Knee Pain & Injury: Natural Relief and Long-Term Healing
Knee pain is one of the most common reasons people seek help from healthcare professionals. Whether it’s a sharp pain when walking, stiffness after sitting, or discomfort during exercise, knee problems can seriously affect your mobility and quality of life.
At Complete Balance Chiropractic, we help patients find lasting relief from knee pain through natural, non-invasive chiropractic care designed to restore function and reduce inflammation at the source.
While knee issues are often associated with athletes or aging, they can affect anyone — from weekend warriors to desk workers. The key is identifying the root cause of your pain and creating a personalized plan for healing and prevention.
What Causes Knee Pain?
The knee is a powerful yet vulnerable joint. It absorbs tremendous stress every day, making it prone to both wear-and-tear injuries and acute trauma. Some of the most common causes of knee pain include:
Overuse or repetitive stress
Improper movement patterns or poor posture
Muscle imbalances in the hips or legs
Previous injuries that never fully healed
Ligament sprains or meniscus tears
Tendonitis or inflammation in soft tissues
Arthritis or degenerative joint disease
Often, pain in the knee isn't caused by the knee alone. Misalignment in the spine, hips, or feet can put abnormal pressure on the knees, leading to chronic strain and eventual injury. That’s why chiropractic care — which looks at the body as a whole — can be so effective in both treatment and prevention.
Types of Knee Injuries We Treat
Our clinic works with a wide range of knee-related conditions. Some patients come in with sports injuries, while others are recovering from surgeries or just looking for an alternative to injections or medication. Here are some of the knee issues we commonly address:
Sprains and strains – caused by twisting, overextension, or impact
Patellar tracking disorders – where the kneecap doesn’t move properly
Meniscus injuries – including small tears that lead to stiffness or locking
Runner’s knee – pain caused by overuse or alignment issues
Osteoarthritis – gradual breakdown of cartilage over time
Tendonitis – inflammation in tendons, especially under or around the kneecap
Bursitis – swelling in the fluid-filled sacs that cushion the knee joint
Post-surgical rehab – helping the body heal and regain proper movement
If you're unsure what’s causing your pain, don’t worry. Our comprehensive evaluation process is designed to identify the issue and guide your treatment step by step.
What to Expect at Your Visit
When you visit our clinic for knee pain, the first step is a detailed assessment. We’ll start with a conversation about your symptoms, when they began, and what seems to aggravate or relieve them. From there, we’ll perform a physical examination that may include checking joint mobility, muscle strength, range of motion, and spinal alignment.
Depending on your condition, we may also assess related areas such as your hips, pelvis, and ankles — since dysfunction in these regions often contributes to knee problems.
Once we understand what’s causing your pain, we’ll develop a treatment plan designed to:
Reduce inflammation and irritation
Improve joint alignment and mobility
Support tissue healing and stability
Restore confidence in movement
Most importantly, we’ll help you understand your condition and empower you to take an active role in your recovery.
Many patients who visit us have already tried the conventional route: pain pills, cortisone shots, or even surgery. While those approaches can be necessary in certain cases, they often overlook the root cause of the problem.
Chiropractic care focuses on function — not just pain. By correcting biomechanical issues and optimizing how your body moves, we help you create a foundation for sustainable healing. Plus, our methods are drug-free, non-invasive, and aimed at supporting the body’s natural recovery process.
You don’t have to live with knee pain. Whether you’ve been dealing with an old injury or something new is slowing you down, we’re ready to help. At Complete Balance Chiropractic, our experienced team will work with you to reduce pain, restore mobility, and support a full recovery — without unnecessary medications or surgeries.

faq - frequently asked questions
What Does a Chiropractor Do?
A chiropractor is a licensed healthcare professional who specializes in diagnosing and treating disorders of the musculoskeletal system, especially issues involving the spine. Through hands-on spinal adjustments and other techniques, chiropractors work to relieve pain, improve mobility, correct alignment issues, and help the body function at its best without the use of drugs or surgery.
Is a Chiropractor Safe?
Yes, chiropractic care is considered very safe when performed by a licensed and trained professional. Adjustments are non-invasive and tailored to each patient’s needs. Most people experience immediate relief or a noticeable improvement, though mild soreness may occur after treatment, similar to the feeling after a workout. Chiropractors also screen patients thoroughly to make sure care is appropriate and safe for their condition.
Do I Need a Referral to see a Chiropractor?
No referral is needed. You can schedule an appointment with us directly. Chiropractors are considered primary care providers for musculoskeletal issues, which means you can come to us without seeing another doctor first. However, if you’re using insurance, some plans may require a referral—our team can help you check your benefits.
What Conditions Can a Chiropractor Treat?
Chiropractors treat a wide range of conditions related to the spine, joints, and nervous system. This includes common issues like lower back pain, neck pain, sciatica, headaches, migraines, whiplash, sports injuries, poor posture, and joint stiffness. We also provide wellness care to help maintain spinal health and prevent future issues.
How Many Sessions Will I Need?
Every patient is different, so the number of sessions depends on your condition, how long you've had it, and your personal goals. Some patients find relief after just one or two visits, while others benefit from ongoing care. After a full assessment, we’ll recommend a personalized treatment plan that fits your lifestyle and recovery timeline.
