Knee Pain Holding You Back From Running or Walking?
Have you been wanting to go for a run—or even just a walk—but chronic knee pain keeps stopping you?
Maybe you planned to run a couple of miles but hesitated because you were worried your knee would flare up.
Or maybe you wanted to walk that steep hill in your neighborhood to get extra steps, but you feared you’d regret it halfway down.
Whatever the situation, you haven’t been able to move with confidence.
If you’re experiencing knee pain during or after running or walking, you’re not alone—and this is for you.
What Most People Don’t Realize: Knee Pain Isn’t Always a Knee Problem
One of the most common causes of knee pain with running or walking doesn’t actually start in the knee.
Often, the real issue comes from:
Tight hip flexors
Weak or inactive glutes
IT band tension
Poor pelvic or hip alignment
When these areas aren’t functioning properly, the knee is forced to absorb stress it was never designed to handle.
This is why runners and walkers often experience:
Runner’s knee
IT band syndrome
Knee pain when running hills
Pain that appears after a few miles
Knee stiffness or pain when going downstairs
The good news? Chiropractic care can help address the root cause.
How Chiropractic Care Helps Relieve Knee Pain
At Avant Chiropractic, we don’t just treat symptoms—we look at how your entire body moves.
Our approach to knee pain focuses on:
Hip alignment (especially important for runners and walkers)
Pelvic balance and stability
Glute activation and strength
Reducing tension in the IT band and hip flexors
Improving gait and movement patterns
Restoring proper motion in the knee joint
When the hips and pelvis are moving correctly, your knee no longer has to be the shock absorber for everything above it.
