How We Treat Knee Pain for Lasting Relief

Knee pain can be frustrating and limiting, but at Midwest Movement, we focus on solutions that don’t just mask the pain—they help your knee heal and function better. Our approach starts with assessing motion, because joints love to move! When a knee becomes stiff or locked up, it can lead to discomfort and long-term issues. That’s where the Mckenzie Method comes in.

This method helps us determine your directional preference—the movement pattern that actually reduces your pain and tells your brain the joint is safe. By reinforcing this movement, we encourage tissue healing and restore mobility.

Another powerful tool we use is dry needling. By targeting key muscles and tissues around the knee, we stimulate a healing response and speed up recovery. But treatment doesn’t stop there—rehab is essential. Your knee doesn’t work in isolation, so we strengthen the hip, foot, and ankle to reduce stress on the knee and improve long-term function.

With the right combination of motion assessment, dry needling, and rehab, we help our patients avoid unnecessary surgeries and get back to pain-free movement. Want to see how we put this into action? Watch our latest video to learn more!
