Understanding Knee Pain

Knee pain can make walking, bending, or even standing a challenge. Because the knee supports your body’s weight with every step, even mild discomfort can significantly impact daily life and mobility.

At The Spine & Health Center of New Jersey, Dr. Kelly Blundy, IFMCP, DC, BCIM, ART, and our multidisciplinary team provide non-invasive, customized care to relieve pain, restore movement, and prevent re-injury.

We proudly serve Montvale, Closter, and Park Ridge, helping patients across Bergen County, NJ return to an active, pain-free lifestyle.

Common Causes of Knee Pain

Knee pain can result from trauma, repetitive use, or underlying medical conditions. The most common causes include:

  • Ligament injuries (ACL, MCL, or PCL tears) – Common in athletes or sudden directional changes.
  • Meniscus tears – Cartilage damage that causes locking or clicking sensations.
  • Tendonitis or bursitis – Inflammation of the soft tissues surrounding the knee.
  • Osteoarthritis – Degeneration of joint cartilage from wear and tear.
  • Patellofemoral pain syndrome – Pain around or behind the kneecap from misalignment.
  • Overuse injuries – Resulting from repetitive motion or poor biomechanics.
  • Postural or gait imbalances – Misalignment in the hips or spine can overload the knee joint.

When to Seek Professional Care

You should schedule an evaluation if you experience:

  • Swelling or stiffness that lasts more than a few days
  • A “locked” knee that can’t straighten fully
  • Popping or grinding sensations
  • Instability or a feeling that the knee might give out
  • Pain during walking, running, or climbing stairs
Ignoring early symptoms can lead to chronic pain or joint damage, so early intervention is key.

How We Diagnose & Treat Knee Pain

At The Spine & Health Center of NJ, we perform a comprehensive assessment that includes orthopedic testing, gait analysis, and functional movement screening to identify the exact source of your pain.

Once diagnosed, your personalized treatment plan may include:

1. Chiropractic Care

Realigns the hips, knees, and ankles to reduce pressure, improve biomechanics, and restore balance to your gait.

2. Physical Therapy

Strengthens muscles surrounding the knee, enhances flexibility, and promotes stability for long-term relief.

3. Active Release Technique (ART)

Performed by Dr. Kelly Blundy, ART relieves tight muscles, scar tissue, and adhesions that restrict knee movement.

4. Class IV Laser Therapy

Accelerates tissue healing, reduces inflammation, and helps manage chronic pain without medication.

5. Shockwave Therapy

Stimulates the body’s natural healing response for chronic tendon or soft tissue injuries.

6. FAKTR & Graston Technique

Use specialized tools to restore soft tissue function, improve mobility, and reduce stiffness.

7. NormaTec Recovery Boots

Enhance blood flow and speed recovery following activity or physical therapy sessions.

  • Strengthen supporting muscles: Focus on quadriceps, hamstrings, and hips.
  • Maintain a healthy weight: Reduces stress on the knee joints.
  • Stretch daily: Gentle stretches improve flexibility and reduce tightness.
  • Wear supportive shoes: Avoid high heels and worn-out footwear.

If pain persists beyond a few days, professional evaluation is strongly recommended.
