Care for Knee Pain in Winter Springs & Oviedo
Whether it’s a parent who sits all day at a desk or a young gymnast twisting and turning at every practice, knee pain can come on suddenly and make everyday activities more challenging. But pain isn’t the problem—it’s the message. Your body is trying to tell you something. And when that message gets ignored or covered with a temporary fix, the issue grows louder over time.
Knees don’t work in isolation. They’re part of a finely tuned system that includes the pelvis, hips, spine, and feet. When even one part is out of sync, the stress on your joint can skyrocket.
Why Alignment Matters More Than You Think
Picture a stack of building blocks. If the base tilts even slightly, everything above it shifts. That’s what happens when the pelvis is out of position, often from sitting for too long or favouring one side over the other. Muscles on one side get tight, others weaken, and the knee absorbs the fallout.
“Almost always, we find that tight or overactive muscles around the knee are reacting to something higher up—usually the pelvis or low back,” says Dr. Liz. “It’s rarely just about the knee.”
The Real Source of the Pain Might Surprise You
Before any adjustments are given here at the practice, the first step is always a thorough evaluation. We check bone alignment, muscle tone, and how the entire structure is functioning. Because if your bones are out of place, your muscles will keep trying to compensate, which causes inflammation, stiffness, and pain.
What to Expect During Care
We use gentle, hands-on techniques, such as long-axis traction, to create space between the knee joint and allow for improved movement. This noninvasive approach avoids twisting and focuses on restoring natural alignment.
Once the bones are moving the way they should, targeted muscle work may help release tension and support lasting balance. If needed, we’ll also send you home with simple stretches or strengthening moves to keep the improvement going between visits.
Degeneration Doesn’t Equal Too Late
If you’ve been told you have degenerative joint changes, that doesn’t mean you’re stuck with the pain forever. While we can’t reverse the damage, chiropractic care can help stabilize the joint and reduce strain, so things don’t worsen. Think of it as protecting what you still have.
Posture & Movement Matters
Poor sitting habits, weak core muscles, or favoring one leg during daily activities can all disrupt your alignment. Even the most minor imbalances—how you sit and walk—could have big consequences over time. That’s why posture and gait analysis are part of how we help.
