Knee Pain Relief in Bedford, TX

Healthcare services imageYour knees absorb a massive amount of force with every step you take. When they are hurting, simple daily activities—like walking up a flight of stairs, kneeling to pick something up, or even just standing from a chair—can become agonizing. Many people assume their only options for knee pain are rest, cortisone shots, or eventual surgery.

At Anthony Paternoster, D.C., PLLC, we help Bedford residents uncover the biomechanical root of their knee pain and treat it naturally, so you can get back to your active life.

Can a Chiropractor Really Help with Knee Pain?

It is a common misconception that chiropractic care is only for the spine. In reality, your body operates as a connected kinetic chain. Your knee is a hinge joint caught between two highly mobile areas: your hips and your ankles. If your pelvis is out of alignment or if you have an issue in your lower back, it directly alters your gait. This imbalance forces one knee to bear more weight and stress than it was designed to handle, leading to accelerated wear and tear. By evaluating your entire structure, we don't just treat the symptom in your knee—we correct the underlying imbalance causing it.

    Common Causes of Knee Pain We Treat

    Knee pain can stem from an acute injury or develop gradually over time. We frequently help patients dealing with:
    • Referred Pain: Misalignments in the lumbar spine or a pinched sciatic nerve can radiate pain directly into the knee.
    • Osteoarthritis: Joint degeneration and cartilage wear, often accelerated by poor structural alignment.
    • Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome ("Runner’s Knee"): A dull ache around or under the kneecap, typically caused by repetitive stress or improper tracking of the kneecap.
    • Overuse and Sprains: Minor strains to the ligaments or meniscus from sports, heavy lifting, or sudden twisting motions.

    How We Restore Knee Function

    When you visit our Bedford clinic, Dr. Paternoster evaluates your lower back, pelvis, hips, knees, and ankles to see how they are working together. Treatment may include specific extremity adjustments directly to the knee joint to restore proper motion and alignment. We also adjust the spine and pelvis to ensure your weight is distributed evenly across your lower body. Combined with targeted soft tissue work to relieve tight muscles pulling on the joint, this approach reduces inflammation and promotes natural healing.
