Knee Pain Treatment

Your knee is one of the most complex joints in your body. It has to support your weight, absorb impact, and move in multiple directions. When something’s not right, you feel it with every step. Maybe it’s a sharp pain when you bend down. Maybe it’s a dull ache that’s been building for weeks. Maybe it’s stiffness that makes it hard to get up from a chair.
Knee pain can come from many places. Sometimes it’s the knee itself—an injury, overuse, or wear and tear. But sometimes the problem starts somewhere else. When your hips or lower back are out of alignment, it changes how your legs move. This puts extra stress on your knees, which can cause pain. Dr. Duren looks at the whole picture. She checks your spine alignment, sees how you move, and works to understand what’s happening with your knee pain. Then she creates a plan to help your body heal, whether that’s through adjustments, soft tissue work, or a combination of approaches.
Why choose us for knee pain relief?
Knee pain isn’t always about the knee itself. Sometimes the issue starts in your spine or hips. Dr. Duren looks at the whole picture to understand what’s happening with your pain.
She looks at the whole picture
Dr. Duren doesn’t just focus on your knee. She checks your spine alignment, sees how your hips move, and looks at how your whole body works together. When your spine or hips are out of alignment, it changes how your legs move, which can put extra stress on your knees. By restoring proper alignment, she helps reduce the pain and support your body’s natural healing.
A plan that fits your life
Every person’s knee pain is different. A runner’s knee pain is different from someone who sits all day. A construction worker’s knee pain is different from someone who’s been sedentary. Dr. Duren creates a treatment plan that’s tailored to your specific condition, your lifestyle, and your goals.
Your path to knee pain relief
Knee pain relief doesn’t always happen overnight, but with the right approach, you can see improvement and get back to the activities you love.
understanding what’s happening
01
Dr. Duren begins by understanding your knee pain—when it started, what makes it better or worse, how it affects your daily life. She’ll check your spine alignment, see how you move, and look for patterns. Is it the knee itself? Or is something in your spine or hips affecting how your legs move? Understanding what’s happening helps her create a treatment plan that supports your body’s natural healing.
restoring proper alignment
02
If your knee pain is related to spinal misalignment or hip issues, Dr. Duren helps restore proper alignment through gentle adjustments. This takes pressure off your knees and helps them function the way they’re supposed to. If the issue is in the knee itself, she uses soft tissue work and other techniques to help your body heal naturally.
restoring function and preventing future problems
03
The goal isn’t just pain relief—it’s helping you move better and preventing future problems. When your body is aligned correctly, your knees don’t have to work harder than they should. This means less pain and better mobility long-term.
