Best Chiropractic Knee Pain Treatment Singapore
Take Each Step Pain-free With Elite Spine Centres!
Does your knee hurt? Can you bend your knee joint or walk up and down the stairs without feeling sudden pain?
Pain in the knee joints has become a common ailment in our society, from competitive sports athletes to everyday office workers.
Knee pain is not normal, and you should not be forced to accept it.
Yet, most people choose to power through the pain, thinking chronic knee pain is just something they need to deal with as they age.
Perhaps you’ve tried multiple home remedies and found that they did not relieve pain at all.
Some might take painkillers to deal with it but realise that it only brings temporary pain relief.
But what can you do to get rid of that knee pain if you’re not keen on more intense treatments like joint fluid injections or knee surgery?
These remedies mentioned above only deal with the symptoms of knee pain. For effective pain relief, your knee pain treatment needs to address the problem as a whole.
And Elite Spine Centres can do just that!
Our skilled chiropractors can relieve knee pain and avoid relapse with a comprehensive therapy plan tailored to your health and care needs.

Experience Lasting Knee Pain Relief With Our Signature Functional Correction Method (FCM)!
At Elite Spine, we see a growing number of people with knee pain. You probably expect this kind of pain to only occur in the elderly (osteoarthritis pain) or perhaps athletes (overuse injury or torn ligament).
But the truth is, we are seeing an increase in younger people and the average office worker suffering from knee pain, primarily due to the sedentary lifestyle most of us are forced to lead.
We at Elite Spine firmly believe your life should be as pain-free as possible.
Just ‘a little’ pain could turn out to be worse in the long run for your health and body. Often, it signifies that your body needs extra support and care.
Not to mention, if it comes to it, knee replacement surgery can be pretty costly. Trust us—you don’t want your knee pain to reach this point.
Therefore, pain treatment must be sought out as soon as possible!

Our Signature Functional Correction Method (FCM)
Often, pain is the way your body shows you that something isn’t operating the way it should be.
Let us bring you relief with our Elite Spine chiropractic treatment strategy.
Our signature Functional Correction Method (FCM) combines the best in modern chiropractic strategies, soft tissue therapy, and rehabilitative exercises to address your concerns thoroughly.
Step 1 – Initial Consultation
At Elite Spine Centres, we firmly believe in creating a low-stress, patient-centric environment.
Our Doctor of Chiropractic will review your symptoms, health history, and any previous injuries in detail to understand better what may be causing your concerns.
We will work with you to address your concerns, ensuring that you understand your condition before proceeding with treatment.
There will be no hard sales or excessively long treatment packages – we want to work with you, not against you!
Step 2 – Spine and Body Examination
A thorough physical examination will be performed to assess your spine and the entire lower kinetic chain for proper bio-mechanics, knee alignment, signs of damage or degeneration, possible injuries and safety concerns.
Orthopaedic or neurological tests may also be performed if needed at this time. This will allow us to identify subtle injuries, including stress to soft tissues such as ligaments, tendons, cartilage and muscles. Thus, obtaining a proper and more accurate diagnosis.
Most of our patients will be able to receive treatment on their first session once any potential safety concerns have been ruled out!
Step 3 – Doctor’s Report and Recommendations
The doctor will assess your response to the first session and review any studies which may have been requested (X-ray, MRI, etc.).
Based on the findings, a customised plan of action will be discussed with you to help you reach your treatment goals.
Compared to the typical approach of symptom management via medication, doctors of chiropractic can deal with the problem right at the root.
That being said, chiropractic is not a miracle cure. In rare events that we cannot help, rest assured that we will help you find the right solutions for your knee pain.
Step 4 – Holistic Chiropractic Treatment
Treatment usually involves chiropractic manipulations to restore your body to its natural state and improve blood flow to soft tissues.
If needed, advanced therapeutic technologies may be used to complement your healing.
Your comprehensive treatment plan will also involve personalised lifestyle advice and strengthening exercises (similar to physical therapy or physiotherapy treatment) to prevent your condition from recurring and restore proper long-term movement patterns and posture.
This means our patients can achieve more complete recovery in a shorter amount of time than at other centres!

Learn More About Knee Pain
For our chiropractors to cure your knee pain, you must help us understand.
The more you know, the more you can tell us, and the better we can personalise a treatment strategy to eliminate your neck pain!
