Notice dull aches when the weather changes, stiffness in the mornings, or hesitation when crouching, your knees may be trying to tell you something.
These early signs of wear and tear can begin in your 30s, particularly if you:
- Have a physically demanding job
- Play a lot of sport
- Sit for long periods
- Have a history of joint issues
At The Reading Chiropractor, we take a proactive approach to joint health helping patients of all ages stay mobile, pain-free, and active for longer.
Understanding Knee Pain
Knee pain is one of the most common musculoskeletal complaints, second only to back pain. It can result from injury, overuse, poor posture, muscle imbalances, or underlying conditions like osteoarthritis.
Some key facts about the knee:
- It’s a weight-bearing joint, absorbing 1.5x your body weight just while walking
- It depends on strong, coordinated muscle groups (quads, hamstrings, glutes, calves) to stay stable
- Even mild imbalances in the body can put excess stress on the knee joint
Over time, this added stress can wear down cartilage, inflame soft tissues, or trigger chronic pain all of which can limit your movement and quality of life. - Learn more about the knee: Knee Pain can be treated with chiropractic care at the Reading Chiropractor | The Reading Chiropractor
Why Early Prevention Matters
Orthopaedic experts agree: the earlier you support your knee health, the better your long-term mobility. Studies show that taking care of your knees in your 30s and 40s can:
- Reduce the risk of arthritis
- Maintain cartilage health
- Lower your chance of needing knee surgery in later life
- Improve joint stability and balance
Even if you already have knee issues or a formal diagnosis, the right approach can significantly reduce pain and support healing.

How Chiropractic Care Helps
At The Reading Chiropractor, we assess knee problems as part of a full-body picture. Why? Because pain in your knee may not always start there it can result from poor alignment in your spine, pelvis, or even feet.
Our approach to knee care includes:
- Chiropractic adjustments to reduce strain on joints
- Soft tissue therapy to relieve muscle tightness and inflammation
- Postural assessments to uncover imbalances contributing to knee stress
- Mobility support to help you move better and feel stronger
We also work closely with local physiotherapists and fitness professionals to provide integrated support when needed.
