Knee pain can make stairs, walking, work, and exercise frustrating. Our West Ashley team examines the knee along with the hip, ankle, foot, and movement patterns that influence how force travels through the joint.
Treatment depends on the cause and examination findings. Care may include joint mobilization, supportive chiropractic treatment, soft-tissue techniques, and progressive exercises for mobility, stability, and strength. We coordinate referral when symptoms suggest a condition outside our scope.
No two patients are exactly alike. Dr. Jason Pero and Dr. Chris Cole take time to listen, explain the examination findings, and recommend a practical plan built around your goals. Our office is located at 1012 Physicians Dr, Suite 102, Charleston, SC 29414.
Call or text our West Ashley office to ask questions or request your first appointment.
Knee discomfort can be influenced by the hip, ankle, foot, training load, work demands, and previous injuries. Symptoms may appear during stairs, squatting, walking, running, or after prolonged sitting. At JP Chiropractic, we ask when the pain began, whether swelling or instability is present, and how it affects work, exercise, and family activities.
The examination may include knee motion, strength, balance, walking mechanics, and assessment of the hip and ankle. If conservative care is appropriate, a plan may include joint or soft-tissue techniques, activity changes, mobility work, and gradual strengthening. Care is individualized, and we explain which findings can reasonably be addressed in our office.
Significant swelling after injury, inability to bear weight, locking, visible deformity, a hot or discolored joint, calf swelling, fever, or progressive weakness requires prompt evaluation. We recommend imaging or referral when the presentation suggests it. Patients seeking non-invasive options can review our services, learn about foot and ankle care, or request an appointment.
