Chiropractic for Knee Pain: Joint Mechanics, Alignment, and Relief
Knee pain can bring life to a halt — whether you're walking, climbing stairs, running, or even just getting out of a chair. And while the knee may be where you feel the pain, it’s often not where the problem starts.
Chiropractic care focuses on the entire kinetic chain — from the hips and pelvis to the ankles and feet — to find the root cause of knee dysfunction and provide lasting, drug-free relief.
🦵 Why Does Your Knee Hurt?
The knee is a hinge joint that depends on proper alignment and movement from the hips, pelvis, feet, and spine. When one part is out of balance, the knee often takes the stress.
Common causes of knee pain include:
Misalignment of the pelvis or hips
Poor biomechanics or gait
Muscle imbalance (e.g., tight quads or weak glutes)
Flat feet or poor arch support
Previous injury or surgery compensation
Osteoarthritis or cartilage wear
Runner’s knee or patellar tracking disorder
🔍 How Chiropractors Evaluate Knee Pain
When you come in with knee pain, a chiropractor looks beyond the joint itself to understand what’s really going on. We assess:
Pelvic and spinal alignment
Leg length discrepancy
Muscle tone and joint movement in the hips and ankles
Knee tracking and stability
Gait analysis and foot posture
Past injuries or overuse patterns
We don’t just want to know where it hurts — we want to know why.
✅ Chiropractic Treatment for Knee Pain
Once we’ve pinpointed the underlying dysfunction, treatment is customized to restore proper movement and reduce stress on the knee.
Care may include:
Pelvic and spinal adjustments to align the foundation
Knee joint mobilization for stiffness or imbalance
Myofascial release for tight quads, IT band, or calves
Foot and ankle adjustments
Corrective exercises to strengthen supporting muscles
Gait and orthotic evaluation if needed
This holistic approach not only helps relieve current knee pain, but also prevents future issues by improving the way your body moves as a whole.
