Knee Pain
Understanding knee pain
The knee carries a lot of load every time you walk, climb stairs or stand up. Over time, wear and tear, old injuries or extra weight can lead to pain, stiffness and swelling.
Knee pain can come from the joint itself, from the tendons and ligaments around it, or from how your hips, feet and spine move together.
Our team evaluates the whole chain of movement to understand what may be adding stress to your knee and to recommend non-surgical options.
Common symptoms
- Pain when walking, climbing stairs or kneeling
- Stiffness, especially in the morning
- Swelling around the knee
- Clicking, grinding or popping
- A feeling that the knee is weak or unstable
- Trouble fully bending or straightening the leg
Common causes
- Osteoarthritis and age-related wear
- Sports injuries and overuse
- Tendon irritation (tendinopathy)
- Extra body weight
- Poor hip or foot mechanics
- Falls and car accidents
How we may help
How our non-surgical care may help
- Shockwave therapy may help stimulate blood flow and support healing in stubborn tendon and joint pain
- Laser therapy may help reduce inflammation and improve circulation
- Rehab exercises can help strengthen the muscles that support the knee
- Chiropractic care may help improve hip, pelvis and spine mechanics that affect the knee
- When appropriate, regenerative medicine options such as hyaluronic acid or PRP injections may be discussed
When to seek urgent care
- • Seek emergency care if you cannot put weight on the leg after an injury.
- • Seek emergency care if the knee looks deformed or you heard a loud pop with sudden swelling.
- • Seek emergency care if the knee is hot, red and swollen and you have a fever.
- • Seek emergency care if your calf is swollen, warm and painful.
If this is a medical emergency, call 911.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Yes, our clinic treats more than the spine. After an evaluation, knee care may include shockwave and laser therapy, rehab exercises and work on the hips and spine that affect how your knee moves. Results vary.
