Conservative, Non-Surgical Knee Pain Treatment in Orem, Utah

Is knee pain limiting your daily life or athletic performance?

You're not alone — knee conditions are one of the most common orthopedic complaints and can severely impact your ability to walk, exercise, and enjoy life.

At Crest Chiropractic in Orem, Utah, we specialize in non-surgical treatment options for a wide range of knee injuries and conditions — with a particular focus on shockwave therapy for lasting relief and healing.

Why Knee Pain Is So Common

The knee is the largest and most complex joint in the body, making it especially vulnerable to injury. While some knee injuries result from direct trauma, most are caused by poor movement mechanics, overuse, or muscular imbalances.

Alarmingly, knee replacements are increasing among younger adults — but conservative care can help prevent surgery and restore function naturally.

Common Knee Conditions We Treat

At Crest Chiropractic, we treat both acute and chronic knee issues, including:

Tendon Injuries

• Patellar Tendonitis ("Jumper’s Knee")
• Quadriceps Tendonitis
• Iliotibial Band Syndrome (ITBS)

These are common in runners, weightlifters, and athletes, causing pain during squats, jumps, or running.

Bursitis of the Knee

Inflammation of the bursa (a fluid-filled sac) can lead to pain and swelling, especially with kneeling or repetitive motion.

Ligament Strains and Sprains

• Medial Collateral Ligament (MCL) Strain
• Lateral Collateral Ligament (LCL) Strain
• Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) Strain
• Posterior Cruciate Ligament (PCL) Strain

These injuries are common among football, soccer, and lacrosse players and often result in pain, swelling, and instability.

Knee Osteoarthritis

Degeneration of the cartilage in the knee joint causes stiffness, pain, and reduced mobility — often in adults with a history of injury or aging joints.

Post-Surgical and Post-Injury Scar Tissue

Scar tissue can restrict movement, create chronic pain, and hinder recovery. Shockwave therapy is especially effective in helping remodel and reduce scar tissue in the knee region.

Shockwave Therapy: A Non-Invasive, Drug-Free Solution

Shockwave therapy is a cutting-edge, non-surgical treatment that promotes healing in tendons, ligaments, fascia, and inflamed tissues.

How It Works:

• Increases blood flow to injured areas
• Breaks down adhesions and calcifications
• Stimulates collagen production and cellular repair
• Reduces chronic inflammation and pain

This makes shockwave therapy ideal for conditions like patellar tendonitis, quadriceps tendonitis, IT band syndrome, knee bursitis, ligament injuries, and even knee osteoarthritis.
