Knee pain can be frustrating and limiting. For some, it shows up as sharp pain when climbing stairs or squatting. For others, it’s stiffness, swelling, or aching that makes walking, exercising, or even standing uncomfortable. Left untreated, knee pain can affect your mobility and keep you from staying active.
​
At Move Chiropractic in Angier, Dr. David Carter provides safe and effective care to help patients find relief from knee pain and restore normal function. Our goal is to get you moving comfortably again so you can enjoy the activities you love.
​
Common Causes of Knee Pain
​
Knee pain can develop from many different conditions, including:
​
-
Sports injuries and overuse
-
Sprains, strains, or ligament injuries
-
Arthritis and degeneration
-
Meniscus tears
-
Poor posture or gait imbalances
-
Issues in the hips, ankles, or low back that affect knee mechanics
Because the knee is part of a larger system of joints and muscles, problems elsewhere in the body can also contribute to knee pain. That’s why a whole-body approach is important.
​
How Move Chiropractic Helps with Knee Pain
​
Dr. Carter uses chiropractic adjustments to improve alignment in the spine, hips, and knees, reducing stress on the joints and improving overall function. By restoring balance, chiropractic care helps decrease pain, improve mobility, and support healing.
​
Your care plan may also include stretching, strengthening, or supportive therapies to stabilize the knee and help prevent future flare-ups.
