Knee Pain Relief in Seattle

Symptoms & Warning Signs

Signs that indicate your knee pain may benefit from chiropractic care include:

• Sharp or dull aching in or around the knee joint
• Swelling, stiffness, or warmth
• Pain worsening with movement — walking, bending, kneeling
• Popping, catching, or locking sensations
• Instability or giving way of the knee
• Decreased range of motion, difficulty straightening or bending
• Pain extending into thighs or lower legs due to compensatory stress

If you experience these symptoms, especially without a clear cause, early evaluation is key to preventing escalation.

How MG Chiropractic Treats Knee Pain

We use a multi-layered, structural and functional strategy to address knee pain:

We examine knee mechanics, alignment, movement patterns, adjacent joint function (hip, ankle), and compensatory imbalances.

Precise chiropractic adjustments of the spine, pelvis, hip, ankle, or foot may reduce compensatory stress on the knee. In some cases, mild mobilization of the knee joint itself is used.

Where direct manipulation would be too aggressive, we use controlled instrument-assisted adjustments to nearby segments to offload stresses.

Techniques targeting tight muscles, fascia, and connective tissues around the knee, hip, quadriceps, hamstrings, IT band, and calves help reduce tension and improve biomechanics.

Using laser therapy or similar modalities can help reduce inflammation, promote tissue repair, and support faster recovery in knee structures.

We design individualized exercises to strengthen the muscles supporting the knee—quadriceps, hamstrings, glutes, calves, and retrain movement, stability, and proprioception.

We advise on footwear, gait correction, activity modification, weight management, and movement habits to minimize stress on your knee long-term.

As you progress, we reassess mechanics, adjust the treatment plan, and intensify functional goals to guide you back to full mobility.

Benefits Patients Often Experience

With consistent and integrated care, patients may see:

• Decreased pain, swelling, and stiffness
• Increased range of motion and joint flexibility
• Improved strength, stability, and functional performance
• Enhanced movement efficiency, reducing compensatory stress
• Slower degeneration or damage progression
• Less reliance on pain medications, injections, or surgery

While not every knee pathology can be fully reversed, many responders achieve significant improvements in comfort and function.
