Knee pain is often the knee paying for something happening above or below it. A weak hip lets the knee cave inward, a stiff ankle changes how you land, and the knee absorbs the difference. That is why treating only the knee so often fails.
We assess the whole leg, hip, knee, and ankle, treat the painful tissue, and fix the strength and movement problems that put the load on your knee in the first place.
Looking above and below the knee
Runner’s knee, IT band pain, and kneecap tracking problems are usually driven by hip and glute weakness that lets the leg collapse inward with every step. Treat the knee alone and the pattern keeps reloading it.
So we build hip and glute strength and clean up how you move, alongside hands-on care and modalities for the sore knee itself. For arthritic knees, the same approach, strength plus laser to settle inflammation, keeps people active and comfortable.
How we treat knee pain
- Assessment of hip, knee, and ankle to find the real driver
- Soft-tissue work and dry needling for tight quads, IT band, and calves
- Class IV laser and shockwave for tendon and arthritic pain
- Hip and leg strengthening, often with blood flow restriction
