Many people associate chiropractic care with back and neck pain, but it can also be highly effective for hip and knee issues. While discomfort is felt in the lower body, the root cause often originates in the spine or pelvis, which is why our approach focuses on identifying and addressing the underlying cause, not just the symptoms.

Can Chiropractic Care Help With Hip and Knee Problems?

Do you experience:

• Pain with walking, bending, climbing stairs, or getting up from a seated position
• Reduced range of motion or stiffness after activity
• Discomfort that radiates into the groin or outer thigh

If any of this sounds familiar, your body may be signalling that something is out of balance. Because your spine houses the main pathway of your nervous system, misalignments can disrupt nerve function and contribute to hip or knee pain. Treatment at Uptown Chiropractic may include adjustments to the spine and pelvis as well as targeted adjustments to the hip or knee using the Activator Method — a gentle, precise, and effective technique that helps improve joint motion, reduce tissue stress, and support healing.

Custom foot orthotics can also play an important role in recovery and prevention. Your feet are the foundation of your posture, and even small imbalances can create a chain reaction affecting the knees, hips, and spine. To learn more, check out this article.
