About Knee Pain
The knee is a complex joint which relies heavily on its surrounding muscles and ligaments for stability and strength.
The knee is one of the joints most commonly affected by osteoarthritis. Cartilage in the knee may degenerate after sustained stress (such as stress from mis-aligned joints or injuries) resulting in the bones of the knee rubbing against each other and subsequently resulting in osteoarthritis.
Our Approach to Knee Pain
As it is a load-bearing joint, it is vital to ensure that you are walking correctly, and that the feet, ankles, hips, pelvis and lower back are not the cause of the knee pain.
To this end, a thorough consultation and examination with a Chiropractor is essential to ascertain a correct diagnosis so a bespoke care plan can be formulated. Care focuses on reducing the inflammation and swelling present in the initial phases, followed by massage, mobilisation, adjustments, and rehabilitative techniques to ensure the best outcome for your condition.

Relief Care
Our first goal is to relieve your symptoms as quickly as possible. The severity of your condition will determine the length of this phase. Typically, the number of visits in this phase is frequent and can involve multiple visits to the centre each week.
Rehabilitative / strengthen and corrective phase
During this phase of care, the goal is to remove the root cause of your problem and to restore optimal function. This phase of care is also dependent upon the severity of the problem. The frequency of care can still be multiple visits per week, but unlikely to be as frequent as the relief phase of care.
Wellness Care
Once your body has had the chance to heal, we believe it is important to continue with wellness care by having periodic adjustments to help prevent future problems and enable your body to continue to function at its most optimal level. Your lifestyle, health goals and practitioner’s advice will determine the frequency of care for you.
Frequently Asked Questions
What causes knee pain?
Knee pain can be caused by injuries to the ligaments or cartilage, arthritis, infections, and inflammatory diseases. It can be caused by a problem from within the knee itself or by problems in other areas such as the toes, feet, ankles, hips, or lower back.
Can knee pain be treated?
Depending upon the cause of the pain, knee pain can be treated.
We also have a state-of-the-art TOG gait scan system (a computer system which records timing sequences as you walk across a pressure plate with over 4000 sensors) to help us assess if wearing a bespoke orthotic (insole) in your shoes would help your knee pain.
Who gets knee pain?
Inflammation and referred pain can occur at any age. The most common cause of knee pain in adults is osteoarthritis. People who run a lot, or play sports, can suffer from iliotibial band syndrome or chondromalacia patella. Osgood-Schlatter’s disease occurs most often in growing adolescents.
What can I do to help prevent knee pain?
Try to maintain a healthy weight, warm up and cool down whilst exercising, and regularly stretch the muscles in your legs and thighs. Having a strong core is always beneficial and look to improve your balance. Ask us to assess your posture as misalignments can adversely affect the knees.
