When most people think of chiropractic care, they picture spinal adjustments for back or neck pain. But here’s a surprise: chiropractic can also be a powerful tool in relieving knee pain—without drugs, injections, or surgery. At our Stamford practice, we see many patients who are shocked at how much better their knees feel after a full-body chiropractic evaluation and treatment plan.

The Knee-Spine Connection

Your body is a connected chain—from head to toe. When one part is misaligned or not functioning properly, it can put extra stress on other areas. That includes your knees.

Common contributors to knee pain include:

Pelvic or hip misalignment

Uneven leg length

Poor posture or gait mechanics

Flat feet or overpronation

Weak core or glutes

Previous injuries (even old ones!)

If your spine or pelvis is out of alignment, your knees may be working harder to compensate, leading to strain, inflammation, and discomfort.

What Knee Conditions Can Chiropractic Help?

Dr. Ilan Burstein, DC, often treats patients dealing with:

Runner’s knee (patellofemoral pain syndrome)

Arthritis or joint degeneration

Tendonitis or bursitis

IT band syndrome

Post-surgical or post-injury stiffness

"Mysterious" knee pain with no clear diagnosis

By improving joint mechanics and restoring proper movement patterns, many of these issues can be managed naturally—with less pain and better mobility.

Our Whole-Body Healing Approach

At our Stamford office, we don’t just focus on the knee itself. We look at how your entire musculoskeletal system is working together.

Your care plan may include:

Gentle spinal and extremity adjustments

Acupuncture to reduce pain and inflammation

Custom exercises to strengthen supporting muscles

Posture and gait correction

Manual therapy for tight or imbalanced muscles

This comprehensive approach not only helps reduce current pain—it also prevents future flare-ups by correcting the underlying cause.

Don't Ignore Your Knee Pain

If your knee pain is keeping you from walking comfortably, exercising, or enjoying daily life, don’t wait until it gets worse. Chiropractic care might be the solution you haven’t tried yet.
