Knee pain is an extremely common complaint that can stem from injuries, mechanical problems, arthritis, or even spinal misalignments that alter your gait and put uneven stress on the knee joint. Chiropractic care takes a whole-body approach to knee pain, addressing not just the knee but the biomechanical chain from the spine through the hips and legs.
How We Treat Knee Pain at Victory Health Center
Many knee pain sufferers are surprised to learn that their knee problem may be connected to their spine, hips, or feet. At Victory Health Center, we evaluate the entire biomechanical chain to understand why your knee is under stress. This comprehensive approach often reveals contributing factors that other practitioners miss.
What Causes Knee Pain?
- Spinal or pelvic misalignment affecting gait
- Ligament injuries (ACL, MCL tears)
- Meniscus tears
- Osteoarthritis and wear-related degeneration
- Patellofemoral syndrome (runner's knee)
- IT band syndrome
- Muscle imbalances in the legs and hips
Common Symptoms
- Pain and swelling in or around the knee
- Stiffness and difficulty bending or straightening
- Popping, clicking, or locking sensations
- Instability or giving way during activity
- Pain when climbing stairs, squatting, or kneeling
- Pain that worsens with activity and improves with rest
Our Treatment Approach
Our knee pain treatment begins with a biomechanical evaluation of your spine, pelvis, hips, and lower extremities. We look for misalignments, muscle imbalances, and gait abnormalities that may be contributing to your knee stress. Treatment may include spinal and pelvic adjustments, extremity adjustments to the knee, ankle, and foot, and targeted rehabilitation exercises to restore proper biomechanics. By addressing the root cause of the abnormal stress on your knee, we achieve more lasting results.
