Whether you're a runner on the trails at Tecolote Canyon, a weekend warrior playing pickup

soccer, or someone who just enjoys San Diego’s outdoors, knee pain can slow you down fast. And for many Clairemont residents, the thought of surgery feels like a last resort.

The good news? Surgery isn't the only option. At The Bridge Chiropractic, we offer non-invasive solutions to help relieve knee pain, restore mobility, and keep you active—without going under the knife.


❗ Why Is Knee Pain So Common?

The knee is a complex joint that takes on a lot of impact—especially in an active community like ours. It’s affected not just by what happens at the knee itself, but also by how well the hips, ankles, and pelvis are functioning.

Common causes of knee pain in San Diego’s active population:

  • Overuse from running, hiking, or high-impact sports

  • Poor biomechanics or joint misalignment

  • Muscle imbalances in the hips, glutes, or quads

  • Degenerative changes (like arthritis)

  • Old injuries that never healed properly

When the body moves out of balance, the knee often ends up doing too much—and eventually, it starts to hurt.


👐 Non-Surgical Knee Pain Relief at The Bridge Chiropractic

At The Bridge Chiropractic, we take a full-body approach to knee pain. We don’t just look at the knee—we assess how your spine, hips, and legs are working together to support healthy movement.

Here’s how we help:

Misalignment in the low back or pelvis can change how weight is distributed through the legs, placing added strain on the knees. Gentle chiropractic adjustments restore balance and reduce stress on the joint.

🦵 Joint Mobilization

Stiffness in the ankle, knee, or hip can alter your gait. Mobilizing these joints helps restore natural range of motion and reduce compensatory movement patterns.

💆 Soft Tissue Therapy

Tight muscles—especially in the quads, IT band, hamstrings, and calves—can pull on the knee and worsen pain. We use focused soft tissue work to relieve tension and improve flexibility.

🏃‍♂️ Rehab & Movement Coaching

We guide you through customized exercises to correct imbalances, strengthen stabilizing muscles, and improve how your body moves—whether you're hiking at Mission Trails or chasing your kids around the park.


🏙️ Stay Active Without Surgery

Living in San Diego means year-round access to movement, sunshine, and adventure—and knee pain shouldn’t keep you from enjoying it.

If you’re dealing with soreness, swelling, or instability in your knees, don’t wait for it to get worse. Let us help you address the cause and get back on track—naturally and non-invasively.
