Knee Pain Care in Stonebridge
Knee pain can turn simple things like climbing stairs, kneeling down, or going for a walk into something you have to plan around. Sometimes it follows a recent or past injury. Other times, factors involving the feet, hips, pelvis, or low back may be part of the picture. At Pawlovich Chiropractic, we look beyond the sore spot when needed to get a better picture of what may be involved.
Why the Knee May Not Be the Whole Story
Sometimes knee pain involves more than the knee joint itself. How the feet, hips, pelvis, and low back are functioning may affect the way forces are distributed through the knee.
That’s why we look beyond the sore spot when needed. Persistent or recurring knee pain is worth having assessed, particularly when it begins to affect your movement or everyday activities.
What May Be Related to Knee Pain
Several factors may be associated with knee discomfort:
- A direct injury, whether recent or from years past
- Alignment or movement concerns involving the feet, hips, or pelvis
- Changes in movement patterns following an earlier injury
- Muscle imbalances or tight quadriceps
- Degenerative changes that develop gradually over time
From Assessment to Care
We start with a thorough examination and questions about when your knee hurts, what makes it worse, and how it affects your activities. X-rays may be ordered when indicated to provide more information about the joint.
Depending on what the examination shows, care may include Gonstead adjustments or instrument-assisted techniques to address relevant areas of the spine or pelvis. For active patients or sports-related knee concerns, sports chiropractic may also be part of the conversation. SoftWave Therapy may be considered for certain soft tissue and joint concerns.
