Chiropractic Treatments for Knee Pain

Minor knee issues may improve with basic rest, but chronic joint pain often becomes a debilitating condition. Struggling with a severe orthopedic limitation makes climbing common household stairs or taking evening walks highly painful.

Action Chiropractic and Sports Injury Center identifies the underlying structural source of your persistent lower extremity discomfort. Our experienced team provides advanced manual adjustments to safely restore your natural mobility without invasive surgeries. Achieve lasting knee pain relief in Naperville and avoid potentially harmful medications starting today.

Causes and Conditions Associated With Knee Pain

Most knee pain problems stem directly from sudden sports injuries or excessive mechanical strain from repetitive movements. Working with our qualified knee pain specialists in Naperville helps identify exactly why your joint functions within a demanding environment.

With the right chiropractic care for knee pain, you can prevent minor structural issues from turning into acute or chronic micro-trauma. Identify the exact causes and underlying conditions today to prevent this structural damage from accelerating and sidelining you.

  • Tendinitis: Persistent overuse inflames your protective patellar tendons, which causes sharp pain during explosive jumping movements.
  • Bursitis: Repetitive friction irritates the fluid-filled sacs, creating localized swelling across your anterior knee cap.
  • Ligament Sprains: Sudden twisting forces stretch or tear your deep structural supports, severely destabilizing your leg.                     

Our practitioners design a customized chiropractic adjustment for knee pain to stabilize your moving joints and accelerate cellular healing.

The Kinetic Chain and Knee Mechanics

Your lower extremity operates as an intricate, interconnected kinetic chain. Knee dysfunction frequently begins with unaddressed ankle instability or hip weakness, forcing joints to absorb unnatural twisting forces.

Action Chiropractic and Sports Injury Center provides complete physical evaluations to balance your entire system. We deliver comprehensive treatment plans that heal all related affected areas, offering reliable knee pain relief in Naperville.

Sports Injuries and Degenerative Conditions

The repetitive physical motions involved in cycling or running can eventually trigger severe muscular tracking errors. This ongoing mechanical stress leads to chronic swelling, joint stiffness, and the rapid tissue degeneration associated with arthritis.

Our expert chiropractic knee pain treatmentprotocols help realign the tissues that endure immense, continuous impact forces over time.

1. Knee Cartilage Tears 

Your knee contains two specialized crescent menisci that act as crucial shock absorbers. While doctors often recommend surgery, ourInstrument-Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization(IASTM) offers excellent alternatives that completely reduce localized, painful inflammation.

2. Osteoarthritis and Rheumatoid Arthritis 

Osteoarthritis progressively wears away your joint cartilage, protecting your moving bones. Rheumatoid arthritis causes severe systemic inflammation. We use gentle manual joint distraction adjustments to increase crucial space, delivering profound relief from chronic stiffness.

3. Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome

Repetitive mechanical stress forces your kneecap to track incorrectly, causing severe grinding pain. Our experts apply targeted patellar tracking manipulation to realign the surrounding musculature. We quickly restore smooth joint movement and protect your vulnerable cartilage.

4. Iliotibial Band Syndrome

Extreme physical friction inflames the thick lateral tissue running down your outer thigh. Our curatedActive Release Techniques in Napervillemanually clear your stubborn fascial adhesions. Get instant relief from sharp pain during high-impact running workouts.

Dr. Norgaard’s first exposure to chiropractic was when he was a high school football player at Neuqua Valley in Naperville, Illinois. Nagging injuries led him to Action Chiropractic and Dr. Durnas. He was amazed with the results he got and knew that the treatments provided at Action Chiropractic were the best way to address his ailments.
After high school, Dr. Norgaard left Naperville and attended Central College in Pella, Iowa. While at Central, he majored in biology and played football, further piquing his interest in sports injuries and how to treat them. When he wasn’t in the classroom or on the football field, Dr. Norgaard spent his time volunteering at hospitals, and at various clinics. This is when he really developed a passion for helping people get better.
His experiences as an athlete, chiropractic patient, and volunteer shaped his decision to become a chiropractor.
After graduating from Central, Dr. Norgaard continued his education at Palmer College of Chiropractic.
While at Palmer, Dr. Norgaard took several extracurricular courses focusing on spinal diagnosis and therapy, soft tissue care, and diagnosis and treatment of the extremities. He completed a 4-month internship with Dr. Durnas at Action Chiropractic and Sports Injury Center and further developed his skills as a physician.
He graduated Magna Cum Laude from Palmer in October of 2021 and received the Academic Excellence Award.
After graduation, Dr. Norgaard joined the team at Action Chiropractic and Sports Injury Center. He currently resides in the Naperville area with his wife, Shannon, son, Parker, and dog, Alby.
“I chose to become a chiropractor because I was helped by chiropractic. I was in such discomfort it took me over 3 minutes to put on my socks. After seeing a chiropractor, and regaining the ability to tie my shoes, I realized that taking loads of NSAIDs did not address the fact that there was something causing the pain. The more I learned about it, I found that Chiropractic doesn’t just hide symptoms, like I was trying to do with pills, it fixes the origin of the problem.”
Dr. Durnas graduated from the University of Illinois with a Bachelors of Science Degree in Biology and Bachelors of Arts degree in Chemistry. After graduation he worked in research and development for 3 years and dabbled in powerlifting and professional wrestling. That’s what lead him to chiropractic school. While at Palmer College of Chiropractic, he focused on learning how to best help the athlete. He took several extracurricular courses on how to address soft tissue injuries, how to adjust extremities, and how to better manage sports injuries. He graduated in June of 2012, where we were the Palmer Clinical Excellence Award winner and a keynote speaker at commencement.
In 2019, Dr. Durnas earned his Diplomate from the American Chiropractic Board of Sports Physicians (DACBSP)®. He is only the 427th chiropractor in history to earn this designation, and only the 6th recipient in the history of Illinois. He completed over 300 hours of classroom and online courses focusing on in depth on the diagnosis and treatment of sports injuries, concussions, and emergency procedures, and had over 100 on the field hours with athletes that ranged from cross fitters, professional and high school football players, professional BMX and Motocross riders, triathletes, and runners. Dr. Durnas passed a 6-part practical exam and a 250 question Board exam and contributed a case study involving nerve damage in a professional athlete following a hit to the shoulder.
