Knee Pain

The knee plays a central role in supporting movement and absorbing force during daily activity.

Knee pain may be influenced by:

• Repetitive movement or overuse
• Changes in how you walk or move
• Muscle imbalances around the hips or legs
• Previous injuries or strain

Over time, these factors can affect how force is distributed through the joint.

Knee pain can present in different ways depending on the situation.

You may notice:

• Discomfort when walking or climbing stairs
• Pain during or after activity
• Stiffness or reduced movement
• Swelling or sensitivity around the joint
• Difficulty with bending or straightening the knee

These patterns can affect how you move throughout the day.

Care is based on understanding how the knee is moving and how it is being supported by surrounding structures.

This may include:

• Looking at movement patterns such as walking or bending
• Assessing alignment of the hips, knees, and ankles
• Identifying areas of tension or imbalance
• Observing how movement changes under load

This helps create a clearer picture of what may be contributing.

Depending on your needs, care may include a combination of approaches.

This may involve:

• Chiropractic adjustments
• Movement-based support
• Soft tissue techniques
• Posture and alignment strategies

Each approach is selected based on what is relevant to your situation.

It may be helpful to have your knee assessed if you are experiencing:

• Pain with movement or activity
• Ongoing stiffness or limitation
• Symptoms that are not improving
• Discomfort that is affecting daily function

An assessment can help identify how the knee is functioning and whether any areas need further attention.

Your visit will focus on understanding what you are experiencing and what is showing up during assessment.

This may include:

• Reviewing your symptoms
• Assessing movement and alignment
• Discussing options for care

We will walk you through what we find and your options so you can decide what feels right for you.
