Knee Pain Relief in Kelowna: How Chiropractic Care Can Help

Why So Many People Are Experiencing Knee Pain

At our Kelowna chiropractic clinic, we’ve been seeing a growing number of patients coming in with knee pain. While knee pain can have many causes, one of the most common issues we see is poor alignment and improper function of the knee joint.

When the knee isn’t tracking or moving correctly, certain tissues take on more stress than they should. Over time, this can lead to irritation, inflammation, and pain. 

How Poor Knee Alignment Causes Pain

When the knee joint is not aligned properly, it can place excess strain on structures such as:

• Bursa → leading to bursitis

• Ligaments and cartilage → contributing to swelling and instability

• The patella (kneecap) → causing pain underneath the kneecap

Many patients also report:

• Grinding or popping noises

• Stiffness when walking or climbing stairs

• Swelling around the knee

• Pain that worsens with activity

These symptoms are often the result of how the knee is functioning, not just wear and tear. 

How Chiropractic Care Helps Knee Pain

Rather than focusing only on symptoms, chiropractic care addresses the root cause of knee pain—alignment and movement.

At Tutt Street Family Chiropractic, treatment may include:

1. Knee and Joint Adjustments
Gentle, specific adjustments help realign the knee and surrounding joints, improving motion and reducing stress on irritated tissues.

2. Laser Therapy
Laser therapy helps stimulate cellular healing, reduce inflammation, and support tissue repair—especially helpful for irritated ligaments and cartilage.

3. Shockwave Therapy
Shockwave therapy uses sound waves to stimulate healing in tight or damaged soft tissue and can be very effective for chronic knee pain.

4. Custom Orthotics
Because knee alignment starts at the feet, orthotics can play a critical role. Custom orthotics help:

• Improve foot alignment

• Absorb shock

• Reduce abnormal stress on the knees

Why Treating the Whole System Matters

The knee doesn’t work in isolation. Foot mechanics, hip movement, and overall alignment all influence how the knee handles stress. Addressing these factors together helps:

• Reduce pain

• Improve function

• Prevent future flare-ups

When to Seek Help for Knee Pain

You should consider an assessment if you have:

• Ongoing knee pain or swelling

• Pain under the kneecap

• Grinding, popping, or clicking sounds

• Pain with walking, stairs, or exercise

Early care can prevent minor alignment issues from becoming long-term problems.
