Effective, Non-Surgical Chiropractic Care for Hip & Knee Pain
in Auburn & Opelika, AL
If you are searching for a chiropractor for hip or knee pain treatment in Auburn-Opelika, these conditions are often caused by overuse, sports injuries, arthritis, poor biomechanics, or repetitive strain. Hip and knee pain can significantly limit walking, standing, stair climbing, exercise, and overall mobility when left untreated.
At our clinic, we provide chiropractic care and Shockwave Therapy for hip and knee conditions by identifying and correcting underlying causes such as joint dysfunction, muscular imbalance, and soft tissue restriction. Dr. Fimreite uses precise chiropractic adjustments and soft tissue techniques to improve joint function, reduce pain, and support long-term healing.
Because the hip, knee, and ankle function together as part of the same kinetic chain, dysfunction in one area can often lead to pain or overuse in another. Addressing the full movement pattern allows for more complete recovery, improved stability, and better long-term outcomes.

- Hip pain and hip flexor strain
- Arthritis of the hip or knee

How Chiropractic Care Helps Hip & Knee Pain
Hip and knee pain often result from joint restriction, muscular imbalance, or abnormal movement patterns. Over time, these issues can lead to inflammation, stiffness, instability, and difficulty performing everyday activities such as walking, bending, or exercising.
- Improves joint mobility in the hip and knee
- Reduces muscle tension and inflammation
- Restores proper movement patterns and biomechanics
- Supports natural healing without medication or surgery
Many patients experience improved mobility, reduced pain, and better stability within their care plan depending on the severity and duration of their condition.
When to See a Chiropractor for Hip or Knee Pain
You may benefit from chiropractic care if you experience hip or knee pain while walking, stiffness after sitting, discomfort going up or down stairs, or symptoms that worsen with exercise or daily activity.
If you also experience lower back or pelvic discomfort along with hip pain, a full spine evaluation may be helpful for identifying contributing issues.
Not getting lasting relief? For chronic hip and knee pain, arthritis, or tendon-related conditions that have not responded to traditional care, we also offer Shockwave Therapy , which may help stimulate healing in damaged joints, tendons, and soft tissues.
