Get Back to Moving Without Knee Pain
Your knees handle a tremendous amount of stress every day. Pain may develop from an injury, overuse, joint changes, irritated tendons, muscle imbalances or movement patterns that place additional stress on the knee.
Knee pain can also be influenced by the way your hips, feet and lower body work together. That is why simply focusing on the painful area may not always address the factors contributing to the problem.
At Baker Chiropractic, we begin with a detailed evaluation to better understand your symptoms, movement and overall function. Depending on your needs, your care may include chiropractic adjustments, gentle joint mobilization, soft-tissue techniques and targeted exercises for the knee, hips and feet.
Our approach is focused on helping you move better, improve function and support your body's natural ability to recover.
Understand your symptoms, movement and everyday goals with an individualized evaluation.
Understand your symptoms
What Is Knee Pain?
Knee pain is discomfort in or around the knee joint. It can range from mild aching and stiffness to sharper pain that interferes with normal movement.
Knee pain may occur suddenly after an injury or develop gradually over time. Common symptoms include discomfort while walking, climbing stairs, squatting, kneeling or standing up after sitting.
Because knee pain can have different causes, a proper examination can help determine what may be contributing to your symptoms and whether conservative chiropractic care is appropriate.
Is this your pain?
Common Signs of Knee Pain
Knee problems can affect everyday movement in different ways. You may notice:
Seek prompt medical attention if you cannot bear weight, have severe pain, a deformed knee, a locked knee, significant swelling, or fever with redness or warmth around the joint. Pain or swelling in the calf, new numbness or a bluish color below the knee also needs urgent assessment.

What Causes Knee Pain?
Knee pain can come from several structures and movement patterns. Possible contributors include:
Sprains and strains
Twists, falls or sudden changes in direction can strain the ligaments and muscles around the knee.
Tendon irritation
Repeated loading or overuse can irritate the patellar tendon or other tendons around the knee.
Meniscus or cartilage concerns
Meniscus irritation or tears may cause pain, catching, swelling or a feeling that the knee is locking.
Arthritis and joint changes
Changes in the knee joint can contribute to pain, stiffness and reduced movement.
Movement and muscle imbalances
How the hip, knee, foot and ankle work together may affect how forces are distributed through the knee.
Pain referred from elsewhere
In some cases, symptoms felt around the knee may be influenced by the hip, lower back or foot mechanics.
Your examination helps assess whether your knee pain may be related to the joint, muscles, tendons, nerves or a combination—and whether imaging or a medical evaluation should come first.

What You Can Do at Home
Depending on the cause of your knee pain, you may be advised to temporarily reduce painful or high-impact activities, use gentle pain-free range-of-motion movements, and gradually build strength in the knee, hips and core as appropriate. Changes to sitting height or how you use stairs may also help reduce strain. Ice or heat may provide comfort for some people. Ask a healthcare professional which activities are suitable for your situation.

What Research Supports
For many muscle, joint and spine problems, clinical guidelines recommend conservative, non-drug care first. Exercise, staying active and hands-on care may all be part of a plan.
Learn More →
For many muscle, joint and spine conditions, clinical guidelines recommend trying conservative, non-surgical care first, unless there are warning signs.
- Exercise and staying active are a key part of care for most of these conditions.
- Hands-on care, such as chiropractic adjustments, joint mobilisation and soft tissue work, may help some patients, mainly when combined with exercise.
- Imaging such as X-rays or MRI is not needed for everyone. It is used when your exam shows it is likely to change your care.
- The strength of the research differs by condition. For some conditions the evidence is stronger, and for others it is more limited. We explain this honestly when we discuss your plan.
What Our Exam Measures
Depending on your symptoms, your exam may check movement, range of motion, strength, sensation, reflexes and how your symptoms affect daily life. This gives you a clear starting point.
Learn More →
Every assessment at Baker follows four steps: Measure → Explain → Plan → Reassess.
Measure. Based on your needs, your exam may include:
- Your health history, symptoms and goals
- Orthopedic and neurological tests, such as reflexes, strength and sensation
- Range of motion of the affected area
- Muscle strength, comparing both sides
- A posture, movement or walking check
- X-rays, only when your exam shows they are needed
Explain. We go through your findings in plain language and give you a written summary to take home.
Plan. Each part of your plan is linked to something we measured.
Reassess. At set check-points, we repeat key measurements so you can compare your progress with your starting point.
What the Measurement Cannot Tell Us
No single test can explain every cause of pain or predict a recovery time. We read your results together with your history and how you feel day to day.
Learn More →
Measurements help us understand how your body is working, but they have limits:
- An X-ray shows bones and joints. It does not show how much pain you feel.
- Many people have changes on an X-ray or MRI and no pain at all.
- Range-of-motion and strength numbers show how you move and function. They do not measure pain directly.
- A test result or scan is one piece of information. It is not proof that pain is cured.
That's why we never base your care on one test alone. We combine your exam, your history and your own report of how you are doing.
When We Refer to Another Doctor
Some conditions need medical care first. If your symptoms or exam suggest it, we will refer you to the right doctor or specialist.
Read Warning Signs →
We will refer you, or ask you to get medical care, if you have:
- Pain after a serious fall, accident or injury
- Numbness, tingling or weakness that is getting worse
- Fever, unexplained weight loss or a history of cancer
- A joint that is red, hot and swollen
- Severe pain at night or at rest that does not change with position
- Symptoms that are not improving after a fair trial of care
If chiropractic care is not right for your condition, we will tell you honestly. We are also happy to work alongside your medical doctor, physical therapist or specialist.
Get emergency medical care right away for: loss of bladder or bowel control, numbness in the groin or inner thighs, sudden or worsening weakness, a sudden severe headache, chest pain, or trouble speaking, seeing or walking. Do not wait for a chiropractic visit.
Results Vary from Person to Person
Results depend on your condition, how long you have had symptoms, your general health, your activity and how you respond to care. No outcome or recovery time is guaranteed.
Learn More →
Chiropractic care may help appropriately selected patients manage certain muscle, joint and spine symptoms, move better and return to their activities. But every person is different. How quickly you improve can depend on:
- Your condition and how long you have had it
- Your work, activity level and sleep
- Your general health
- How well you can follow your home exercises
Some conditions need medical evaluation or care from more than one provider. That's why we re-check your progress at set points, instead of promising results.
