Knee Pain Care in Hamilton
Whether it’s from a sudden twist or a long-standing issue that just won’t go away, knee pain can make everyday movement harder than it should be. It often flares up during winter when people are less active and then rush back into exercise. That stop-start rhythm can strain the knee’s ligaments, muscles, or joint alignment.
Pain in this joint shouldn’t be ignored. Left unaddressed, it can limit your activity and increase the risk of long-term wear, including osteoarthritis.
Understanding Knee Pain
Knee discomfort can come on quickly or gradually. Sudden pain often results from a fall, misstep, or awkward movement, causing a sprain or strain. Patients often think these small accidents are inconsequential as they are no longer experiencing any pain after the incident. Patients are often surprised that these small incidents can set them on a path to a variety of other problems not limited to sore feet, hips and sometimes muscle cramping. Restricting activities, they once completed with ease.
Chronic pain builds up over time. It may start after an injury that never quite healed or develop slowly from years of stress and imbalance. The longer it lingers, the more likely it is to interfere with daily life, from climbing stairs to squatting or kneeling.
Realigning for Relief
We take a whole-body approach to knee pain. Dr Kane, Dr Mari and Dr Chantal (Chiropractors) assess how your spine, hips, and feet may be affecting the knee’s function. If one area is off-balance, the knee often takes the load. A small muscle called the popliteus can often give quick relief once corrected and allow stairs to be scaled again and walking downstairs can be a significant and painful problem if this area is in need of correction.
Our care plans are designed to gently restore joint movement and support better biomechanics. We may recommend adjustments to the spine or pelvis, soft tissue therapy, or light rehab strategies depending on your comfort level and injury history.
Keeping You Active
Our goal is to help you get moving again – safely and confidently. As the knee rebalances, many people notice less stiffness, greater mobility, and reduced swelling or clicking. With the right support, you can return to the activities you enjoy and lower your risk of future flare-ups.
