Knee Pain Treatment in Lake Worth
Available at Lake Worth, Boca Raton, West Palm Beach
It usually starts small. A nagging twinge on the stairs, or stiffness after a run on the beach. You push through it, again and again, until one day your hip and low back start hurting too.
Why the Pain Rarely Stays in the Knee
Knee pain is discomfort in or around the knee joint, from the kneecap to the ligaments and cartilage inside. Many people manage around it for years before doing anything about it.
When the Ankle or Low Back is Really to Blame
The knee sits between the hip and the ankle, so it soaks up stress from both. Trouble at either end often shows up as knee pain.
Frequent sources include:
- Low back or ankle problems that change how you move
- Poor mechanics during exercise or sports
- Repetitive impact from running, jumping, or pickleball
- Wear-and-tear changes like arthritis
- Old sprains that never fully healed
Aching on Stairs, Stiff After Sitting
You may feel a dull ache around the kneecap, stiffness after sitting, or pain going up and down stairs. Some people notice clicking, a catching feeling, or soreness that lingers into the next day.
Swelling and a knee that gives way can point to something more serious.
When Playing Through It Starts Changing How You Move
Pushing through stops working once the pain changes how you walk, run, or play. From there, the stress ripples through the rest of your body. If that sounds familiar, it’s time for an exam.
A Look at the Hips, Ankles, and Low Back
Your visit starts with a detailed history and exam. With training in extremity adjusting, our chiropractor looks at the full chain of movement: your ankles, hips, low back, and the muscle tone around them.
Knees that click, catch, or feel restricted but remain stable often respond well to conservative care. Significant trauma, major instability, or a lot of swelling may call for a referral, and we’ll tell you if that’s the case.
Care at Midtown Clinic of Chiropractic may include knee and spinal adjustments, cold laser therapy, and corrective exercises to improve how you move.
Staying Active, Even with Wear and Tear
Been told your knee is just wear and tear? Changes like arthritis can’t simply be reversed, but that doesn’t mean nothing can be done.
We may still be able to improve mobility, movement, and joint function so you can stay active. Progress looks like easier stairs, longer runs or matches, and fewer aches in your hips and back.
Keep Running, Lifting, and Playing on Knees You Trust
Your knees carry you through every game and every errand. Call Midtown Clinic of Chiropractic at (561) 533-3884 to schedule your knee pain evaluation.
