Knee Pain

Knee pain affects people of all ages and lifestyles, but two of the most common causes are meniscus injuries and arthritis. Whether from a sudden twist during sports or wear and tear over time, the knee joint is vulnerable to damage that can gradually impact your ability to move comfortably and confidently.

The meniscus is a rubbery piece of cartilage that cushions the knee joint. A torn meniscus—often caused by sports or awkward movements—can lead to pain, swelling, stiffness, and a locked or unstable feeling in the knee. On the other hand, arthritis, especially osteoarthritis, is a degenerative condition that breaks down the protective cartilage over time, resulting in chronic inflammation, grinding sensations, and reduced range of motion.

Chiropractic Care for Knee Pain

Chiropractic care offers a conservative, non-invasive approach to managing both meniscus and arthritis-related knee pain. Chiropractors perform thorough assessments to pinpoint the source of pain and tailor treatments to improve joint alignment, reduce inflammation, and support surrounding muscles. Techniques may include joint mobilization, soft tissue therapy, rehabilitative exercises, and lifestyle guidance.

Early care is essential—especially with arthritis, where slowing joint degeneration can make a major difference in long-term mobility. Whether you're recovering from a meniscus injury or managing arthritic changes, chiropractic care can help reduce pain, improve function, and support a more active lifestyle without relying solely on medication or surgery.
