Knee Pain Treatment in Pompano Beach
Knee pain does not always mean something serious, but it should not be ignored. As the body changes over time, the knee often feels the impact first. Stiffness, soreness, or reduced movement can develop gradually without a clear injury.
At Graceful Pompano Beach Chiropractic, knee pain care is guided by a collaborative clinical approach. Dr. Michael Cohen, along with Dr. Susan Lee and Dr. Julia Sopira, has treated 800+ patients in Pompano Beach with knee pain related to movement dysfunction, joint stress, and alignment problems. Care focuses on understanding how the knee works with the spine, hips, ankles, and overall posture rather than isolating symptoms.
Your first visit is focused on listening, careful evaluation, and creating a clear plan that supports safe movement and long-term knee health.
What Is Knee Pain?
Knee pain refers to discomfort, stiffness, or instability in or around the knee joint. It can develop suddenly after an injury or gradually over time due to repeated stress or movement changes.
Because the knee supports body weight and movement, even small imbalances can lead to ongoing strain. When alignment or movement patterns change, the knee often absorbs more pressure than it should, which can affect daily activities like walking, standing, or exercising.
As Dr. Susan Lee often explains, knee pain frequently reflects how the body is adapting to stress rather than a single isolated problem.
What are the reasons of Knee pain?
Knee pain often develops due to a combination of joint stress, muscle imbalance, and movement dysfunction. Common reasons include:
- Overuse or repetitive strain, which places repeated stress on the joint
- Poor walking or running mechanics that alter weight distribution
- Muscle weakness or imbalance that reduces knee stability
- Joint misalignment that increases uneven wear
- Previous knee injuries that change movement patterns
- Arthritis or joint degeneration affecting joint surfaces
- Hip or ankle alignment issues that shift pressure to the knee
- Sudden twisting or impact that stresses ligaments and cartilage
In many cases, the knee itself is not the only issue. Problems elsewhere in the body can place extra strain on the knee joint.
Dr. Michael Cohen frequently notes that asymmetrical loading through the spine and pelvis can place extra pressure on one knee over time, similar to uneven tire wear on a vehicle.
Types of Knee Pain We Treat
Different knee conditions require different approaches. Common types of knee pain include:
- Anterior knee pain around the kneecap that worsens with activity
- Pain along the inside or outside of the knee related to alignment stress
- Pain during bending or squatting due to joint loading
- Pain with walking or climbing stairs from movement imbalance
- Knee stiffness or reduced mobility affecting daily function
- Knee instability or weakness that affects confidence in movement
Dr. Julia Sopira emphasizes identifying how movement habits and posture contribute to these patterns so care can be tailored appropriately.
How do we diagnose the root cause of the Knee pain?
At Graceful Pompano Beach Chiropractic, diagnosis begins with understanding how your knee moves and how it interacts with the rest of your body. Your evaluation may include:
- Review of injury history and daily activities to identify stress patterns
- Observation of walking and movement patterns
- Knee range of motion testing to assess mobility
- Muscle strength and flexibility assessment
- Joint alignment evaluation to identify imbalance
- Examination of hip and ankle function
- Digital X rays when appropriate to assess joint structure
Dr. Michael Cohen explains findings clearly so you understand what is contributing to your knee pain and how it developed.

Knee Pain Patient Case Study
Patient Info: Adult patient with ongoing knee discomfort affecting daily movement and activity.
Symptoms: Persistent knee pain with activity, especially during walking and exercise, without a recent direct knee injury.
Root cause analysis: Evaluation showed uneven weight distribution through the lower body, with postural imbalance placing extra pressure on one knee. Hip and spinal alignment contributed to asymmetrical stress.
Treatment plan: Care focused on restoring spinal and pelvic alignment, improving overall posture, and reducing uneven pressure on the knee. Movement guidance was provided to support recovery.
Outcome & results: As alignment improved, knee discomfort reduced, movement became more comfortable, and daily activities were easier to perform with less strain.
