Understanding Knee Arthritis
Knee arthritis is a common condition, especially as we age, and it can lead to stiffness, swelling, and pain that limits mobility. The most common form is osteoarthritis, caused by wear and tear of the cartilage that cushions the joint. Without proper care, arthritis can significantly affect independence and quality of life.
Symptoms of Knee Arthritis
- Morning stiffness or pain after sitting for long periods
- Swelling or tenderness around the knee
- Grinding or clicking sensations when moving the joint
How Chiropractic Care Helps Arthritis

- Gentle knee adjustments to improve mobility
- Spinal and hip adjustments to support proper alignment and reduce knee strain

- Lifestyle advice, including diet and activity modifications, to support joint health
Self-Management for Knee Arthritis
- Stay active with low-impact exercises such as walking, swimming, or cycling

- Use supportive footwear and orthotics if needed
