How You Can Find Natural Knee Pain Relief in at Church Road Chiropractic
When your knees hurt, every step can be a challenge. Whether you’re dealing with a sharp pain while climbing stairs or a constant ache that keeps you from staying active, knee pain can significantly impact your quality of life. At Church Road Chiropractic, we understand that knee pain often involves more than just the knee itself – it’s connected to how your entire body moves and functions.
Understanding Knee Pain and Its Many Causes
Your knee is one of your body’s most complex joints, bearing the weight of your daily activities while allowing for intricate movements. Common causes of knee pain include:
- Sports injuries and trauma
- Overuse from repetitive movements
- Osteoarthritis and joint degeneration
- Runner's knee (patellofemoral pain syndrome)
- Tendinitis and bursitis
- Ligament sprains and meniscus tears
- Misalignment issues affecting gait
The Spine-Knee Connection: Why Alignment Matters
What many people don’t realize is that knee problems often start with issues elsewhere in the body. Your spine’s alignment directly affects your pelvis, which in turn influences how you walk and distribute weight through your knees. When your spine isn’t properly aligned, it can create:
- Uneven hip positioning that stresses one knee more than the other
- Altered walking patterns that put extra pressure on your knees
- Muscle imbalances affecting knee stability
- Nerve interference that impacts muscle function around the knee
Advanced Knee Pain Treatment at Church Road Chiropractic
Our approach to treating knee pain goes beyond just focusing on the knee joint itself. We begin with a comprehensive examination to understand how your entire body moves and functions.
This includes:
Postural and gait analysis and a hands-on evaluation of your spine and pelvis, as well as your knee. We may also get scans, x-rays, or images to see more in detail what’s happening under the surface.
Based on our findings, we create a personalised treatment plan that may include:
- Gentle spinal adjustments to improve overall alignment
- Specific knee adjustment techniques
We may also recommend:
- Soft tissue therapy for surrounding muscles
- Gait training and posture correction
- Kinesiology taping for support
- Exercises to strengthen supporting muscles
