Hip or knee pain
Struggling with Hip or Knee Pain?
Does standing, walking, climbing stairs or even sitting for too long leave you in discomfort?
You’re not alone — and more importantly, you don’t have to just “live with it.”
At Wholesome Health Chiropractic & Well-being Centre, hip and knee problems are issues we regularly support — and we understand how frustrating they can be. Whether it’s a dull ache, stiffness, or sharp twinges with movement, these joint problems can stop you doing the things you enjoy. But with the right care, improvement is possible — without relying solely on medication or invasive procedures.
Common Causes and Contributors to Hip or Knee Pain
The hips and knees are weight-bearing joints that work hard every day — and when things go wrong, they can affect your comfort, balance and confidence.
Discomfort in these areas may stem from:
Poor joint alignment or posture
Overuse or repetitive strain (from sports, walking or work)
Past injuries or falls
Osteoarthritis or age-related wear
Muscular imbalances or tightness
Whether it’s a minor irritation or long-standing joint pain, chiropractic care may help reduce inflammation, improve mobility, and restore healthier movement patterns — so your body can function better overall.
How Chiropractic Treatment Can Help with Hip and Knee Pain
At Wholesome Health, we take a whole-body approach. We don’t just look at the painful joint — we assess how your spine, pelvis, and lower limbs are working together. Often, dysfunction in one area can place excess stress on another.
Unlike conventional treatments that often rely on injections or medications, chiropractic care uses gentle, hands-on adjustments and tailored rehabilitation to improve mobility, reduce inflammation, and support healing in the affected tissues.
We aim to restore ease of movement, reduce discomfort, and get you back to enjoying everyday activities — from walks on Dartmoor to simply getting out of bed comfortably.
The benefits of chiropractic and osteopathy for knee and hip pain
Targeted Pain Relief
Hip and knee pain can arise from restriction and irritation of the joints, nerves and rotator cuff muscles. We aim to restore proper function to these structures, so your body can heal better.
Natural Treatment
All our adjustments use nothing but forces from our hands. We aim to aid the body’s ability to heal by helping the nervous system to work at its best. We understand that medication masks pain, and appreciate how important it is to know how your body is feeling so you can look after it better.
Holistic Approach to Care
We treat your entire body - we understand that your lower back may be sore with hip or knee problems - and pain may even start on the other side- so we treat them as well.
Personalised Care
Long-Term Thinking:
By improving hip, knee and overall lower back function, we aim to help with not only your hip and knee pain, but also to address underlying spinal alignment issues that may have contributed to the problem in the first place. Good joint health is important for aging and living a pain-free life.
Preventative Thinking:
We aim to keep your entire body working at its best - so you have resilience when it comes to day to day stresses. We discuss measures that we can put in place to reduce the risk of your hip and knee pain returning.
