What knee pain looks and feels like
| Symptom | Everyday impact | What it may signal |
| Morning stiffness | Takes several steps to loosen up | Early cartilage wear or tight thigh muscles |
| Sharp twinge on stairs | Pain climbing up or down | Patellar tracking problem or meniscus strain |
| Swelling by day’s end | Knee feels puffy after sitting | Joint inflammation from overuse or poor alignment |
| Feeling of “giving way” | Worry about the knee buckling | Weak stabilising muscles or ligament irritation |
Why knees start to hurt
- Over-use irritation – runner’s knee, jumper’s knee, IT-band stress
- Sudden sprain or twist – awkward landings, quick direction changes
- Age-related wear – thinning cartilage and slower tissue repair
- Hip-or-foot imbalance – poor arch support or weak glutes shifting force into the knee
Ignored, these issues can speed up arthritis and strain ankles, hips, and the lower back.
Why you shouldn’t ignore it
Left unchecked, irritation turns into chronic inflammation, cartilage wears thin, muscles weaken, and simple movements become risky. Persistent knee pain is also linked to weight gain and cardiovascular decline because people move less. Early care protects both your joint and overall health.
How we treat knee pain
- Full movement screen – from arches to hips to see where force is leaking into the knee.
- Chiropractic adjustments – free stiff joints in the ankle, hip, or spine that overload the knee.
- SoftWave® sound-wave therapy – calms swelling and supports tendon healing.
- Targeted drills – two or three simple band or body-weight moves to keep the knee tracking straight.
Most people feel lighter steps within a week; long-standing cases improve steadily over six-to-eight visits.
Does insurance cover knee pain care?
