Climbing and descending stairs creating pain in your knee? Lacking confidence on jumping or turning quickly feeling like your knee will give? Pressure in the knee on straightening? Struggling to get off the floor?
Knee pain affects people of all ages. Kids, athletes, mum’s and dad’s and even the elderly. For some people knee pain stops them in their tracks and is quite life changing. For others knee pain is an annoying entity that seems to drag on and limit their ability to do the things they love.
Like most joint issues, knee pain can be derived from direct trauma or from intrinsic imbalances.
Most of the time direct trauma will usually result in problems that you’ll start to feel immediately. This is often the case with ligaments sprains, tears or ruptures. For many though there is no direct attributable cause, “the pain just seemed to come from nowhere!”
Whilst there are serious causes of knee pain in people of all ages irrelevant of direct injury or not, the majority are simple functional problems that can be sorted out with the right type of care. Since the knee is a half way point between the complexed actions of the foot and the weight of the trunk, problems with foot health can be a major cause of imbalance at the knee.
Long term, simple imbalances can lead to muscular changes which can then result in tendon strains, biomechanical changes of the joints, degeneration and ligament sprains.
The complexity of a joint that seems as simple as the knee requires a thorough assessment to locate the true cause of dysfunction. You’re unique and so is your problem. So a detailed assessment is critical to finding the cause of your problem.
Our team takes an integrative approach to resolving your knee pain. By assessing your structure, neurology and biomechanics we tailor a specific program personalized to your individual needs.

Knee pain is rarely “just a knee problem.”
Common causes include patellofemoral pain syndrome, meniscal irritation, ligament sprain, tendon overload, early arthritic change, muscle imbalance and biomechanical dysfunction from the hip, pelvis, or foot.
We look beyond the joint itself. Using an integrated approach of chiropractic assessments, Applied Kinesiology (AK), physiological assessments and functional neurology, we assess how your brain, muscles and joints are coordinating movement.
If the knee is compensating for weakness or instability elsewhere, treating the knee alone won’t resolve the issue. Our goal is to identify the driver — not just manage symptoms.
Assessing any joint in the human body can be challenging, requiring a great understanding of the integration between joint, muscle, ligament, the nervous system and energy mechanisms.
The knee is a unique joint that often reflects dysfunction from the hip, foot, or even spinal alignment, whilst be greatly affected by fatigue and inflammatory states.
By assessing movement patterns and neurological input, our expert team can determine whether the pain is local or part of a larger compensation pattern.
Yes — especially when pain lingers longer than expected.
Injuries often occur when load exceeds capacity, but the underlying reason is frequently poor mechanics or muscle imbalance, not just a lack of strength. We assess why your body is overloading the knee and correct contributing factors through:
This integrative approach supports recovery while reducing recurrence risk.
Not always.
Imaging is useful in certain situations — such as suspected fracture, significant trauma, or persistent unexplained symptoms. However, many knee conditions are functional rather than structural and do not require immediate imaging.
If we believe imaging or referral is appropriate, we will guide you clearly and promptly.
We focus on conservative, evidence-informed care including:
Our aim is to improve stability, coordination, and resilience, a total integrated approach.
This depends on the duration and severity of your symptoms.
Many patients notice early changes within a few visits, particularly when instability or neuromuscular inhibition is addressed. Chronic or long-standing issues may require a structured correction period.
We provide realistic expectations and track progress carefully so you always know where you stand.