What Are the Common Types of Knee Pain?
Back of Knee
In these cases, the patients generally have various soft tissue abnormalities, weakened muscles, or even scar tissue build-up.
In addition, various forms of tendinitis and inflammation may also be present, requiring a combined approach of therapeutics and exercises to treat correctly.
People with pain at the back of the knee often have x-rays with normal or close to normal findings, ruling out knee osteoarthritis as the cause.
Thus, a doctor would consider these conditions instead as the root cause of your knee pain:
- Patellar tendonitis
- ACL (anterior cruciate ligament) tear
- Knee bursitis
- Baker’s cyst
- Torn meniscus
- Fractures around or of the knee joint itself
After Exercising or Physical Activity
Sometimes patients will tell us that they experience knee pain after being physically active. The specific location of the pain and the types of activities that aggravate it can help us pinpoint which tissues may be causing the pain.
For example, runners may often experience pain at or around the kneecap. Such high-impact activities may lead to inflamed soft tissues near or on the kneecap, the wear and tear of knee cartilage, or strained tendons.
Knee joint pain when bending or climbing stairs may also signify “runner’s knee” or patellofemoral pain syndrome (PFS). This can be aggravated by overuse, misalignment of your kneecap, or muscular weakness/imbalances in the legs.
Here are some common factors which aggravate pain after exercising:
- Poor support in the arches of your feet or improper footwear
- Chondromalacia patella (damaged cartilage behind the kneecap)
- Tendinitis / Tendonosis
- Lumbar spine and nerve problems
- Pelvic imbalance
What Causes Knee Pain?
As the largest joint in our body, the knee often absorbs the force of many movements. Furthermore, the knee joint is flexible, so one can end up hyperextending or over-rotating it by accident.
Another root cause of knee pain is physical trauma. Knee injuries from falls, sports activities or accidents can cause even more severe knee pain down the road. Other causes may also be degenerative or systemic conditions like osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis.
On the other hand, knee pain may be a secondary symptom to another underlying cause altogether. For example, if you suffer from a lumbar spine injury, it may cause nerve irritation leading to the knee area. In this case, the source needs to be resolved as merely pain relief is not enough. The knee pain may return without proper treatment, while the undealt source might lead to future injuries.
Some examples of mechanical problems that can cause knee pain include:
- Poor foot or ankle mechanics (such as over-pronation or ‘flat feet’)
- Possible instability due to a history of ankle sprains
- Hypertonic (tight) muscles or scar tissue development in tissues attached near the knee (such as muscles of the thigh or lower leg)
- Pelvic rotation or misalignment
What Are the Symptoms of Knee Pain?
If you notice the following symptoms in your knee or knees, consider it best to seek treatment from our expert chiropractors as quickly as possible:
- Pain or soreness in and around the knee joint
- Stiffness and swelling
- Instability and weakness
- Inability to straighten your knee fully
- Limping or uneven gait when walking
- Popping noises during knee movement
However, if you experience these symptoms instead, seek medical advice immediately:
- You can’t put any weight on your knee, and it feels unstable (gives out)
- An obvious deformity in your leg or knee
- You are experiencing a fever alongside redness, soreness, and swelling in your knee.
- Severe knee pain as a result of a sudden injury
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Is knee pain something I just have to live with?
No, knee pain is not normal, and you should not have to live with it day to day. While some see this pain as natural and of no consequences, pain in knee joints is a common ailment in Singapore, affecting everyone from sports athletes to office workers. Can you bend your knee and walk up and down stairs without experiencing pain? If you experience knee pain, it can be debilitating. Unfortunately though, most people opt to power through the pain, just accepting chronic knee pain as something they just need to deal with.
Why haven't home remedies and painkillers worked for my knee pain?
If you have knee pain, you might have tried a variety of home remedies without success. You may also have tried taking painkillers but have discovered that it only brings temporary relief. These remedies only deal with the symptoms of knee pain. For long-lasting and effective pain relief, treatment for your knee pain needs to address the route of the problem. This may have left you wondering what you can do to resolve your knee pain. It may seem like the only options left are intense and invasive treatments like joint fluid injections or knee surgery.
Is there an alternative to surgery or injections for knee pain?
However, there is another option! Elite Spine Centres offer chiropractic treatment for knee pain with customized therapy plans designed to address root causes and help reduce the risk of recurrence. If you are looking for a knee pain doctor in Singapore, we will not just treat your symptoms, we will get to the root of your pain.
