Don’t Ignore These Signs & Symptoms
An injury that causes pain in the knees can be due to issues with a ligament, cartilage, trigger points, inflammation (like tendonitis), nerve irritation, or even osteoarthritis. If you ignore early warning signs of joint problems, they can get worse and even debilitating. Take action quickly for the best possible recovery outcomes.

Chiropractic Methods Of Care
Knee pain chiropractors, sports chiropractors, and musculoskeletal therapists can treat knee pain in a variety of ways. From icing inflammation and suggesting specific exercises to specialized chiropractic manipulations, you have options. We can help you get to the root causes of your discomfort and design a personalized treatment plan that makes use of both chiropractic pain relief and massage therapy techniques.
How Massage Can Help
Sometimes pain in the knees is the result of tight muscles, tendons, or scar tissue build-up. Massage therapy can help balance muscles and release tension. Myofascial release, trigger point therapy, and deep tissue techniques may help to relax the areas causing you problems.
