Understanding
Knee Pain:
Expert Knee Pain Treatment in North York, Toronto
The knee is one of the most complex and heavily used joints in the body. It must absorb impact, support body weight, and coordinate movement between the hips and ankles. When strength, alignment, flexibility, or movement mechanics are off, even slightly knee pain often develops.
Many people try to “push through” knee pain or rely on temporary solutions, only to find that the pain keeps coming back. This happens when the underlying cause is never fully addressed.
At our Toronto clinic, we take a whole-body approach to knee pain, assessing how your knee works with your hips, ankles, posture, and movement patterns to create long-term results.
Common Causes of Knee Pain
Our knee pain experts in North York frequently treat knee pain caused by:
-
Sports and overuse injuries
-
Running, jumping, or repetitive strain
-
Muscle weakness or imbalance (hips, glutes, quadriceps)
-
Poor walking, running, or squatting mechanics
-
Joint stiffness or restricted mobility
-
Ligament, cartilage, or meniscus injuries
-
Knee osteoarthritis and degenerative changes
-
Old injuries that were never fully rehabilitated
-
Tight muscles or soft tissue restrictions
Identifying the exact cause of your knee pain is essential for effective treatment and long-term relief.
Why Knee Pain Often Comes Back
Knee pain often becomes chronic or recurring when treatment focuses only on pain relief rather than movement and function.
Knee pain may return when:
-
Supporting muscles remain weak or inactive
-
Joint alignment issues are not corrected
-
Tight muscles continue to restrict motion
-
Scar tissue limits normal movement
-
Faulty movement patterns are never retrained
At Back in Action, our Toronto knee pain treatment plans are designed to stop the cycle of recurring pain by addressing strength, mobility, alignment, and movement control together.

Chiropractic treatment can help:

Enhance coordination between joints and muscles
-
Support long-term knee function and movement efficiency
Our chiropractors work collaboratively with physiotherapists to ensure joint and muscle function are addressed together.

Massage therapy helps:

Reduce tightness in the quadriceps, hamstrings, calves, and IT band

Decrease soreness and inflammation

Break down scar tissue following injury or surgery
