chiropractic care for knee pain
Knee pain can sneak up on you after a workout, a long day on your feet, or even just from everyday wear and tear. Whether it’s a dull ache or a sharp twinge, that discomfort can make every step feel harder than it should.
At Hello Wellness + Chiropractic Co. in Mankato, MN, we help patients find lasting relief from knee pain through gentle, targeted chiropractic care. By improving alignment and movement in the joints that support your knees, we can help reduce pain, restore balance, and keep you moving comfortably again.
understanding knee pain
Your knees are some of the hardest-working joints in your body. They rely on proper alignment between your hips, spine, and ankles to move smoothly. When one of those areas is tight, weak, or misaligned, extra stress lands on the knee. Over time, that can lead to irritation, inflammation, or even degeneration.
Common causes of knee pain include:
Muscle imbalances (tight hip flexors, weak glutes, tight hamstrings)
Misalignment in the hips, pelvis, or lower back
Overuse or repetitive strain from running, lifting, or sports
Previous injuries that affect movement patterns
Degenerative changes or early arthritis
how chiropractic care helps
Chiropractic care is about more than back pain. It’s about restoring healthy movement throughout the body. When your spine and pelvis are properly aligned, the rest of your joints (including your knees) can move as they’re designed to.
Here’s how chiropractic care can help relieve and prevent knee pain:
Improved alignment: Gentle adjustments to the hips, pelvis, or spine reduce uneven pressure on the knees.
Balanced muscles: Addressing tight or weak muscle groups around the hips and legs helps stabilize and protect the knee joint.
Reduced inflammation: Better joint mechanics and circulation ease swelling and stiffness around the knee.
Restored movement: When the joints above and below the knee move freely, your body functions more efficiently and pain is reduced.
Many patients are surprised to learn that knee pain often starts elsewhere. A misaligned pelvis, tight lower back, or restricted ankles and feet can quietly change how you walk, run, or squat, and over time, your knees pay the price. Chiropractic adjustments help restore balance, improve movement patterns, and bring your body back into sync.
beyond the adjustment
Lasting knee pain relief often requires more than one quick fix. That’s why chiropractic care focuses on your whole kinetic chain, the way your muscles and joints work together.
At Hello Wellness + Chiropractic Co., we combine chiropractic adjustments with supportive soft-tissue therapy and simple movement guidance to help you strengthen and stabilize the muscles that protect your knees long-term.
Our goal is to help you move better, recover faster, and stay active, whether that’s chasing your kids, getting back to workouts, or just walking without pain.
move better. feel better.
You don’t have to live with knee pain or slow down your life because of it. With the right alignment, balance, and support, your knees can move comfortably again.
