Rehab-Based Chiropractic Care for Knee Pain

If knee pain is limiting your ability to walk, exercise, squat, or enjoy daily activities, Motion Chiropractic in Reno and Minden, Nevada provides rehab-based chiropractic care designed to reduce pain, improve mobility, and restore long-term function.

Rather than focusing only on symptom relief, we evaluate how the knee, hips, pelvis, and ankles work together to identify the true source of dysfunction and create a personalized plan to correct it.


What Causes Knee Pain?

Knee pain can develop from many different factors, including:

  • Overuse or repetitive strain
  • Ligament or tendon irritation
  • Patellar tracking issues (kneecap movement dysfunction)
  • Meniscus irritation or degeneration
  • Muscle imbalances in the hips or legs
  • Poor movement mechanics during walking, running, or lifting
  • Joint stiffness or dysfunction in surrounding areas (hips/ankles)

Often, knee pain is not just a knee problem—it can be influenced by movement patterns in the entire lower body.


Common Symptoms of Knee Pain

Patients with knee pain often experience:

  • Pain when walking, squatting, or going up/down stairs
  • Stiffness or swelling around the knee joint
  • Clicking, popping, or grinding sensations
  • Weakness or instability in the knee
  • Pain after activity or prolonged standing
  • Reduced range of motion

Our Rehab-Based Approach to Knee Pain

At Motion Chiropractic, we take an evidence-based, rehabilitation-first approach to knee pain.

Your care plan may include:

  • Chiropractic adjustments to improve joint mechanics in the knee, hips, and ankles
  • Soft tissue therapy to reduce muscle tension and improve circulation
  • Corrective rehabilitation exercises to strengthen supporting muscles and improve movement patterns
  • Functional movement training to restore proper walking, squatting, and activity mechanics

This approach helps address both the symptoms and root causes of knee pain so you can recover more fully and reduce the risk of recurrence.

  • Work-related standing, lifting, or repetitive movement
  • Age-related joint wear and movement compensation patterns

  • Knee pain lasts more than a few days
