Knee Pain Treatment at Axis Chiropractic, P.A.

Knee pain can quickly interfere with everyday life. Walking, climbing stairs, kneeling, squatting, exercising, or simply getting through a physical workday can become difficult when your knee hurts.

At Axis Chiropractic, we evaluate and treat knee pain for patients throughout New Ulm and surrounding Southern Minnesota communities. Our goal is to determine what's contributing to your symptoms and help you return to comfortable movement and normal activities.

Walk-ins are welcome during business hours, and same-day appointments are often available.

Knee pain can begin suddenly after an injury or gradually develop from repetitive activity and everyday stress.

Common causes and contributing factors include:

• Sports and running injuries
• Repetitive kneeling or squatting
• Physically demanding work
• Muscle or tendon irritation
• Previous knee injuries
• Falls or other trauma
• Joint irritation and stiffness
• Age-related changes
• Changes in activity or training

Symptoms may occur during walking, stairs, exercise, kneeling, or after sitting for extended periods. 

Some people also experience stiffness, swelling, or difficulty comfortably bending the knee.

The knee doesn't work independently.

Movement at the hip, ankle, and foot can influence how forces travel through the knee during walking, running, squatting, and other activities. That's why an evaluation may include more than simply examining where it hurts.

Understanding your work demands, exercise habits, previous injuries, and which movements aggravate your symptoms can help identify factors contributing to the problem.

Treatment depends on what's causing your knee pain.

When conservative chiropractic care is appropriate, treatment may include joint mobilization or manipulation, soft tissue treatment, exercises, and recommendations for modifying aggravating activities.

Our goal is to improve comfortable movement and help you return to work, exercise, sports, and everyday activities.

Consider an evaluation when knee pain persists, repeatedly returns, limits walking or exercise, interferes with work, or is progressively worsening.

Significant swelling following an injury, inability to bear weight, obvious deformity, locking of the knee, or suspected fracture or major ligament injury may require additional medical evaluation or imaging.

Axis Chiropractic has served New Ulm and surrounding Southern Minnesota communities for more than 40 years. We provide individualized conservative care for knee pain related to work, sports, exercise, repetitive activities, and everyday injuries.

Walk-ins are welcome during normal business hours, and appointments are available for those who prefer to schedule ahead.
