Common Causes of Knee Pain

  • Normal wear and tear on the joint
  • Osteoarthritis
  • Ligament sprains and meniscus irritation
  • Tendonitis and overuse injuries
  • Runner’s knee (patellofemoral pain)
  • IT band tightness
  • Poor alignment in the hips, feet, or ankles
  • Weak hip and thigh muscles
  • Sports injuries and falls

Symptoms Associated With Knee Pain

Knee pain may be accompanied by swelling, stiffness, clicking or popping, instability, reduced range of motion, or difficulty bearing weight. Pain may worsen with stairs, squatting, kneeling, or prolonged sitting.

How the Hips and Feet Affect Your Knees

The knee sits between the hip and ankle, so problems above or below it can place extra stress on the joint. Weak hip muscles, flat feet, or restricted ankle motion can change how forces travel through the knee. That is why our evaluation looks at your entire lower body, not only the painful area.

How We Treat Knee Pain

Your care plan may include:

Athletes may also benefit from our sports medicine services, and patients with chronic knee pain from our pain management approach.

Protecting Your Knees

Maintaining a healthy weight, strengthening the muscles around the hips and knees, wearing supportive footwear, and warming up before exercise can help reduce stress on your knees.

When to Seek Immediate Care

Seek prompt medical attention if you cannot bear weight, notice obvious deformity, have severe swelling after an injury, or have a hot, red, painful knee with fever.

Knee Pain FAQs

Can a chiropractor help with knee pain?

Yes. Chiropractors can treat the knee and the surrounding joints and muscles, using adjustments, soft-tissue therapy, and exercise to reduce pain and improve movement.

Can chiropractic care help knee osteoarthritis?

Conservative care may help reduce osteoarthritis symptoms and support better function through improved mobility, strengthening, and activity guidance.

Why do my knees hurt when I climb stairs?

Pain on stairs is often related to stress on the kneecap joint, weak thigh or hip muscles, or joint irritation. An evaluation can identify the cause.

Can hip or foot problems cause knee pain?

Yes. Weak hips, flat feet, or restricted ankle movement can change how forces travel through the knee and contribute to pain.

Should I rest or exercise with knee pain?

It depends on the cause. Some rest may be needed after injury, but appropriate exercise is often important for recovery. Your chiropractor will guide you.

When is knee pain serious?

Seek medical care if you cannot bear weight, have severe swelling, notice deformity, or have a red, hot knee with fever.