How can my spine be causing my knee pain?
While it may seem unlikely, spinal issues can sometimes contribute to knee pain or affect how your knees function. This is because nerves from the lower spine control knee muscles and transmit pain sensations. Certain conditions can compress the sciatic nerve in the lower back, leading to referred pain, tingling and weakness in the knee even when there is no underlying injury to the knee. A weak or misaligned or weak back can change your posture and gait (how you walk). This shift in movement can put excessive strain and pressure on your knee joints, leading to pain.
What are the signs that my spine might be contributing to my knee pain?
Not sure if your spine could be contributing to your knee pain? Here are signs that suggest a spinal connection:
- Co-Occurring Back Pain: You experience pain or discomfort in your lower back along with your knee pain, even if the back pain is mild.
- Pain Without Clear Knee Injury: Your knee pain started gradually without a specific injury, fall, or trauma to the knee itself.
- Uneven Wear Patterns: One knee hurts more than the other, or you notice you wear out one shoe faster than the other.
- Persistent Hamstring or Hip Tightness: Chronic tightness in your hamstrings or hips that doesn’t improve with stretching may indicate nerve involvement from the lower spine.
- Pain That Radiates: Your knee pain sometimes extends up into your thigh or down into your calf, suggesting nerve involvement.
- Positional Changes: Your knee pain changes significantly depending on your posture, better when lying down, worse after sitting, or vice versa.
- Multiple Joint Issues: You have pain in multiple joints (hip, knee, ankle) on the same side, suggesting a biomechanical chain issue rather than isolated joint problems.
If several of these signs sound familiar, a comprehensive chiropractic assessment can help identify whether spinal or biomechanical issues are contributing to your knee pain.
Why should I choose Elite Spine Centres for my knee pain?
If you are looking for a chiropractor for knee pain in Singapore, Elite Spine Centres will not just treat your symptoms, we will get to the root of your pain. Our professional team of chiropractors provide comprehensive treatment tailored to your needs. Our comprehensive approach addresses not just your knee pain, but the underlying factors affecting your overall musculoskeletal health.
What is chiropractic treatment and how does it help knee pain?
If you are looking for a chiropractor for knee pain in Singapore, Elite Spine Centres can help. The core measure we will use to treat your knee pain is chiropractic treatment. Chiropractic treatment focuses on the musculoskeletal system, especially the spine. You will be asked to lie face down on the chiropractic table. The chiropractor manipulates the spine using their hands and instruments to improve joint motion and reduce pain.
What happens during a chiropractic adjustment?
To do this, the chiropractor will put you in certain positions to treat specific areas. They will use their hands to apply firm pressure to a joint, clicking it beyond its normal range briefly. This process is called ‘adjustment’ and it makes a popping or cracking noise as your chiropractor moves your joints during sessions.
What is the Functional Correction Method?
If you are looking for knee pain treatment that takes a holistic approach to pain management, Elite Spine Centres is the provider for you. To get you back to optimal health, we employ a variety of treatments as part of our signature Functional Correction Method. The Functional Correction Method combines modern chiropractic practice, soft tissue treatments and rehabilitative exercises.
What knee conditions can you treat?
Our Functional Correction Method may help address a variety of conditions that can contribute to knee pain, including:
- Herniated Disc: Referred pain can be caused by a ruptured disc in the lower back pressing on a nerve root.
- Spinal Stenosis: This is where the spinal canal narrows, putting pressure on the nerves and producing pain.
- Lumbar Radiculopathy: This is where there is damage or irritation of the nerve roots where they exit the lower spine.
- Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome: This is characterised by pain around the kneecap. It can be treated by addressing the tracking of the patella over the femur.
- Jumper’s Knee (Patellar Tendonitis): This involves inflammation of the tendon connecting the kneecap to the shinbone.
- Runner’s Knee: Linked to dysfunction in the entire lower chain of the body, this is a type of patellofemoral pain that stretches from the foot to the spine.
- Iliotibial Band Syndrome (ITBS): This condition is where irritation and inflammation occurs in the thick band of tissue on the outside of the thigh. This can create pain on the outer side of the knee.
- Knee Bursitis: Inflammation of the fluid-filled sacs that cushion the knee joint.
