Knee Pain Relief in North York
Knee pain can be frustrating when it gets in the way of everyday activities like walking, climbing stairs, or enjoying your favourite sport. Whether the discomfort comes on suddenly after an injury or has been building gradually, it can affect your mobility, mood, and overall quality of life.
Common Causes of Knee Pain
There are many possible contributors to knee discomfort. It may result from ligament or tendon strain, irritation of the cartilage, arthritis, or overuse. In some cases, the problem is not in the knee itself. Imbalances in the hips, pelvis, lower back, or feet can place extra stress on the knees. Poor posture, repetitive movements, and muscle imbalances may also add to the strain over time.
A Whole Body Approach
In Ontario, chiropractors are trained to assess, diagnose, and help manage musculoskeletal conditions, including knee pain. North York chiropractor Dr. Stacey Smith looks at how the joints and muscles throughout the body work together. This wider perspective is important because improving the way your body moves can often reduce the load on the knees and help them function more comfortably.
“When I meet someone with knee pain, I take the time to understand how their whole body is moving. By addressing the contributing factors and providing supportive strategies, I want people to feel more confident and comfortable in their daily activities,” emphasizes Dr. Stacey.
What to Expect During Your Visit
Your first appointment will include a detailed health history and a gentle physical assessment. Dr. Stacey will work to identify possible causes and contributing factors. If your knee discomfort appears related to joint restrictions, muscle tension, or mobility issues, chiropractic adjustments and supportive techniques may be recommended. The goal is to restore proper movement and reduce irritation in the surrounding tissues.
Moving Forward With Confidence
Along with hands-on care, your personalized plan may include exercises for strength and flexibility, posture guidance, and lifestyle suggestions to reduce strain and prevent flare ups. Some people notice that as their alignment improves, their knees feel more stable and flexible. Others also experience benefits in related areas, such as reduced discomfort in the hips or lower back.
