Understanding Knee Pain
Knee pain is one of the most common musculoskeletal complaints affecting people of all ages and activity levels. Whether you're an active runner training on the Indian Creek Trail, a weekend warrior playing sports at Fit House KC, or someone dealing with age-related knee discomfort, knee pain can significantly impact your quality of life and ability to stay active.
The knee is the largest joint in your body and bears significant weight during daily activities. It's a complex structure involving bones (femur, tibia, patella), cartilage (meniscus), ligaments (ACL, PCL, MCL, LCL), tendons, and muscles. When any of these components are injured, inflamed, or not functioning properly, knee pain can result.
Common causes of knee pain include runner's knee (patellofemoral pain syndrome), meniscus tears, ligament injuries, tendinitis, bursitis, arthritis, IT band syndrome, and biomechanical issues stemming from hip or ankle dysfunction. Many knee problems develop gradually from overuse, poor movement patterns, muscle imbalances, or inadequate recovery between activities.
At Move Muscle & Joint in Overland Park, we take a comprehensive approach to knee pain treatment. Rather than simply treating the knee in isolation, we assess your entire kinetic chain—including your hips, ankles, and feet—to identify the root cause of your pain. This whole-body approach ensures lasting relief and helps prevent future injuries.
Our evidence-based treatment combines chiropractic adjustments to improve joint alignment, physical therapy to strengthen supporting muscles and correct movement patterns, and advanced modalities like shockwave therapy to accelerate healing. We serve active individuals and families throughout Overland Park, Leawood, Prairie Village, Lenexa, Olathe, and the greater Kansas City area who want to stay active and pain-free.
Common Knee Pain Symptoms
Our Knee Pain Treatment Approach
We use a comprehensive, evidence-based approach to treat knee pain and restore function:
Chiropractic Adjustments
Precise adjustments to the knee, hip, and ankle joints improve alignment and biomechanics. By addressing dysfunction in the kinetic chain, we reduce stress on the knee and promote proper movement patterns.
Physical Therapy
Targeted exercises strengthen the quadriceps, hamstrings, and hip muscles that support the knee. We correct movement patterns, improve flexibility, and teach you exercises to maintain progress and prevent re-injury.
Shockwave Therapy
Advanced acoustic wave technology accelerates healing in tendons and soft tissues around the knee. Particularly effective for chronic tendinitis, patellar tendinopathy, and stubborn knee pain that hasn't responded to other treatments.
