WHAT CAUSES KNEE PAIN?
Knee pain can stem from direct joint problems—or be a downstream effect of issues in your hips, pelvis, or spine. Structural imbalances above the knee can change how your weight loads through the joint, leading to inflammation, stress, and discomfort over time.
Using the Gonstead method, we analyze your full movement chain to identify what’s really causing your knee pain—and correct it at the source.
COMMON CAUSES OF KNEE PAIN:
- Pelvic or hip misalignment throwing off leg mechanics
- Spinal imbalance affecting lower body function, Back pain issues
- Patellar tracking issues or overuse injuries
- Old sports injuries or repetitive strain
- Uneven leg length or gait issues
- Muscle tension or imbalance in the thighs or calves
- Joint inflammation from arthritis or degeneration

I thought I needed a knee brace for life, but they found my pelvis was misaligned—and fixing that took all the pressure off my knee.”

FAQs:
Q: Can chiropractic help if I’ve had an old knee injury?
A: Yes. Old injuries often cause long-term movement compensations. We assess the entire system to help relieve recurring stress and restore balance.
Q: My knee only hurts when walking—why?
A: It could be a sign of poor tracking, hip imbalance, or spinal misalignment. We’ll pinpoint the issue through a detailed evaluation.
Q: Do you adjust knees directly?
A: Sometimes. If the knee joint itself is misaligned, gentle manual adjustments may be used—only when clinically appropriate.
Q: Is this better than using a brace or medication?
A: Our goal is long-term relief by fixing the root cause—not just masking pain. Chiropractic care restores function without dependency on external aids.
