Knee Pain Treatment Services by Lite Force Chiropractic – Reliable Chiropractor in Medina, OH

Are you struggling with knee pain that's limiting your daily activities, preventing you from enjoying your favorite sports, or making simple tasks like climbing stairs a challenge? Whether you're dealing with arthritis-related discomfort, sports injuries, chronic knee instability, or overuse conditions that developed gradually over time, you don't have to accept pain as a permanent part of your life. At Lite Force Chiropractic in Medina, OH, we specialize in conservative, non-invasive knee pain treatment that addresses both your symptoms and the underlying causes of your discomfort through comprehensive chiropractic care.

Knee pain can stem from various sources including osteoarthritis, ligament injuries, meniscus tears, patellofemoral pain syndrome, IT band syndrome, overuse conditions, biomechanical imbalances, and referred pain from hip or ankle dysfunction. The knee is a complex hinge joint that bears significant weight and stress during daily activities, making it vulnerable to both acute injuries and chronic degenerative changes. Rather than masking your symptoms with medications or rushing into surgical interventions that may not address the root causes, our evidence-based approach focuses on restoring proper function, reducing inflammation, and addressing the biomechanical factors contributing to your knee problems through targeted chiropractic care and complementary therapies.

Our Chiropractor Services

Knee Pain Treatment (Primary Service)

Conservative care plans to address arthritis, overuse, and instability-related knee issues.

At Lite Force Chiropractic, we understand that effective knee pain treatment requires a thorough understanding of how your entire lower kinetic chain functions together. Your knee pain may be the result of problems elsewhere in your body, including hip dysfunction, ankle restrictions, pelvic misalignments, or even spinal issues that alter your gait and movement patterns. Our comprehensive approach evaluates your entire musculoskeletal system to identify all contributing factors to your knee discomfort and develop a treatment plan that addresses the root causes, not just the symptoms.

Our knee pain assessment begins with a detailed biomechanical evaluation that examines not just your knee joint, but also your hip mobility, ankle function, pelvic alignment, and overall movement patterns. We perform specialized orthopedic tests to assess ligament stability, meniscus integrity, joint mechanics, and muscle function around the knee. This thorough evaluation helps us determine whether your knee pain is primarily due to local joint dysfunction, referred pain from other areas, biomechanical imbalances, or a combination of factors.

For patients with arthritis-related knee pain, we focus on maintaining and improving joint mobility through gentle chiropractic adjustments and specific mobilization techniques. Arthritic joints benefit from controlled movement that helps maintain cartilage health, reduces stiffness, and improves synovial fluid circulation. Our treatments help optimize joint mechanics, reduce inflammatory responses, and improve your overall function without the side effects associated with long-term medication use or the risks of invasive procedures.

Our approach to overuse injuries and repetitive stress conditions involves addressing muscle imbalances, correcting movement dysfunctions, and providing specific strengthening protocols to support proper knee mechanics. We identify tight muscles that may be pulling the knee out of alignment, weak muscles that aren't providing adequate support, and faulty movement patterns that place excessive stress on knee structures. Our treatment plans include targeted soft tissue therapies to address muscular restrictions and imbalances that contribute to abnormal stress on your knee joint.

For patients dealing with knee instability, whether from previous injuries, ligament laxity, or degenerative changes, we focus on improving proprioception (joint position awareness) and strengthening the muscles that provide dynamic stability to the knee joint. Our corrective exercise programs are designed to retrain proper movement patterns and build the strength and coordination necessary for pain-free function and injury prevention.

Hip and pelvis evaluation is crucial in our knee pain treatment approach, as dysfunction in these areas can significantly impact knee mechanics. Hip flexor tightness, weak glutes, or pelvic misalignments can alter your gait pattern and create compensatory stresses on the knee joint. We address these proximal issues through targeted adjustments, soft tissue work, and corrective exercises to restore proper alignment and function throughout your lower kinetic chain.

Ankle and foot assessment is equally important, as restrictions or imbalances in these areas can force your knee to compensate during walking and other activities. Poor ankle mobility or foot mechanics can create abnormal rotational forces at the knee, contributing to pain and dysfunction. Our treatment includes evaluation and correction of these distal influences on knee function..

Supporting Primary Services

Several of our other primary services work synergistically with knee pain treatment to provide comprehensive care:

Joint Pain Treatment:

Our whole-body approach to joint health complements knee-specific treatments by addressing related restrictions and imbalances throughout your lower extremity and spine that may be contributing to your knee problems.

Sports Injuries Treatment:

For active individuals and athletes, our performance-focused rehabilitation addresses knee injuries while focusing on return to sport, performance optimization, and injury prevention strategies specific to your activities.

Cold Laser Therapy:

Low-level laser therapy provides an excellent adjunct to manual treatments by promoting tissue repair, reducing inflammation, and accelerating the healing process in injured knee structures including cartilage, ligaments, and surrounding soft tissues.

Back Pain Treatment:

Since spinal problems can influence lower extremity function through altered movement patterns and compensation mechanisms, addressing back issues often plays a crucial role in resolving knee pain.

Plantar Fasciitis:

Foot and ankle problems can create a chain reaction of compensation that affects knee mechanics, making treatment of these conditions important for comprehensive knee care.

Secondary Categories

Pain Control Clinic:

Our multidisciplinary, conservative pain-management strategies are particularly beneficial for chronic knee pain sufferers who need comprehensive approaches tailored to their specific goals and functional requirements without relying on medications or invasive procedures.

Holistic Medicine Practitioner:

We address whole-person wellness factors that may be contributing to your knee pain, including inflammatory conditions, nutritional considerations for joint health, weight management support, and lifestyle modifications that promote healing and long-term joint health.
