CHIROPRACTIC CARE FOR KNEE PAIN
Chiropractic care for knee pain focuses on restoring proper joint alignment and addressing biomechanical imbalances throughout the lower extremity. Through targeted adjustments of the knee, ankle, and hip joints, chiropractors help improve range of motion and reduce inflammation affecting the knee complex.
Treatment plans typically combine joint manipulation with soft tissue therapy, strengthening exercises, and rehabilitation techniques to address conditions like meniscus injuries, patellofemoral pain syndrome, and osteoarthritis. By correcting movement patterns and muscle imbalances, chiropractic care helps reduce knee pain while improving stability and function during daily activities.
OUR APPROACH IS UNIQUE AND DIFFERENT
Most people try to deal with their knee pain using prescription or over-the-counter drugs. This may help to relieve the symptoms in the short-term, but not only are patients dealing with side effects, the underlying issue goes unaddressed.
Chiropractic treatment is a natural practice that addresses the structural cause that leads to the majority of knee pain. Following a thorough chiropractic assessment aimed at ruling out other issues and finding the exact source of the problem, a personalized recovery plan is developed. Gentle adjustments can bring instant relief and restore long term health to the knee and the entire body. Call our team at Integrated Medical Group today to set up a consultation and bring an end to your knee pain.

COMMON CAUSES OF KNEE PAIN
There can be A LOT of different causes of knee pain. Remember, at our clinic we work to dig, find, and FIX the root cause. We do this safely and with natural methods. We always encourage patients to start with natural treatment first which doesn't have side effects. Oftentimes cortisone shots and surgeries will have long-term side effects / consequences. Start conservative and go more invasive as a last resort. Here are some of the most common causes of knee pain.
Tendonitis
Essentially inflammation of the tendons surrounding the knee. Oftentimes patients will experience pain in the front of the knee that is made worse when climbing stairs or walking up hill.
Osteoarthritis
Osteoarthritis includes pain, inflammation, and joint destruction caused by degeneration and deterioration of the joint. Basically wear and tear of the joint.
Meniscus Tear
This is a rupture in the cartilage of the knee. Oftentimes meniscus tears are related to some form of trauma. Many athletes suffer from meniscus tears.
Torn Ligaments
Again, generally trauma induced. It might includes tears in one of the four ligaments in the knee — the most commonly injured ligament is the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL).
Bursitis
This is inflammation of the bursa caused by repeated overuse or injury of the knee.
Rheumatoid Arthritis
RA a chronic autoimmune inflammatory disorder that causes painful swelling and can eventually cause joint deformity and bone erosion. One of our specialties is autoimmune conditions.
