Your knee hurts. Walking hurts. Stairs? Forget it. Maybe it started gradually, maybe after an injury. Rest, ice, knee braces – tried them all. Nothing works.
Knee pain ruins everything – can’t exercise, work sucks, daily stuff becomes a chore.
We do knee pain chiropractic therapy in Denver that actually looks at the whole picture. We check your feet, your hips, everything. Often, your feet are the real problem.
Your knee doesn’t work alone. It’s part of a chain – feet, ankles, knees, hips, pelvis, spine. One part breaks down, the others pick up the slack.
Bad feet are one of the most common causes of knee pain. Here’s why:
Pronation (Feet Roll Inward) When your feet pronate too much, ankles roll in, lower leg rotates internally, knee twists inward. Creates abnormal stress on the inside of your knee.
Over time, too much pronation causes:
Supination (Feet Roll Outward) When your feet supinate too much, ankles roll out, lower leg rotates externally, knee twists outward. Creates stress on the outside of your knee.
Too much supination causes:
Flat Feet Flat feet usually mean pronation. No arch support means the foot collapses inward, messing with everything above it.
High Arches High arches usually mean supination. Rigid feet don’t absorb shock, transferring excessive force to knees.
The problem: Most people with knee pain never look at their feet. They treat the knee and wonder why it keeps hurting.
We don’t just adjust your knee and wave goodbye. We fix the whole chain.
We check:
Patients from Cherry Creek, Park Hill, Highlands – active Denver people who want real answers.
For most knee pain patients, proper foot support is key.
High-Quality OTC Orthotics For lots of patients, a good OTC orthotic works great. Professional-grade – not drugstore garbage. They control pronation or supination, support arches, improve knee alignment.
We carry different types for different foot types, activity levels, shoes. Works for most people, costs less.
Custom Foot Orthotics For patients with worse foot problems, complex stuff, or those who didn’t get better with OTC orthotics, we do custom.
Custom orthotics are made for YOUR feet from a 3D scan. Precise correction of pronation/supination, arch support built for your foot, targeted pressure relief.
Cost more but way better support for complicated feet. Some knee pain patients need these.
Here’s where we do something most chiropractors don’t:
Standing Hip X-Rays WITH Orthotics After we fit you with orthotics (OTC or custom), we take standing x-rays of your hips and pelvis while you’re WEARING the orthotics.
Why? Orthotics change how your body works. They level your foundation. But sometimes they need tweaking.
X-rays show us:
Tweaking Based on X-Rays If x-rays show persistent problems, we modify the orthotics. Maybe one side needs a slight heel lift. Maybe arch support needs adjustment. Maybe the tilt correction needs tweaking.
This ensures your feet are actually supported right, which fixes your knee pain.
Most places fit orthotics and cross their fingers. We check with x-rays and modify. This is why our stuff works when other places fail.
Once feet are handled, we treat the knee and related stuff:
Knee Adjustments Get the knee joint moving right. Improve kneecap tracking. Reduce restrictions. Gentle treatment specific to knee problems.
Ankle and Foot Adjustments Even with orthotics, ankle and foot joints sometimes need adjusting.
Hip and Pelvis Adjustments Hip problems often show up as knee pain. Tight hips, weak glutes, pelvis out of whack – all mess with your knee.
Lower Back and SI Joint Problems here send pain down your leg and change how you walk, which affects knees.
Capitol Hill to Aurora patients get full treatment addressing everything.
Muscle Release Tight IT band, quads, hamstrings, calves all pull on the knee. We release them with:
Common in Wash Park runners and Highlands cyclists who get chronically tight.
Knee-Specific Work Patellar tendon, MCL/LCL areas, hamstring/quad attachments. Reduces inflammation, improves tissue quality.
For knee pain from joint compression, arthritis, cartilage problems, we do knee decompression. Gentle traction and mobilization that:
Works great for arthritis patients and chronic knee compression. Non-invasive.
Glute Strengthening Weak glutes everywhere. Sitting all day shuts them off. Weak glutes mean your knee compensates. We give you exercises to wake them up.
Downtown and Capitol Hill desk workers need this bad.
Quad and Hamstring Balance Often one overpowers the other. We balance them out with targeted exercises.
Foot and Ankle Strengthening Orthotics support your feet, but muscles still need to work. Exercises that work with the orthotics.
Balance Work Teach your knee to stabilize. Reduces re-injury risk.
Gait Retraining If you walk wrong, even the best orthotics won’t fully fix your knees. We fix your walking pattern.
Exercise Modifications Don’t have to stop exercising. We help you modify while healing. Different shoes, different surfaces, different techniques.
Ergonomic Stuff Sitting position, standing breaks, workspace setup. Big deal for Denver metro office workers.
Runner’s Knee Kneecap doesn’t track right. Pain around or behind kneecap. Super common in Cherry Creek Trail and Wash Park runners.
Often from pronated feet creating inward knee rotation. Orthotics realign knee, chiropractic therapy fixes joint mechanics, exercises strengthen stabilizers.
IT Band Syndrome Pain on outside of knee. Common in runners and cyclists. IT band gets tight and rubs on the outside knee bone.
We release IT band, adjust hip (often the real problem), fix foot mechanics (supination often contributes), give strengthening exercises.
Meniscus Issues Cartilage tears or degeneration. Clicking, locking, pain with twisting.
Can’t repair torn meniscus, but we can reduce pain and improve function. Lots of patients avoid surgery with proper correction.
Arthritis Wear and tear. Joint degeneration. Morning stiffness, pain with activity.
Can’t reverse it, but we slow it down and reduce pain. Proper foot support reduces stress on arthritic knees. Regular chiropractic maintains mobility. Many patients reduce meds.
Patellar Tendinitis Patellar tendon inflammation. From jumping, running, overuse.
Soft tissue work, address causes (often foot mechanics), reduce inflammation, strengthening exercises.
MCL/LCL Sprains Ligament sprains from injury or chronic stress. Don’t treat acute tears (that’s orthopedic), but we help chronic ligament pain and rehab after injury.
Chondromalacia Patella Cartilage softening under kneecap. Grinding, pain, especially with stairs.
Usually from bad kneecap tracking. We correct tracking through foot orthotics, knee adjustments, muscle balancing, exercises. Stop the abnormal wear.
Post-Surgical Knee Pain Had knee surgery but still hurts? Scar tissue, muscle weakness, altered mechanics. Chiropractic helps post-surgical recovery.
Lots of Lakewood to Aurora patients recovering from knee surgeries.
We Fix the Cause Treating just the knee usually fails because the knee is the victim. Messed up feet are often the real problem. We fix the foundation.
Fix Everything Feet, knees, hips, pelvis, spine – we address the whole chain. This is why our stuff lasts.
Precision Orthotic Fitting The x-ray step sets us apart. We don’t guess – we verify and modify. Your feet get supported right, which means your knees get supported right.
Proven Stuff We use techniques that work. Chiropractic adjustments, soft tissue work, orthotics, exercise – all backed by research.
Customized Your knee pain is yours. Your feet are yours. Your mechanics are yours. We treat you, not some generic protocol.
We Teach You We explain why your feet affect your knees. Understanding helps you stick with treatment.
