Knee Pain Treatment in Prineville

Knee pain can limit the activities you enjoy most, whether that’s walking, kneeling, or simply climbing stairs comfortably.

It’s often blamed entirely on the knee itself, but the real cause frequently lies elsewhere along the leg.

Why the Knee Rarely Works Alone

The knee is a hinge caught between the ball joint of the hip above and the ankle below. When the pelvis, hip, or foot mechanics are off, the knee absorbs the abnormal forces, which is why many knee problems actually begin with poor foot mechanics, hip weakness, pelvic imbalance, or altered walking patterns.

A Whole Chain Approach to Lasting Relief

Dr. Hanes examines the joints above and below the knee, including the hips, pelvis, and feet, to identify alignment issues, movement patterns, and muscle imbalances that may be adding stress. For arthritic knees, this broader approach may help improve mobility and stability and, in some cases, delay the need for surgery.

Frequently Asked Questions

How quickly can I expect relief?

Most knee pain improves within two to four weeks of care, with many patients noticing a difference in the first few visits. Arthritic knees typically improve more gradually over four to eight weeks and do best with ongoing maintenance.

What if I’ve been told it’s just arthritis?

Get a second opinion that includes an assessment of your hips, pelvis, and feet. Your knee is one part of a functional chain that needs proper alignment and motion all along the biomechanical chain from your foot to your spine.

Get to the Real Cause of Your Knee Pain

If your knee pain hasn’t improved with rest, medication, or general exercise, the real fix may be higher up the chain. Contact Hanes Chiropractic Wellness Center to get a full assessment of your hips, pelvis, and feet, and find out what’s really driving your knee pain.
