Knee Pain Treatment in Overland Park

Knee pain treatment at Move Muscle & Joint in Overland Park goes beyond the knee. We evaluate hip mechanics, ankle mobility, and lower extremity strength to find the movement dysfunctions that are stressing your knee — then build an integrated treatment plan to resolve them.

Understanding

What is knee pain?

Knee pain can involve the patellofemoral joint, meniscus, ligaments, tendons, or surrounding soft tissue. It may present as pain with squatting, stairs, running, or simply walking. Because the knee sits between the hip and ankle, it's often the victim — not the cause — of dysfunction above or below.

Symptoms

Common signs and symptoms.

Pain with squatting, lunging, or stairs
Swelling or stiffness around the knee
Clicking, locking, or giving way
Pain during or after running or walking
Difficulty kneeling or sitting cross-legged
Pain that worsens with impact or loading
Root Causes

Why this happens.

Knee pain often results from hip weakness, poor ankle mobility, faulty landing mechanics, muscle imbalances, and overuse without adequate recovery. Training errors, sudden increases in activity, and lack of strength are common contributors.

Our Evaluation

How Move evaluates this condition.

Our knee pain evaluation includes joint assessment, hip and ankle mobility testing, lower extremity strength screening, gait analysis, and functional movement evaluation. We look at the full chain to understand why the knee is being stressed.

Treatment

Our integrated treatment approach.

Treatment may include chiropractic adjustments for the knee, hip, and pelvis, myofascial release for the quadriceps, IT band, and calf, and progressive lower extremity rehab focused on hip strengthening, single-leg stability, and proper loading mechanics.

For tendon-related knee conditions like patellar tendinopathy, shockwave therapy may be incorporated to support tissue healing.
