Understanding Hip & Knee Pain
What Causes Hip & Knee Pain?
Hip and knee pain can come from the joints themselves — through wear and tear, arthritis, cartilage issues, or bursitis — or it can be referred pain from elsewhere in the body. Restricted joints in the lumbar spine, pelvic imbalance, and SI joint dysfunction commonly contribute to lower extremity pain that doesn’t respond to treatment focused only on the affected joint.
Common causes include osteoarthritis, IT band syndrome, hip bursitis, patellofemoral pain syndrome, meniscus issues, sports injuries, repetitive strain from running or cycling, muscle imbalances, and gait problems. Hip and knee issues are often linked — pain in one frequently affects the other due to compensation patterns.
At Full Potential Chiropractic, we take a thorough history and perform a comprehensive examination to identify the exact cause of your symptoms before recommending any treatment. Chiropractic care offers a natural, non-invasive approach that addresses the root cause — not just the symptoms.
