Is your knee pain holding you back from stairs, sports, or just everyday life?

Do you feel like you've tried everything—but nothing provides lasting relief?
And are you still being told that knee pain can only be managed, not solved?

If so, it might be time to rethink what treatment looks like.

In this article we will highlight our custom treatment protocols for knee pain, emphasizing our non-traditional approach. These results aren't coming from standard spinal chiropractic, but from issue-specific care that gets people moving again. Whether it’s walking without pain, conquering stairs, or getting back to the golf course—we’re seeing real results, fast.

Why Knee Pain Needs More Than Just a “Back Crack”

When people hear “chiropractor,” they immediately think: spine. And for good reason—traditional chiropractic care centers on spinal adjustments. But if you’re searching for effective knee pain relief in Ann Arbor, know this: Our knee program is designed to treat the knee itself.

In fact, spinal adjusting isn’t even part of the plan for 98% of our knee patients—unless it’s a separate issue entirely.

We Focus on the Real Root Causes of Knee Pain

Knee pain doesn’t happen in a vacuum. Most of our patients come to us with pain that’s been brushed off as “arthritis” or “wear and tear.” But we dig deeper. Here are the four root causes we actually treat:

1. Mechanical Problems – Joint damage, arthritis, or abnormal spacing can impact how the knee opens, closes, and bears weight.
2. Structural & Movement Issues – Misalignments or poor mechanics from overuse or injury throw off how your knee functions.
3. Muscular Imbalances – Weak or compensating muscles and tendons can lead to chronic inflammation or instability.
4. Neurological Irritation – Swelling and inflammation on the nerves can create sharp, persistent pain—sometimes without any visible damage.

What Makes Our Approach Different?

This isn’t your average “ice and rest” protocol.

Our knee treatment program is built around targeted, high-tech, and customized solutions. Depending on your unique case, we may incorporate:

• Extremity adjustments specific to the knee (not the spine),
• Advanced technology to increase blood flow and coordination,
• Muscle activation protocols to rebuild strength,
• Stretching and mobility tools to improve long-term movement.

The goal is simple: fix the root cause and prevent future pain.

Real People. Real Results.

Just ask Dale, who could barely manage stairs or kneeling at work. After just 12 weeks in our program, he was back to 100%—no pain, no movement restrictions, no problem.

Or Mike, a former athlete, who finished our 8-week plan and got back to golfing and working out—activities he hadn’t been able to enjoy in years.

And in some rare cases, like a new patient named Mike, a spinal adjustment actually did help his knee pain. But that’s because his root cause was in the spine—not the knee itself. That’s why we customize every treatment plan to the individual.

The Bottom Line: Targeted Knee Pain Treatment That Works

You shouldn’t have to settle for temporary fixes or generalized care. If you’re dealing with knee pain in Ann Arbor, our approach is focused, proven, and designed to restore your quality of life—without relying on spinal adjustments unless they’re truly needed.
