Injury: Sports-related injuries, falls, or accidents can damage the knee joint, ligaments, or cartilage.
Overuse: Repetitive stress from running, squatting, or lifting heavy objects can strain the knee joint.

How Chiropractic Care Can Help

At Heritage Clinic of Chiropractic, Dr. Gabby and Dr. Steven take a comprehensive approach to addressing knee pain using chiropractic care and trigger point therapy:

Assessment and Diagnosis

The first step in finding relief for your knee pain is a thorough evaluation of the knee’s structure and function to identify the root cause of the discomfort. This includes examining the spine’s alignment and assessing muscle imbalances that could contribute to knee issues.

Chiropractic Adjustments

Gentle adjustments to the spine and other affected areas can improve joint mobility, reduce inflammation, and alleviate pressure on the knee joint. Proper alignment can positively impact knee function.

Trigger Point Therapy

Targeted pressure on specific trigger points in the muscles around the knee can release tension, reduce pain, and improve range of motion. Trigger point therapy can address muscular imbalances contributing to knee discomfort.

Exercise and Rehabilitation

We provide customized exercise programs to strengthen the muscles supporting the knee joint, enhancing stability and reducing the risk of future injuries.

While knee pain can hinder your ability to tackle daily activities and impact overall well-being, the good news is that chiropractic care, trigger point therapy, and a personalized treatment plan tailored by our chiropractors offer a holistic approach to alleviating knee discomfort.
