Why Your Knee Hurts (and Why It’s Probably Not Your Knee’s Fault!)
Why Your Knee Hurts (and Why It’s Probably Not Your Knee’s Fault!)

Ever feel like your knee just doesn’t trust you anymore? One minute you’re running hills around Lake Minnetonka or crushing your WOD at the gym — and the next, your knee is barking like you’ve aged 40 years overnight.

Here’s the thing: your knee might not actually be the problem. It’s usually the victim of what’s happening above (the hip) or below (the ankle). At Minnesota Movement Chiropractic & Sports Rehab in Excelsior, we see this all the time — athletes, golfers, runners, and weekend warriors dealing with stubborn knee pain that keeps coming back no matter how much they stretch, foam roll, or ice it.

If that sounds familiar, you’re in the right place. We’ll help you figure out why your knee’s angry, fix the real cause, and get you back to doing what you love — pain-free and stronger than before.

(Spoiler: your knee will thank you, and so will your squat form.)

Sports Chiropractic vs. Physical Therapy for Shoulder Pain: What's the difference?!
Sports Chiropractic vs. Physical Therapy for Shoulder Pain: What's the difference?!

If you’ve ever had shoulder pain, you know it’s one of those things that makes everything annoying. Brushing your teeth? Hurts. Putting on a shirt? Hurts. Trying to impress your friends with your overhead press PR? Definitely hurts.

Here’s the thing: the shoulder is an insanely mobile joint — which is great when you’re serving an ace or hitting a drive down the fairway, but not so great when the smallest imbalance throws the whole system off. And that’s exactly why shoulder pain is one of the most common things we see at Minnesota Movement.

Now, you might be wondering, “Should I see a chiropractor or a physical therapist for shoulder pain?” Read the full blog to find out!

Runner’s Knee and Jumper’s Knee
Runner’s Knee and Jumper’s Knee

It is difficult to pinpoint the direct cause of runner’s knee. In its basic form, runner’s knee occurs when that precious cartilage under your kneecap breaks down and is worn to the point where it is no longer protective, causing pain. Or, it can happen because your gait or biomechanics are off causing uneven tracking of the patella and resulting in uneven wear and tear. You may develop it because of an injury but the biggest culprit is overuse. You will notice knee pain during even the simplest activities like using stairs, squatting, and kneeling. So for those of you who live an active lifestyle, pay close attention to your knees.

There's PURPOSE to your PAIN
There's PURPOSE to your PAIN

Most people are chasing the wrong goal.

Pain-free shouldn’t be the destination. Being free from pain should be.

Living ‘pain-free’ implies perfection. No tension. No tightness. No discomfort. Nothing.
I know what you’re thinking - “wouldn’t that be nice?!” No. It wouldn’t.
