Condition
Knee Pain
A non-surgical approach to chronic knee pain.
Common signs & symptoms
What patients notice with chronic knee pain.
Knee pain can come from many sources — cartilage changes, old injuries, ligament or meniscus problems, muscle imbalance, inflammation, or referred pain from the hip and spine. Our approach begins with an individualized evaluation of your symptoms, joint mobility, movement, and clinical findings to help guide an appropriate care plan.
- Pain with stairs, kneeling, or the first steps in the morning
- Stiffness after sitting for long periods
- Swelling that comes and goes with activity
- Grinding, catching, or clicking in the joint
- Instability or a feeling that the knee may give way
- Reduced walking distance and activity tolerance
Contributing factors
What can contribute to knee pain.
Common underlying factors
- Cartilage thinning from decades of compression and impact
- Old injuries (meniscus, ligament, kneecap) that never fully resolved
- Muscle imbalances at the hip and ankle that overload the knee
- Low-grade inflammation in and around the joint
- Excess load on the joint from weight or daily activity demands
Chronic knee pain usually involves more than one factor — mechanical loading, joint mobility, stability, and inflammation together. Care that addresses only one of them often plateaus.

In their own words
What a patient with knee pain had to say.
My orthopedist said replacement was my only option. Dr. Stuckey, D.C. gave me a plan instead. I'm back on the golf course and down the stairs without bracing — no surgery, no cortisone.
