What can cause knee pain?

Knee pain can develop gradually or appear following an injury, change in activity or increase in physical demands.

Some common factors associated with knee pain include:
• Osteoarthritis
• Previous injuries
• Changes in activity or exercise
• Repetitive movements
• Sporting activities
• Muscular tension or stiffness
• Patellofemoral pain, sometimes known as "runner's knee"
• Problems affecting the muscles and tissues around the knee

There isn't always one simple explanation for knee pain, which is why an individual assessment is important.

Knee pain and osteoarthritis

Knee osteoarthritis is a common cause of knee pain and stiffness.

If you've been diagnosed with osteoarthritis, your chiropractor can discuss whether chiropractic care may be appropriate as part of your overall approach to managing your symptoms. Chiropractic care isn't a replacement for recommended medical care or exercise, but it may form part of a wider approach to managing some musculoskeletal symptoms.

If you're unsure what's causing your knee pain, we'll assess your symptoms and advise whether further investigation or medical assessment may be appropriate.

Looking at the bigger picture

Your knee works together with your hip, ankle and surrounding muscles when you walk, run, climb stairs and carry out everyday activities.
For this reason, your chiropractor may consider how you move as part of your assessment rather than looking only at the area where you feel pain.

This may include:
• Your general movement and walking pattern
• The activities that aggravate or ease your symptoms
• The muscles and joints around your knee
• Your work, exercise and lifestyle
• Previous injuries or episodes of pain

This doesn't mean that your knee pain necessarily comes from another part of your body. It simply helps us understand your individual circumstances.

How do our Matlock chiropractors approach knee pain?

Following your assessment, your chiropractor will explain their findings and discuss the options that may be appropriate for you.

Depending on your individual circumstances, your care may include:
• Joint mobilisation or manipulation where appropriate
• Soft-tissue techniques around the knee, thigh, hip or lower leg
• Exercise and rehabilitation to support movement and strength
• Stretching and strengthening exercises
• Advice about activity and exercise
• Practical lifestyle advice where relevant

Your care will be tailored to your symptoms, preferences and goals rather than following a standard programme.

Knee pain and everyday activities

Knee pain can sometimes lead you to avoid activities you enjoy. You may find yourself walking less, changing how you exercise or taking a break from sport and hobbies.

We'll help you understand your symptoms and discuss appropriate ways of managing them. Where suitable, this may include advice about gradually adapting your activities and maintaining appropriate movement and exercises.

Our Sports Therapist can help too

At So Healthy, we also have a Sports Therapist in Matlock who can help with a range of sports-related and muscular problems.

If your knee symptoms are associated with exercise, sporting activity or muscular discomfort, Sports Therapy may be another option to consider.
Depending on your individual needs, this may include hands-on soft-tissue techniques alongside exercise and movement advice.

You don't have to be a competitive athlete to see a Sports Therapist. They can work with people who enjoy running, walking, gym-based exercise, recreational sport and other activities.

Esther was really helpful. Explained the process well as it was my first time and I left feeling better than when I went in!

I go to the Kempston branch to see Esther. She is thorough and efficient when she treats me but also is kind and compassionate. I always come away feeling better than when I walked in.

I have been using the so healthy wellness centre for many many years now and having a quality chiropractor available to see each month has helped me to keep playing tennis 🎾, plus doing many others things that I don’t think I’d be able to do if I didn’t have these regular checkups and adjustments. Many thanks
