Do you experience nagging knee pain after a run, a workout, or even just going up and down the stairs? 

Have you tried rest, ice, or even pain relievers, only to have the pain return? If so, you might be dealing with runner’s knee—and you’re not alone. But here’s the good news: there are effective ways to prevent and treat it before it sidelines you completely.

What is Runner’s Knee?

Runner's knee is a common condition caused by repetitive stress on the knee joint, leading to pain and discomfort. While it’s frequently associated with runners, it can also affect people who do a lot of stair climbing, squatting, heavy lifting, or simply experience wear and tear over time.

Why Do Some People Get Runner’s Knee While Others Don’t?

Contrary to popular belief, runner’s knee isn’t just about overuse. Several factors contribute to its development, including:

• Improper footwear and lack of support
• Weak or imbalanced muscles
• Poor knee joint mechanics
• Previous injuries or arthritis
• Pelvic and lower back misalignment

Traditional Approaches to Runner’s Knee

Many people rely on temporary relief methods like:

• Rest, ice, and elevation
• Over-the-counter pain relievers
• Knee braces or wraps
• New running shoes
• Physical therapy

While these approaches may help in the short term, they often fail to address the underlying cause of the pain.

Targeted Adjustments

Precise knee adjustments help restore proper movement, reduce wear and tear, and decrease swelling, effectively eliminating pain. Adjustments to the pelvis and lower back can also help correct knee mechanics, loosen tight muscles, and restore proper nerve function, making movement smoother and pain-free.

Using state-of-the-art decompression technology, we gently stretch the ligaments, improve mobility, and enhance joint health. This game-changing approach has helped countless patients regain pain-free movement.

Infrared Light Therapy and Advanced Technology

We utilize FDA-approved infrared light therapy to reduce inflammation, promote oxygen flow to tissues, and speed up healing. Other advanced technologies help stimulate nerve signals, relax muscles, and alleviate pain.
