WHAT CAUSES KNEE PAIN?

Knee pain has many causes, including strains, irritated tendons, worn cartilage from arthritis, and bursitis. Hiking downhill, quick moves on the pickleball court and long hours on your feet can all add strain. Most knee pain starts to ease within a few days, but pain that lasts more than a few weeks should be checked.

HOW WE HELP

Every visit starts with a conversation and a hands-on exam, and your first treatment usually happens the same day.

Exam firstWe check how your knee, hip and ankle move, and tell you plainly if you need imaging or a referral instead.
Therapeutic exercisesStrengthening for the muscles that support the knee and hip.
Soft tissue therapyHands-on work for tight thigh and calf muscles.
Joint mobilizationGentle, hands-on movement to improve knee motion.
Shockwave therapyRadial pressure waves for knee tendon pain, such as patellar tendinitis (jumper's knee), to help reduce pain and increase blood flow to the area. About 15 minutes a session, with no downtime. Self-pay.Learn more →
Clear planWe tell you what to expect and check your progress each visit. As ChiroTrust members, we do not use unnecessary long-term plans.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What can I do at home?
Take some weight off the knee, for example by avoiding long periods of standing, and use a wrapped cold pack for up to 20 minutes every two to three hours.
My knee clicks. Is that a problem?
Clicking without pain is normal. Clicking with pain, locking or giving way should be checked.
When should I get my knee checked?
If pain has not improved after a few weeks.
Is shockwave therapy covered by insurance?
No. Shockwave therapy is a self-pay service. Call us and we will explain the options.
Can I be seen the same day?
In most cases, yes. Call 480-488-1282, or request an appointment online and we will call you back.
