Manage Joint Wear-and-Tear and Reclaim Pain-Free Mobility
Your knee is a complex, weight-bearing joint that absorbs incredible impact with every step you take on city pavement. Chronic knee pain is an increasingly common issue, frequently presenting as a dull ache beneath the kneecap or stiffness during damp weather. At New Roots Chiropractic, we treat a wide variety of knee conditions, ranging from repetitive strain injuries to chronic osteoarthritis and everyday wear-and-tear.
A Holistic Approach to Knee Joint Health
We evaluate your entire leg structure to ensure your knee joint is tracked and balanced properly:
- Patellofemoral Tracking Correction: Realigning the kneecap to prevent it from rubbing painfully against the thigh bone.
- Manual Joint Mobilization: Gentle adjustments to the knee, hip, and foot joints to restore natural, fluid movement.
- Soft Tissue Decompression: Utilizing cupping and myofascial release to relax tight thigh muscles (quadriceps and hamstrings) that place heavy structural pressure on your knee.
Common Knee Conditions We Successfully Resolve
- Osteoarthritis and age-related joint stiffness
- Patellar tendonitis (Jumper’s Knee)
- Iliotibial (IT) Band friction issues
- General knee fatigue and restricted squatting range
Frequently Asked Questions
Can a chiropractor really help with knee arthritis?
Yes. While we cannot reverse structural cartilage loss, gentle joint adjustments and targeted soft tissue care reduce inflammation, improve joint fluid flow, and significantly minimize arthritis pain.
Why does my lower back problem seem to cause knee pain?
The nerves that feed your knee muscles originate in your lower back. Structural changes in your lumbar spine can irritate these nerves, causing muscle weakness and altered joint tracking in your knee.
