Knee pain can be a major barrier to living an active, fulfilling life.

At Renu Chiropractic in Newport Beach, we specialize in providing non-invasive, drug-free treatments that target the root cause of your knee pain, helping you find lasting relief and get back to living your best life.

Common Causes of Knee Pain

Knee pain can arise from a variety of conditions, injuries, or wear-and-tear on the joint. Some of the most common causes of knee pain include:

• Osteoarthritis: A degenerative condition where the cartilage in the knee joint wears down over time, leading to pain, swelling, and stiffness.

• Patellar Tendonitis: Inflammation of the tendons around the kneecap, often caused by overuse or repetitive movements.

• Meniscus Tears: The meniscus is the cartilage in the knee that cushions the joint. A tear can occur due to sudden twisting movements or chronic wear.

• Ligament Injuries: Injuries to the ligaments, such as an ACL (anterior cruciate ligament) tear, can cause significant knee pain and instability.

• Bursitis: Inflammation of the bursae, which are fluid-filled sacs that cushion the knee joint, can lead to swelling, stiffness, and pain.

• Chondromalacia Patella: This condition occurs when the cartilage under the kneecap becomes damaged, leading to pain, especially during activities like climbing stairs or squatting.

• Overuse or Repetitive Strain: Activities that involve repetitive knee motions, such as running or jumping, can cause pain from overuse, muscle imbalances, or improper technique.

Chiropractic Treatments for Knee Pain

At Renu Chiropractic, we provide a range of chiropractic treatments to relieve knee pain and promote healing. Some of the most effective treatments include:

• Spinal Adjustments: Misalignments in the spine can lead to improper movement patterns and compensation in the legs and knees. Chiropractic adjustments help realign the spine and restore proper movement to the body, which can reduce knee pain caused by mechanical issues.

• Knee Adjustments: Specific chiropractic techniques can be used to realign the knee joint, reduce inflammation, and improve the range of motion, helping to restore proper function and reduce pain.

• Soft Tissue Therapy: Techniques like massage therapy or trigger point therapy can help relax tense muscles around the knee, improve circulation, and reduce muscle imbalances that contribute to knee pain.

• Corrective Exercises: We provide individualized exercises to strengthen the muscles surrounding the knee joint and improve flexibility, helping to prevent future injuries and alleviate pain.

• Postural and Gait Correction: Poor posture or abnormal walking patterns can place excessive stress on the knees, leading to pain. We assess your posture and gait to make recommendations for improving your movement patterns and reducing knee strain.

• Lifestyle and Activity Modification: We offer guidance on lifestyle changes that can help alleviate knee pain, such as proper footwear, ergonomics, and modifications to daily activities to reduce stress on the knee joint.
