Knee Pain Slowing You Down? Let’s Get You Moving Again

You used to get down on the floor to play with your kids—or now, your grandkids—without thinking twice. Walking through the grocery store, taking a stroll after dinner, or dancing at a wedding was part of life. But lately, even those simple joys feel like a challenge. The ache, the stiffness, that awkward limp—it’s become part of your day, and not in a good way.

 

If you’re in your 40s, 50s, or 60s and knee pain is limiting your life, you’re not alone. At Action Medical & Chiropractic in Augusta, GA, we help people every day who want one simple thing: to get their mobility—and their life—back.

 

Let’s talk about how we can help you do just that.

When Did Knee Pain Start Running the Show?

Knee pain usually doesn’t hit like a lightning bolt—it sneaks in. Maybe it started with a little stiffness getting out of bed. Then came that soreness after walking longer than usual. Before long, you noticed it was getting harder to go up and down stairs, squat, or keep up with your grandkids.

 

Now, everyday things like gardening, golfing, or even standing in the kitchen feel like a struggle.

 

You might think, “Maybe it’s just part of getting older.”

 

But here’s the truth: chronic knee pain is common, but it’s not normal.

What’s Causing Your Knee Pain?

There are several reasons your knees might be giving you grief—especially if you’re in midlife or beyond. Some of the most common causes we see include:

 

Osteoarthritis (wear and tear of the cartilage in the knee joint)

 

Meniscus injuries

 

Ligament sprains or tears

 

Tendinitis

 

Overuse injuries

 

Poor alignment of the hips, spine, or feet

 

Old injuries that never fully healed

 

And often, it’s a combination of these things.

 

Real Treatment Options That Actually Work

Here’s the good news: You don’t have to rely on pain meds, risky surgery, or simply learn to live with it.

 

At Action Medical & Chiropractic, we take a comprehensive, non-surgical approach to knee pain. That means no band-aid fixes—just real solutions designed to relieve pain, reduce inflammation, and improve how your knee functions long-term.

 

Here’s how we do it:

1. Offloading Bracing

A custom-fitted brace can be a game-changer. It helps relieve pressure on the part of your knee that hurts the most, giving it time to rest and heal—without you having to stop moving. Whether you’re walking the dog, working, or out with friends, a good brace can provide the support and confidence you’ve been missing.

 

2. Physiotherapy

We create movement plans that strengthen the muscles around your knees, improve balance, increase flexibility, and help you move with less pain. Think of it like re-training your body to move the right way again—so your joints aren’t doing all the work.

 

3. Chiropractic Adjustments

Believe it or not, your knee pain could be coming from your hips or lower back. If your spine is out of alignment, it throws off the way you walk and stand—putting extra stress on your knees. Our gentle, science-based chiropractic adjustments help restore proper alignment so your whole body works together the way it’s supposed to.

 

4. Restorative Medicine (PRP Therapy)

Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy is one of the most exciting breakthroughs in natural pain relief. We use your body’s own healing cells to repair damaged tissue inside the knee. It’s non-surgical, safe, and has helped many of our patients feel better faster and more naturally than they ever thought possible.

 

What Makes Our Approach Different?

We don’t just treat the knee—we treat the whole person. Your lifestyle, habits, sleep, stress, and activity levels all matter. That’s why our team works with you to design a plan that fits your goals. Want to get back to playing golf? Gardening? Taking long walks with your spouse? We’ll help you get there.

 

Take the First Step Toward Feeling Better

We know how frustrating it is to feel like your body’s holding you back. But there are real, effective options available that don’t involve surgery or long-term medication.
