Are you experiencing any of the following?

• A dull ache in your knee joint?
• Sharp of stabbing pain in the knee?
• Locking or restricted movement in the knee?
• Difficulty playing sports or doing the activities you enjoy?
• Knee pain is a very common problem for athletes and those who engage in recreational activity.

Knee pain is not found exclusively in active people. The elderly and also those who live a sedentary lifestyle are also at risk.

There are many types of conditions associated with knee pain including: muscle tears, sprains, meniscus injuries, fractures, arthritis, patella tracking syndrome, iliotibial band syndrome, gout, ACL rupture, Osgood Schlatters disease and Osteochondritis dissecans.

This is why performing a comprehensive examination is an integral part of what we do at Vibrant Family Chiropractic. If we deem your knee pain needs to be attended to by another medical professional we will be sure to find the right person for you.

For the most part we find that knee pain is mechanical in nature. Meaning the causes are from poor alignment of the hips, low back, and legs, as well as muscular imbalances.

Often knee pain is not simply a ‘knee problem’ but is often caused by poor mechanics and alignment in the lower back and hip region. Due to the close relationship between these body parts, if one is dysfunctioning it can often create problems further ‘down-stream’ at the knee.

The knee is also very susceptible to wear and tear as we get older, which is why it is important to take good care of our joints.

At Vibrant Family Chiropractic, we take pride in using a holistic approach; treating your entire body and not just your knee. We find this to be an effective way to help people recover and build long-term strength and stability in the knee joint.

On top of our specific and tailored chiropractic adjustments to restore your alignment, our chiropractors will often prescribe rehabilitative exercises and stretches to aid in your recovery.

Our team is 100% committed to helping you get back to your best and experience a Vibrant life.
