to move. When the spine, hips, or pelvis are not aligned properly, this can change how weight is carried through the legs and increase stress on the knee joint and its nearby structures. A chiropractor can help by adjusting spinal and joint alignment, helping muscles and joints around the knee work more smoothly, and reducing undue pressure on the knee. This treatment supports improved movement and comfort throughout the leg. If knee pain is limiting your activity or causing discomfort, it is suggested that you schedule a visit with a chiropractor to explore possible root causes, and begin working toward better mobility and ease.

Knee Pain

Knee pain is a frequent complaint that can arise from injuries, overuse, arthritis, or misalignments in the body. This pain can disrupt daily life, limiting movement and impacting quality of life. Knee discomfort often develops when the body’s structural alignment is off, which places extra strain on the knee joint and surrounding muscles and ligaments.

Chiropractic care focuses on reducing knee pain by assessing and addressing alignment throughout the lower body. Gentle adjustments may be used to realign the knee and correct imbalances in the hip, pelvis, and spine that contribute to excessive knee stress. Restoring alignment in these areas can relieve pressure on the joint, ease pain, and promote improved mobility.

To support these adjustments, chiropractors often incorporate exercises, stretches, and lifestyle guidance to improve strength and flexibility around the knee. Strengthening muscles surrounding the joint can offer additional stability, helping to prevent future injuries.

Is knee pain treatment going to be painful?

Patients may worry that adjustments or other treatments will hurt. Chiropractors reassure patients that the techniques used are generally gentle, with any discomfort being mild and short-lived. They work within the patient’s pain tolerance.

How many sessions will I need?

Frequency and number of sessions depend on the pain’s severity and the patient’s response to treatment. Chiropractors often suggest a treatment plan tailored to the individual, sometimes starting with frequent visits and tapering as improvement occurs.
