Knee pain is a common musculoskeletal problem that affects people of all ages and genders. A myriad of reasons can cause people to suffer from knee pains. The reasons can be due to mechanical issues, injuries, and arthritis.
The knee joint is vulnerable in many ways (e.g. age, obesity, family history, knee injury and overuse), which could cause knee pain over time. However, there are many ways to treat knee pain: chiropractic treatment for knee pain and chiropractic adjustment for the knee. Our certified chiropractors will be able to advise you on the exercises and stretches you can do to reduce pain in the knee areas after your knee alignment and treatments.

Among all forms of arthritis, osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common knee complaint, which accounts for around 95%. OA is typically the result of wear and tear that causes progressive loss or thinning of cartilage at the knee joint. Knee OA is no longer restricted to the elderly but also young adults active in sports. For young adults who have knee injuries, there is also a higher chance of developing arthritis.
Falls, awkward movement, direct blows to the knee, sudden twists or changes in direction, or excessive force and overuse of the knee during sports can result in a range of injuries to the knee joint and the structures surrounding it, such as the ligaments and tendons.
Intense exercise, running, prolonged squatting, and climbing steps can all put additional stress on our knees. It also applies to occupations involving prolonged standing, sitting, or excessive heavy lifting and sports involving high-impact pounding on the joint. As a result, the muscles and the joints will be constantly activated to do their jobs, leading to weakness and pain. It may also be related to biomechanical abnormalities ranging from hip and foot disorders.
When it comes to our knees, it is essential to have our muscles, ligaments, and joints to be correctly aligned. Improper or poor posture, such as sitting with our legs crossed or bent underneath us, will put extra pressure on our kneecaps, leading to discomfort and pain.
Identifying postural imbalances to detect any differences in weight between the right and the left sides of the body, alignment from our head all the way down
to our hips. Tyron thermographic spinal scan helps to measure the muscle temperature around the spine. It detects areas with the greater temperature where muscles are working harder due to poor posture.
1-on-1 consultation with our Chiropractors with a detailed review of your health history.
Our Chiropractor will investigate and educate you on the necessary steps forward in reaching your health goals.
Our Chiropractors will perform a series of range of motion tests to determine your current body condition and an adjustment will be administered if deemed
clinically safe to do so.
Our Chiropractors will use their hands or a small instrument to apply a controlled force to the spinal joints. “Crack” or “Pop” sound may occur as your spine gets manipulated. Do not be alarmed, as the adjustment releases trapped gasses from your joints.
X-Rays will be prescribed so that we can accurately diagnose your condition before prescribing a customized treatment program. It is also for your safety and for us to rule out any possible underlying conditions that cannot be treated by Chiropractic.
The review of your X-rays is complimentary at your following visit if you take up the X-rays with our preferred diagnostic partners.
