Whether you’re dealing with runner’s knee, patellofemoral pain, or general stiffness, we’re here to help you move more comfortably. Book your chiropractic consultation and take the first step toward pain-free movement.
Knee pain explained.
Knee pain is common and can come on gradually or suddenly, often linked to activity levels, injuries, or joint-related issues. Here are the key points:
-
Knee pain can result from various factors including sports injuries, overuse, arthritis, or biomechanical imbalances.
Poor hip alignment, tight muscles, and spinal misalignments can create compensatory movement patterns that place excessive stress on your knees.
Age-related wear and tear, previous injuries, and muscle weakness around the knee joint also contribute to discomfort and reduced function.
-
Common symptoms of knee pain include:
Stiffness or tightness around the knee joint
Swelling or soreness after activity
Sharp or aching pain when walking, bending, or climbing stairs
Discomfort after sitting for long periods or first thing in the morning
Reduced range of motion or difficulty fully straightening the knee
Pain that may spread to the hip or ankle
Difficulty with daily activities or exercise

Chiropractic care focuses on improving how your body moves and reducing strain on the knee. We look at posture, joint alignment, and how the hips, pelvis, and spine are working together.
By gently adjusting these areas, we aim to reduce pressure on the knee and support better movement. This can help ease discomfort and improve how the joint functions day to day.
We may also use soft tissue work, stretching, and targeted exercises to support the muscles around the knee and improve stability.
Our goal is to help you move with less pain and more confidence. Alongside treatment, we provide practical advice on movement and habits to help manage symptoms and reduce the risk of future knee issues.
Chiropractic care isn’t just about easing pain, it’s about helping your body move better over time.
Your knee recovery is our priority.
With years of experience, our chiropractic team has supported everyone from athletes to office workers, helping people manage knee pain, improve movement, and reduce the risk of ongoing issues.
At Summit Chiropractic & Health, our chiropractors understand how important it is to move comfortably in everyday life.
Our approach focuses on clear, supportive care for knee pain. Whether you’re recovering from an injury, dealing with ongoing discomfort, or looking to move more freely, we’re here to guide you with a practical and personalised approach.
Knee Chiropractor FAQ
-
Chiropractic treatment for knee pain is a comprehensive approach that looks at both the knee joint and the surrounding structures contributing to your knee problem. This may include assessing how your spine, pelvis, and lower limbs are working together, especially if muscle tension or poor movement patterns are affecting your knee health.
Care often involves a chiropractic adjustment, as well as specific knee adjustment techniques, soft tissue therapy, and corrective exercises to support recovery from a knee injury. This approach helps reduce knee discomfort, restore proper function, and improve overall knee health.
-
Treatment sessions typically last 30 to 45 minutes, depending on your specific knee condition and treatment plan. Your initial consultation may take longer, as we carry out a detailed assessment of your spine, pelvis, and lower limbs to understand the cause of your knee problem or knee injury.
Sessions may include a chiropractic adjustment, knee adjustment techniques, and hands-on therapy to reduce muscle tension and improve movement, helping to ease knee discomfort and support long-term knee health.
-
No referral is required to see a chiropractor for knee pain treatment, so you can book directly for an assessment of your knee problem. However, if you have private health insurance or are seeking treatment under a care plan, your GP may need to provide a referral for rebate purposes.
We’re also happy to work alongside your other healthcare providers to support your recovery from a knee injury, chronic knee pain, or other ongoing knee condition.
-
The number of sessions varies depending on factors like the cause of your knee problem, how long you’ve had symptoms, and the severity of your knee condition. Many patients notice improvement within 3–6 sessions, while more complex or chronic knee pain cases may require ongoing care for the best results.
Your chiropractor will tailor your plan to suit your needs, using a combination of chiropractic adjustment, knee adjustment techniques, and exercises to improve knee health and reduce knee discomfort over time.
-
Yes, chiropractic care can help reduce your risk of future knee injury by addressing underlying imbalances that contribute to poor movement and muscle tension. Treatment focuses on improving alignment, strengthening supporting structures, and maintaining good knee health.
Regular care may include a chiropractic adjustment, knee adjustment techniques, and guided exercises to support long-term joint function and reduce the likelihood of recurring knee problems or chronic knee pain.
-
Your first visit includes a detailed health history, discussion of your knee discomfort, and a thorough physical examination of your spine and lower limbs. We’ll assess your movement patterns to identify any contributing factors to your knee problem, including signs of muscle tension or imbalance.
From there, we’ll develop a personalised plan to support your recovery from a knee injury or ongoing knee condition. This may include a chiropractic adjustment, knee adjustment techniques, and practical strategies to improve knee health and manage chronic knee pain if present.
