What Is Knee Pain?

The knee is a weight-bearing hinge joint, which makes it especially vulnerable to arthritis, cartilage wear, and soft tissue injury. Reducing pressure on the joint is often the fastest way to reduce pain.

Common Causes

  • Osteoarthritis and general joint wear
  • Overuse from running, sports, or physical work
  • Soft tissue or ligament injury
  • Excess pressure on the joint from alignment issues

Common Symptoms

  • Aching or sharp pain with movement or stairs
  • Swelling or stiffness around the knee
  • A grinding or catching sensation in the joint
  • Reduced range of motion

How We Treat It

Knee decompression therapy is our primary tool for knee pain — it takes pressure off the joint to reduce pain and support cartilage health without surgery. We'll often add rehab exercises to strengthen the muscles that support the knee.

When To See a Chiropractor

If knee pain is affecting your daily life — work, sleep, exercise, or time with family — it's worth getting evaluated. We offer a free consultation so you can get an honest answer about whether we're the right fit, with no pressure and no commitment.
