What Is the Best Chiropractic Treatment for Knee Pain?

Knee pain is one of the most common musculoskeletal complaints we see at The Fix Chiropractic. Whether it stems from an old sports injury, arthritis, overuse, or everyday wear and tear, knee pain can limit your mobility, affect your workouts, and make even simple activities uncomfortable. The good news is that chiropractic care offers effective, non-invasive solutions for knee pain.

Understanding the Root Cause of Knee Pain

The knee is a complex joint that relies on proper alignment, muscle balance, and joint mobility. Pain often develops when:

• The knee joint is misaligned or restricted

• The hips, ankles, or spine are not moving properly

• Muscles surrounding the knee are weak or overactive

• Old injuries were never fully rehabilitated

• Degenerative changes such as arthritis reduce joint cushioning

Because the knee does not function in isolation, treating knee pain successfully means looking at the entire kinetic chain - from the feet and ankles to the hips and lower back.

Chiropractic Adjustments for Knee Pain

One of the most effective chiropractic treatments for knee pain is targeted joint adjustments. These gentle, precise movements help restore proper motion to the knee joint and surrounding structures.

How Chiropractic Adjustments Help

• Improve joint mobility and alignment

• Reduce inflammation and joint stress

• Improve nerve communication to muscles and tissues

• Decrease pain and stiffness

Chiropractors don’t just adjust the knee itself. Often, the real issue lies in the hips, pelvis, or lower spine. When these areas are misaligned or restricted, the knee is forced to compensate, leading to pain over time. Correcting these imbalances is essential for long-term relief.

Corrective Exercises and Rehabilitation

Corrective exercises play a critical role in recovery and prevention. At The Fix Chiropractic, we often prescribe customized exercises designed to:

• Strengthen supporting muscles

• Improve flexibility and range of motion

• Enhance balance and coordination

• Prevent future injuries

These exercises target not only the knee, but also the hips, core, and ankles to ensure proper movement mechanics during daily activities and athletic performance.

SoftWave Therapy: A Powerful Addition for Knee Pain Relief

One of the most advanced and effective treatments we offer for knee pain is SoftWave Therapy. SoftWave Therapy delivers high-energy sound waves to injured tissues, triggering cellular regeneration and increased blood flow. This helps repair damaged soft tissue and reduces inflammation at the source.

Benefits of SoftWave Therapy for Knee Pain

• Accelerates healing without injections or surgery

• Reduces chronic inflammation

• Stimulates tissue regeneration

• Improves mobility and function

• Effective for arthritis, tendon injuries, ligament damage, and overuse conditions

SoftWave Therapy is especially beneficial for patients with chronic knee pain who have tried other treatments with limited success. When combined with chiropractic adjustments and rehab exercises, it creates a powerful, comprehensive treatment plan.
