As chiropractors, we take a comprehensive medical history and perform a thorough physical and biomechanical examination to make an accurate diagnosis. Without an accurate diagnosis, the treatment will not be successful. Our approach to assessing and treating the knee includes the evaluation of the other joints and muscles relating to the knee. This is for several reasons: First, pain can be referred from other structures in the low back, pelvis, and hip into the knee in certain conditions.

Second, if other joints in the lower limb are not working correctly, they can put increased stress on the knee joint, resulting in injury over time. Therefore to resolve the knee pain, chiropractors may also treat other areas to maximize long-term improvement.

At PA Pain & Rehab, our primary form of treatment is chiropractic care. After an injury, the knee can lose its normal range of motion, causing restriction and dysfunction. We perform chiropractic adjustments to the knee to help improve its mobility. All our joints heal through movement and need to be properly moving to heal effectively. This also includes the knee. Chiropractors can gently manipulate the knee joint to allow for improved range of motion and decreased pain.
