Knee Pain Treatment in Burien, WA

Natural Relief and Long-Term Support Through CBP® Chiropractic Care

Your knees are essential for movement, stability, and independence. From climbing stairs and walking to athletic performance, your knees carry a heavy load every single day. Unfortunately, they are also one of the most vulnerable joints in the body. Knee pain is the second most common cause of chronic pain, and it affects nearly one in three Americans at some point in life.

At Burien Wellness, we believe “You Were Born To Be Healthy”, and that includes strong, balanced, and pain-free knees. Our Chiropractic BioPhysics® (CBP®) approach focuses on correcting structural imbalances, restoring mobility, and preventing long-term joint degeneration without relying on drugs or surgery.

Understanding Knee Pain

Knee pain is not only common, but it can also significantly limit your ability to live an active, healthy lifestyle. Women tend to be more affected than men due to natural anatomical differences, such as a wider pelvis, weaker supporting leg muscles, and hormonal influences that reduce ligament strength.

Obesity also plays a major role. For every extra pound of body weight, your knees absorb about four pounds of additional stress. Over time, this leads to wear, degeneration, and chronic discomfort.

With more than 1 million knee replacement surgeries performed annually in the U.S., many cases could have been prevented with early, conservative care. We help patients protect their knees before surgical intervention becomes the only option.

Causes of Knee Pain

Knee pain can come from a wide range of injuries and conditions. Common causes include:

  • ACL Injuries – Often involve a sudden popping sensation followed by instability.
  • Meniscus Tears – Cause swelling, stiffness, and pain when bearing weight.
  • Bursitis – Results from prolonged kneeling, repeated impact, or arthritis.
  • Patellar Tendinitis (Jumper’s Knee) – Common among athletes in jumping or running sports.
  • Arthritis – Osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and gout each affect knee joints differently, causing pain, stiffness, and loss of mobility.
  • Runner’s Knee – Pain around or behind the kneecap from overuse or poor alignment.

Chiropractic Solutions for Knee Pain

We don’t just mask the pain; we identify and correct the underlying cause. Our CBP®-based care looks at the body as a whole, ensuring your knees, hips, spine, and ankles are aligned and functioning in balance.

Chiropractic Adjustments

Gentle adjustments to the knees, spine, hips, and ankles restore balance and symmetry. This relieves nerve pressure, reduces inflammation, and improves joint mobilization. Better mobility helps slow arthritis progression and enhances overall joint health.

Corrective Spinal Traction & Posture Care

Because the knees are directly affected by spinal and hip alignment, correcting posture through CBP® traction reduces uneven stress on the knees and improves weight distribution across the lower body.

Therapeutic Exercise Programs

Strengthening and stretching the muscles and ligaments surrounding the knees is essential for long-term stability. Our doctors design customized exercise programs you can do at home to improve strength, balance, and joint function.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can chiropractic care really help knee pain?

Yes. By restoring spinal and joint alignment, chiropractic care reduces uneven stress on the knees and improves overall mobility. CBP® methods focus on long-term correction, making it an effective solution for both pain relief and prevention.

Do you adjust the knee directly, or just the spine?

Both. We assess your whole body. Adjustments may include the knees, hips, ankles, and spine to ensure full-body balance and stability.

How long does it take to notice improvement in knee pain?

Many patients feel relief within a few visits, especially for mobility-related pain. Chronic or degenerative conditions may require a longer corrective care plan for lasting results.

Can chiropractic help prevent knee replacement surgery?

While not all cases can be prevented, conservative chiropractic care often reduces stress on the joints, improves alignment, and slows degeneration—helping many patients avoid or delay surgical intervention.

Is chiropractic safe for arthritis in the knee?

Yes. Gentle adjustments and corrective exercises improve joint function, reduce stiffness, and help manage arthritis symptoms without invasive treatments.
