Knee Pain

Do you experience pain in your knees when you walk, kneel on the ground, squat or go up and down stairs?

Chiropractic care can be very beneficial for treating knee pain. Problems involving the knee joint are seen in every population and can benefit greatly from chiropractic care. In many situations the knee pain is stemming from somewhere along the kinetic chain, usually the hip or ankle joints, and sometimes the lumbar spine. A thorough clinical examination is imperative to determine if the source of your pain is coming from the knee structures itself or if another area of the body is referring pain to the knee. That is why the location of your knee pain can be very helpful in determining the source of your pain and the possible structures involved.

Dr. Newman knows from her own personal experience how debilitating knee pain can be, especially if it affects your ability to walk, go up and down stairs, kneel on the ground, sit for long periods of time, or impact your ability to perform your daily activities. If you experience pain doing any of the activities listed above, book an appointment with Dr. Newman, uses a variety of soft tissue techniques, mobilizations, and is a big advocate of using exercise to help improve strength, stability and mobility of the hip, knee, and ankle to give her patients the best possible recovery outcome.
