Conditions We Treat

Knee Pain

Knee pain can come from the kneecap, tendons, meniscus, ligaments or arthritis, and is often driven by how the hip and foot control the knee. We treat the knee and the whole leg so squatting, stairs and running feel good again.

What Is Knee Pain?

The knee sits between the hip and the foot, so it often takes extra load when those areas don't move or control well. Common problems include patellofemoral pain, tendon irritation, meniscus irritation and arthritis.

Common Symptoms

  • Pain around or behind the kneecap
  • Pain with stairs, squatting or kneeling
  • Swelling or stiffness
  • Clicking or catching
  • Giving way

Common Contributing Factors

  • Weak hips and quads
  • Foot mechanics
  • Sudden increases in running or training
  • Previous injuries
  • Arthritis

When to Seek Medical Care Right Away

Seek prompt medical care for a knee that locks, can't bear weight, or swells rapidly after injury.

How We Approach Knee Pain

We listen to your goals, then assess how your hip, knee and foot work together in squats, step-downs and single-leg tasks. Care calms irritation, corrects movement patterns and builds strength progressively.

  • Restoring the movements you use every day. We retrain squatting, climbing stairs, kneeling, getting up from the floor and running, so progress shows up in your real life, not just on the treatment table.
  • Constant core activation. Core and hip control that keeps the knee aligned under load.
  • Proper functional movement patterns. We coach how you hinge, squat, push, pull, carry, step and rotate, so load is shared across the whole body instead of piling up in one area.
  • Proper respiratory mechanics. Breathing and bracing during strength work.
  • Looking past the symptoms. Especially with severe or long-standing problems, we take the time to consider every potential cause, including hip strength, foot mechanics, footwear and training load.
  • A plan built for you. Nobody is built the same or has been through the same things, so no two treatment plans are alike. Your plan is shaped around your history, your goals and how you respond.

How Our Services Help

Chiropractic Care

Frequently Asked Questions

Is squatting bad for my knees?

Squatting with good control usually strengthens the knee. We'll find the right depth and load for you.

Do I need a knee brace?

Sometimes, short-term. Strength and control are the long-term solution.

Can you help after a meniscus injury?

Many meniscus irritations respond well to rehab; we'll refer for imaging if needed.

Do I need a referral, and do you take insurance?

No referral is needed. We accept health insurance as an out-of-network provider, as well as auto insurance claims and workers’ compensation claims, and every service can also be paid directly or through a monthly membership. Call (303) 465-6332 or request a free consultation to get started.
