If you’re living with knee discomfort, popping, or instability, the issue may be more than just wear and tear. Conditions like patellofemoral pain syndrome (PFPS)—often caused by improper tracking of the kneecap—are common and highly treatable with the right approach.
Often called “runner’s knee,” PFPS is pain originating from the joint between your kneecap (patella) and thigh bone (femur). This condition is frequently misunderstood, misdiagnosed, or treated with general rest and ice—often providing only short-term relief.
Pain when going up/down stairs
Discomfort after sitting too long
Clicking or grinding behind the kneecap
Weakness or instability in the knee
At Coast Chiropractic Centers, we’re one of the few practices in Fort Myers with orthopedic-level insight into how the hips, feet, and spinal alignment affect knee function.
We look beyond the knee to assess hip function, foot alignment, and muscle imbalances.
Targeted soft tissue work, including Graston Technique and trigger point therapy, reduces inflammation and restores movement.
Accelerates tissue healing and relieves pain at a cellular level.
We design strength and coordination programs to re-train proper kneecap tracking and stabilize supporting structures.
If your knee pain worsens with activity or you’ve been told to just rest until it goes away—don’t wait. PFPS can lead to chronic degeneration and functional decline.
Get back on your feet with advanced, personalized care.
