Helping You Stay Active and Move with Confidence

Knee pain can make some of life's simplest activities difficult. Whether you're walking, climbing stairs, exercising, golfing, running, squatting, or simply getting up from a chair, knee discomfort can quickly impact your ability to stay active and enjoy everyday life.

At Depretis Chiropractic and Total Wellness, we evaluate and treat a wide range of knee conditions by identifying the underlying cause of your symptoms and developing an individualized treatment plan designed to improve mobility, reduce pain, and restore function.

Whether your pain developed from a sports injury, arthritis, overuse, or years of wear and tear, understanding why it's happening is the first step toward lasting relief.

Common Causes of Knee Pain

Knee pain can develop for many different reasons, including:

• ✓Arthritis
• ✓Meniscus injuries
• ✓Ligament injuries
• ✓Tendonitis
• ✓Tendinopathy
• ✓Patellar tracking issues
• ✓Sports injuries
• ✓Overuse injuries
• ✓Joint dysfunction
• ✓Mobility restrictions
• ✓Muscle imbalances

Because the knee functions as part of a larger movement system, problems involving the hips, ankles, and surrounding muscles can often contribute to ongoing symptoms.

Why Does Knee Pain Keep Coming Back?

Many patients experience temporary relief only to find their pain returns when they resume normal activities.

This often happens because the underlying factors contributing to the problem have not been fully addressed.

Common contributors include:

• ✓Poor movement mechanics
• ✓Joint restrictions
• ✓Muscle weakness
• ✓Limited mobility
• ✓Tendon irritation
• ✓Repetitive stress
• ✓Activity related overload

Addressing these factors is often an important part of achieving long term improvement.

How We Evaluate Knee Pain

Every patient receives a comprehensive evaluation before treatment recommendations are made.

Depending on your symptoms, this may include:

• ✓Orthopedic testing
• ✓Range of motion evaluation
• ✓Functional movement assessment
• ✓Strength testing
• ✓Gait analysis
• ✓Digital X-rays when clinically appropriate

The goal is to determine exactly what structures are involved and why symptoms are occurring.
