Knee pain tends to affect women more frequently than men due to a combination of biological and lifestyle factors. Hormones play a role in joint stability, as changes in estrogen levels can affect ligament strength and joint support. Women are also more likely to develop osteoarthritis, which leads to joint stiffness, swelling, and pain, over time. Thinner bones and differences in alignment can place added stress on the knee joint during daily activities. Pregnancy may further increase knee pain due to weight changes, altered posture, and increased joint strain. A chiropractor can help by improving joint alignment, reducing muscle tension, and supporting proper movement patterns to relieve knee stress. Chiropractic care may also enhance mobility and comfort. If knee pain is limiting your activities, it is suggested that you schedule an appointment with a chiropractor to restore balance and reduce discomfort through natural relief techniques.
Knee Pain
Knee pain is a frequent complaint that can arise from injuries, overuse, arthritis, or misalignments in the body. This pain can disrupt daily life, limiting movement and impacting quality of life. Knee discomfort often develops when the body’s structural alignment is off, which places extra strain on the knee joint and surrounding muscles and ligaments.
Chiropractic care focuses on reducing knee pain by assessing and addressing alignment throughout the lower body. Gentle adjustments may be used to realign the knee and correct imbalances in the hip, pelvis, and spine that contribute to excessive knee stress. Restoring alignment in these areas can relieve pressure on the joint, ease pain, and promote improved mobility.
To support these adjustments, chiropractors often incorporate exercises, stretches, and lifestyle guidance to improve strength and flexibility around the knee. Strengthening muscles surrounding the joint can offer additional stability, helping to prevent future injuries.
Is knee pain treatment going to be painful?
Patients may worry that adjustments or other treatments will hurt. Chiropractors reassure patients that the techniques used are generally gentle, with any discomfort being mild and short-lived. They work within the patient’s pain tolerance.
How many sessions will I need?
Frequency and number of sessions depend on the pain’s severity and the patient’s response to treatment. Chiropractors often suggest a treatment plan tailored to the individual, sometimes starting with frequent visits and tapering as improvement occurs.
