Knee Pain Treatment in Redmond, WA

Knee pain can disrupt your movement, training, or even your daily routine. Whether it’s caused by a recent injury or has developed over time, our team at Eastside Ideal Health provides personalized chiropractic and rehab-based care to help you move pain-free—without injections or surgery.

Common Causes of Knee Pain

The knee is a complex joint influenced by the hips, ankles, and even your spine. Some of the most common conditions we treat include:

• Patellofemoral pain syndrome (runner’s knee)
• Meniscus irritation or early degeneration
• Osteoarthritis and joint space narrowing
• IT band syndrome and lateral tracking
• Tendonitis (patellar or quadriceps)
• Post-surgical stiffness or pain

Signs You Should Seek Treatment

• Knee stiffness or locking after sitting or exercise
• Pain climbing stairs or rising from a seated position
• Popping, clicking, or grinding in the joint
• Instability or sensation of “giving out”
• Swelling or soreness after activity

Our Diagnostic Approach

We begin with a thorough biomechanical assessment to identify the root cause of your knee dysfunction. This includes:

• Functional movement testing (squats, lunges, single-leg control)
• Orthopedic and neurological evaluations
• Palpation and joint mobility testing
• Referral for imaging when necessary

Chiropractic & Rehab Treatments for Knee Pain

We take a full-body approach to knee pain—addressing alignment, soft tissue restrictions, and muscular imbalances. Your personalized treatment plan may include:

• Knee and extremity adjustments to improve joint tracking and movement
• Soft tissue therapy (myofascial release, trigger point work)
• Kinesiology taping for pain relief and proprioceptive support
• Rehabilitation exercises to strengthen glutes, quads, hamstrings, and calves
• Mobility drills for hips and ankles to offload the knee
• Modalities like laser therapy or heat/ice to reduce inflammation

Evidence-Based Recovery

"Manual therapy and exercise are highly effective in managing knee osteoarthritis and patellofemoral pain, especially when targeted at the hip and knee simultaneously."

When to Consider Medical Referral

In most cases, conservative care is highly effective. However, we refer patients to an orthopedic specialist if you experience:

• Severe instability or suspected ligament tear
• Persistent swelling and pain despite treatment
• Signs of infection or systemic joint inflammation

Frequently Asked Questions

Can chiropractic care help knee arthritis?

Yes. We often help patients with mild to moderate arthritis manage pain, improve mobility, and delay the need for injections or surgery.

Is knee cracking or popping a problem?

Not always. If it's not accompanied by pain or swelling, it may be normal. We'll assess whether it's mechanical or symptomatic.

Do I need to stop exercising?

Usually not. We’ll help you modify your movements and build a safe return-to-activity plan based on your goals.
