Understanding Joint Pain – The Kinetic Chain Connection

Explore Common Pain Conditions: Joint Pain

When your knees creak or your hips feel stiff, it’s easy to blame "old age." However, at Pinnacle Chiropractic, we see joint pain as a mechanical warning light. Most joint pain is actually a symptom of a "kinetic chain" failure elsewhere in the body.

The "Levers and Pulleys" of the Body

Your body moves as a coordinated system. If your lower back is misaligned, you shift your weight to one side to compensate. Using the Gonstead System, we analyze the mechanics of your entire skeleton. We use MyoVision technology to create a "Stress Map" that shows us where your muscles are overworking to protect your joints. By realigning the pelvis and spine, we often see that secondary "joint pain" in the extremities vanishes because the mechanical load is finally balanced.
