What We Do
We are committed to delivering comprehensive chiropractic care for various musculoskeletal conditions, with a particular focus on knee pain. Our approach is based on the philosophy that the body’s natural alignment is key to overall health. Knee pain often stems from imbalances in other areas of the body, such as the hips, pelvis, spine or ankles, and our treatments are designed to address these underlying issues to promote full recovery.
Our team of experienced chiropractors uses a combination of spinal adjustments, joint manipulation, laser therapy, non-surgical decompression and rehabilitative exercises to restore balance to the body. We believe in treating the whole person rather than simply addressing the symptoms. Whether your knee pain is caused by arthritis, injury, or mechanical misalignments, we work to identify and treat the root cause of the problem.
Chiropractic care offers an effective alternative to more invasive treatments like surgery or long-term medication use. By focusing on natural, drug-free solutions, we promote the body’s inherent ability to heal itself, ensuring that you not only experience immediate pain relief but also enjoy lasting results.
How We Can Help
We understand that knee pain can result from a variety of conditions. For this reason, we perform a thorough assessment at your first visit to determine the exact source of your pain. This may include a physical examination, a review of your medical history, and, if necessary, diagnostic imaging. Once the underlying cause of your knee pain is identified, we create a personalized treatment plan designed to address your specific condition and long-term health goals.
Chiropractic Adjustments for Knee Pain
One of the most important aspects of treating knee pain through chiropractic care is addressing the alignment of the spine, pelvis, and hips. Misalignments in these areas can create imbalances in how weight is distributed across the joints, leading to excess pressure on the knees. By correcting these misalignments with gentle spinal adjustments, we can reduce the strain on the knee joints and help alleviate pain.
Knee pain often worsens due to improper biomechanics, which may involve issues in other parts of the body, such as the ankles, hips, or lower back. Chiropractic adjustments help restore proper alignment and posture, reducing inflammation and allowing for improved movement and function. This is particularly effective in treating conditions like osteoarthritis, tendinitis, and bursitis.
Joint Mobilization for Knee Pain
In addition to spinal adjustments, we use joint mobilization techniques to improve the mobility and function of the knee joint itself. For patients suffering from conditions like osteoarthritis or patellar tendinitis, these techniques can help restore flexibility, improve range of motion, and promote healing. By gently manipulating the knee joint, we can encourage the flow of synovial fluid, which helps lubricate the joint and reduce stiffness.
Joint mobilization is also beneficial for patients recovering from knee injuries, such as ligament tears or sprains, as it helps prevent the buildup of scar tissue and promotes faster recovery. Our chiropractors work with each patient to ensure that the treatments are tailored to their specific condition and needs.
Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression for Knee Support
During your examination, our chiropractor will determine where the root cause of your knee pain comes from. The nerves that control and supply the knee come directly from your low back. If it is determined on your exam that your low back is in fact the cause of your knee pain, our decompression tables will be a vital part of your healing process. This table provides a gentle pull on the low back, creating separation of the vertebra, which will alleviate the pressure on those nerves that stimulate knee function. When this nerve pressure is alleviated, the healing process will be stimulated, allowing you to start doing the things you love again!
Cold/Low Level Laser Therapy Knee Pain
Tightness or inflammation in the muscles and tendons around the knee joint can contribute to pain and restricted movement. Laser therapy is an important component of our knee pain treatment approach. This instrument creates an influx of ATP (cellular energy) into the damaged tissues, reducing inflammation, and promoting blood flow to the affected area.
Low-level laser therapy is particularly effective in treating overuse injuries such as patellar tendinitis (jumper’s knee) and iliotibial (IT) band syndrome, as well as muscle strains and ligament injuries. By releasing cellular energy into the surrounding muscles and soft tissues, we help relieve pressure on the knee joint and support the body’s natural healing process.

Frequently Asked Questions
Chiropractic care can be an effective treatment for knee pain, as it focuses on correcting misalignments and restoring proper joint function. Many cases of knee pain are linked to issues in other parts of the body, such as the hips or lower back. A chiropractor will assess the entire musculoskeletal system to identify any misalignments that could be contributing to your knee pain. By making precise adjustments to the spine, hips, and knees, chiropractic care helps reduce inflammation, improve mobility, and alleviate pain. Chiropractic treatment can also promote the body’s natural healing process, leading to long-term relief without the need for invasive surgery or medication.
Chiropractic care can help treat several conditions that cause knee pain, including osteoarthritis, patellar tendinitis, ligament injuries (such as ACL or MCL tears), bursitis, and meniscus injuries. Osteoarthritis, for instance, leads to the breakdown of cartilage in the knee, causing pain and stiffness. Chiropractic adjustments can improve joint function and reduce pressure on the knees, helping manage osteoarthritis symptoms. Additionally, chiropractic care can address misalignments in the hips or pelvis, which often contribute to knee pain. By improving the overall alignment of the body, chiropractic care can relieve stress on the knee joints, reduce inflammation, and promote faster recovery.
Yes, chiropractic care is generally considered a safe and non-invasive treatment for knee pain. Chiropractors use gentle, targeted techniques to adjust the spine, hips, and knees, focusing on improving alignment and relieving pressure on the joints. Unlike surgery or long-term medication use, chiropractic care provides a natural alternative with minimal risks or side effects. Many patients experience significant pain relief and improved mobility during the initial phase of their care plan. However, it’s important to consult with a chiropractor to determine if this treatment is appropriate for your specific knee condition, especially if you have a history of severe joint damage or other underlying medical issues.
The length of time it takes to see results from chiropractic care for knee pain varies depending on the underlying cause of the pain and the severity of the condition. Many patients begin to notice improvements in pain and mobility during the initial phase of their care plan. For acute knee injuries, such as sprains or strains, relief may come relatively quickly. However, chronic conditions like osteoarthritis may require more extended care over several months to manage symptoms effectively and achieve long-term relief. During your initial consultation, the chiropractor will provide a personalized treatment plan and give you an estimate of how many sessions you may need.
Yes, chiropractic care can help prevent future knee pain by addressing the root cause of the problem and promoting overall joint health. By maintaining proper alignment of the spine, hips, and knees, chiropractic adjustments reduce the stress placed on your knee joints, decreasing the likelihood of injury or degeneration. Chiropractors also often recommend corrective exercises and stretches to strengthen the muscles surrounding the knee and improve flexibility. This proactive approach helps stabilize the knee joint, reduce the risk of future injuries, and maintain long-term joint health.
During your first chiropractic appointment for knee pain, the chiropractor will perform a comprehensive evaluation to determine the source of your pain. This will include a review of your medical history, a physical examination, and possibly imaging tests like X-rays to get a clear picture of your knee and surrounding joints. Based on this assessment, the chiropractor will develop a personalized treatment plan tailored to your specific condition. This plan may include spinal adjustments, knee joint mobilization, laser therapy, decompression, and corrective exercises to strengthen the muscles supporting your knee. The goal is to provide immediate pain relief while promoting long-term healing and improved joint function.
