Knee pain can make everyday activities challenging. Whether you're experiencing discomfort while walking, climbing stairs, exercising, squatting, or simply getting up from a chair, knee pain can significantly impact your quality of life.
At Reform Health & Wellness, we provide individualized treatment plans designed to reduce pain, improve mobility, restore strength, and help patients return to the activities they enjoy.
Common Knee Conditions We Treat
Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome (Runner's Knee)
One of the most common causes of knee pain.
Symptoms may include:
- pain around the kneecap
- discomfort with stairs
- pain while squatting
- pain after prolonged sitting
- clicking or grinding sensations
Meniscus Injuries
The meniscus helps cushion and stabilize the knee.
Common symptoms include:
- joint line pain
- swelling
- locking or catching sensations
- pain with twisting movements
- stiffness
Knee Osteoarthritis
Arthritic changes may contribute to:
- stiffness
- swelling
- reduced mobility
- pain with activity
- difficulty walking long distances
Many individuals with arthritis can remain active and improve function with appropriate treatment and exercise.
Patellar Tendinopathy (Jumper's Knee)
Often seen in:
- runners
- athletes
- active individuals
Symptoms commonly include:
- pain below the kneecap
- discomfort during jumping
- pain with stairs
- activity-related symptoms
IT Band Syndrome
Common among runners and cyclists.
Symptoms may include:
- pain on the outside of the knee
- discomfort during activity
- symptoms that worsen with repetitive movement
Ligament Injuries
Including:
- ACL injuries
- MCL injuries
- LCL injuries
- sprains and strains
These injuries may occur during sports, exercise, or traumatic incidents.
Sports & Activity-Related Knee Pain
We commonly assess and treat:
- overuse injuries
- running-related pain
- gym injuries
- recreational sports injuries
- return-to-sport rehabilitation
What Causes Knee Pain?
Knee pain often develops from a combination of factors, including:
- muscle weakness
- mobility restrictions
- altered movement patterns
- repetitive strain
- sports injuries
- poor biomechanics
- overtraining
- arthritis
- previous injuries
- reduced hip or ankle mobility
Many knee problems are influenced by how the entire lower body functions rather than an isolated issue within the knee itself.
Why the Knee Is Often Not the Only Problem
One of the most common misconceptions about knee pain is that the source of the problem is always located within the knee.
In reality, the hips, pelvis, ankles, and feet all influence knee mechanics.
For example:
- weak glute muscles can increase knee stress
- limited ankle mobility can alter squatting mechanics
- poor hip control may affect knee alignment during movement
This is why a comprehensive movement assessment is often an important part of treatment.
How We Help
Chiropractic Care
Chiropractic treatment may help improve mobility throughout the:
- knee
- hip
- pelvis
- ankle
- lower back
Treatment may include:
- joint mobilization
- dry needling/IMS
- shockwave treatment
- graston/IASTM
- cupping
- movement assessment
- exercise recommendations

Exercise-based rehabilitation is one of the most effective treatment approaches for many common knee conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions
This is your sub-headline
Patellofemoral pain syndrome (runner's knee), arthritis, tendon irritation, and meniscus injuries are among the most common causes of knee pain.
Not necessarily. Many knee conditions can be diagnosed through a thorough history and physical examination without immediate imaging. Our team of Chiropractors can determine if imaging is necessary and order the appropriate tests.
In many cases, yes. Appropriate exercise is often one of the most effective treatments for knee pain. The key is choosing the right exercises and progressing gradually.
Yes. While arthritis itself cannot be reversed, many people improve pain, mobility, strength, and function through exercise, rehabilitation, and conservative care.
This is commonly associated with patellofemoral pain syndrome, tendon irritation, arthritis, or movement-related dysfunction affecting how forces move through the knee.
