Knee Pain
Knee pain is rarely just a knee problem. It's usually a sign of pelvic or lumbar spine misalignment.
The Spine-Knee Connection
Your knees are the foundation of your lower body movement. But they're only as stable as your pelvis and lower back. When your pelvis is unleveled or your lumbar spine is misaligned (a Structural Shift), it creates abnormal stress and pressure on your knees. This leads to pain, swelling, and degeneration.
Many people treat knee pain with braces, injections, or surgery, only to find the pain returns or worsens. Why? Because the underlying structural problem in the pelvis and lower back was never corrected.
How Pelvic Alignment May Affect the Knee
Think of your body like a building. If the foundation (your pelvis) is unleveled or shifted, the entire structure above it is thrown off balance. This causes abnormal stress distribution through your legs and knees.
Common structural findings that may contribute to knee pain include:
- • Pelvic Tilt or Unleveling: Creates uneven weight distribution on the knees
- • Lumbar Misalignment: Shifts in the lower back affect hip and knee mechanics
- • Short Leg Syndrome: Structural leg length discrepancy creates chronic pelvic stress
- • Loss of Lumbar Curve: Flattening of the lower back curve increases knee stress
Our Structural Correction Approach
- •Full-Body Structural Analysis: We measure your pelvic alignment, lumbar curve, and leg length to identify measurable structural contributors.
- •Pelvic Correction: Specific adjustments to level your pelvis and restore proper alignment.
- •Lower Extremity Stabilization: Exercises to strengthen the supporting muscles and restore normal knee mechanics.
