Knee Pain Relief in Lake Hopatcong, NJ
Knee pain doesn't just affect your knees — it changes how you move, stand, and live. Our whole-body approach addresses not just the knee, but the biomechanical issues that caused the problem.
Common symptoms we treat:
Understanding knee pain
Your knees bear the brunt of your body weight and absorb shock with every step. When they hurt, it affects everything you do — from walking to climbing stairs to simply getting up from a chair.
What many people don't realize is that knee problems often stem from issues elsewhere — in the hips, pelvis, lower back, or feet. When these areas are misaligned, your knees take extra stress.
Chiropractic care takes a whole-body approach to knee pain, addressing not just the knee itself but the entire kinetic chain that affects how your knee functions.

How we treat knee pain
Dr. Andy looks beyond the knee to find the root cause of your pain. Here's our approach:
Biomechanical Assessment
We evaluate your gait, posture, and movement patterns to understand what's putting stress on your knee.
Address the Kinetic Chain
We work on the lower back, pelvis, hips, and ankles — all of which affect knee function.
Knee-Specific Care
When appropriate, we use techniques to improve knee mobility and reduce local tension.
Functional Rehabilitation
We prescribe exercises to strengthen the muscles that support your knee and improve your movement patterns.
By addressing the whole body, we often achieve results that knee-focused treatments alone cannot.
Knee Pain FAQs
Do chiropractors treat knees?
Yes. While chiropractic is known for spine care, we also treat extremities. More importantly, we address spinal and pelvic issues that often contribute to knee problems.
Can chiropractic help knee arthritis?
Chiropractic can help manage arthritis symptoms by improving mobility and reducing stress on the joint. We can't cure arthritis, but we can help you function better.
Should I see a chiropractor or orthopedist for knee pain?
Both can be helpful. Chiropractic offers a non-invasive, whole-body approach. If surgery might be needed, an orthopedist's evaluation is important too.
How does my back affect my knee?
Your spine, pelvis, hips, and knees are all connected. Misalignments higher up can change how you walk and stand, putting extra stress on your knees.
