Chiropractic Care in San Antonio, Texas for Knee Pain Management

Knee pain can occur if the joint is acutely damaged such as falling, using too much weight working out or a sports injury. However, the knee is often the victim from dysfunction in other parts of your body. A flat foot, curved spine, crooked pelvis or rotated hip can put pressure on the knee joint. Over time this weakens different aspects of the knee and the slightest movement such as twisting or hopping up onto a curb can cause your knee to start hurting or give out.

 

There are many things in the knee that can cause pain. There are your meniscus which cushions the joint, multiple tendons that attach your muscles to the knee, multiple ligaments such as your ACL that hold your patella (kneecap) to your leg bones and your cartilage behind your patella that allows it to slide up and down. 

 

Once you schedule an appointment, our chiropractor will do a thorough examination to your spine, pelvis, hips, feet and knees to determine what structure/structures are causing your knee pain. Using pictures and models, she will explain to you how the knee works, why yours isn't working properly and what needs to be done to get you out of pain and allow you to function again.
