Common Causes of Knee Pain
- Osteoarthritis and other forms of arthritis
- Meniscus tears and ligament sprains
- Sports injuries and overuse
- Tendinitis
- Injuries from auto accidents and falls
- Poor alignment in the hips, feet, or spine
- Excess body weight placing stress on the joint
Diagnosing Knee Pain
When you visit us, our chiropractors review your medical history and perform a thorough evaluation. We palpate the knee and listen for clicking or grinding, and may take X-rays to determine the root cause of your pain. We then create an individualized treatment plan for your needs. Appointments may be more frequent during the early stages of treatment.
Treatments for Knee Pain
Your treatment depends on the cause and severity of your condition. For example, osteoarthritis may be approached differently than a meniscus tear. Because the knee is affected by the hips and spine, our chiropractors may also adjust the neck, spine, and hips to help relieve knee pain. Treatment options include:
- Chiropractic adjustments and extremity care
- Cold laser therapy
- Physical therapy
- invisa-RED™ light therapy
- Therapeutic exercises
Your care plan may also include posture improvement, weight loss, and nutritional counseling. Excess weight places more strain on the knee joints, and improving posture can increase range of motion and help prevent further injury.
Knee Pain FAQs
Can a chiropractor help knee pain?
Yes. Chiropractors treat knee pain with extremity adjustments, alignment of the hips and spine, cold laser therapy, physical therapy, and exercise.
Why would a chiropractor adjust my hips or spine for knee pain?
The hips, spine, and feet affect how forces travel through the knee. Correcting misalignment elsewhere can reduce strain on the knee joint.
Will I need X-rays for knee pain?
X-rays may be taken if needed to determine the root cause of your pain.
Can losing weight help knee pain?
Yes. Excess weight increases stress on the knees, so reaching a healthy weight can reduce pain and slow joint wear.
Can you treat knee pain from osteoarthritis?
Yes. We use gentle adjustments, cold laser therapy, and strengthening exercises to reduce arthritis pain and stiffness.
How often will I need treatment?
Visits are often more frequent early in care and are spaced out as your knee improves.
