 How we help

Alleviating Knee Pain

Extremity Adjustments

Your chiropractor may recommend extremity adjustments to specific parts of your knee pain in order to align your muscles and bones.

Massage Therapy

Massage therapy targets tight muscles and fascia surrounding the affected areas, improving flexibility, reducing inflammation, and promoting overall joint health to provide effective relief and enhance mobility for patients experiencing knee and joint discomfort.

Dry Needling

Dry needling targets trigger points and tight muscles around the affected areas, promoting muscle relaxation, reducing inflammation, and providing lasting relief and improved mobility for patients experiencing knee and joint discomfort.

Soundwave Therapy

Soundwave therapy delivers gentle sound waves to targeted areas, promoting tissue repair, reducing inflammation, and supporting improved joint function, providing non-invasive and effective pain relief for patients experiencing knee and joint discomfort.

Foam Roller

Regular stretching after running, biking and exercise, especially with foam rollers, will quickly and effectively relieve pain and stop any clicking or grinding.
