Knee Pain Treatment in New Braunfels, TX
Knee pain is rarely just a knee problem. The knee sits between the hip and ankle, and dysfunction in either one often shows up as pain in the joint between them. At Elite Chiropractic & Wellness, we evaluate the whole kinetic chain to find out what's actually driving your knee pain.
What Causes Knee Pain?
Common causes we see in New Braunfels patients include:
-
Overuse from running, cycling, or repetitive activity
-
Misalignment in the hip or ankle that changes knee mechanics
-
Ligament or meniscus strain from injury
-
Arthritis-related stiffness and inflammation
-
Muscle imbalances that pull the kneecap out of proper tracking
Pain location often tells us where to look first — pain behind the kneecap points somewhere different than pain on the inside or outside of the joint.
How We Treat It
Treatment depends on what's driving the dysfunction, but typically includes:
-
Hip and ankle adjustments to correct the mechanics feeding into knee stress
-
Soft tissue therapy for the quadriceps, hamstrings, and IT band
-
Therapeutic exercise to correct muscle imbalances and improve knee tracking
-
Activity-specific guidance for runners, cyclists, and athletes looking to return to sport safely
We'll let you know early if your knee pain looks like something requiring imaging or referral to an orthopedic specialist — not every case is a chiropractic case, and we'll tell you honestly when that's true.
