The body compensates. When the spine is misaligned, the hips and knees adjust how they carry load to absorb the imbalance. Over time, those compensations produce pain in joints that are structurally healthy but mechanically overloaded. The painful joint is not the source of the problem. The spine is.
This is why a joint pain chiropractor who evaluates the spine alongside the painful joint catches problems that a localized approach misses. Beacon Clinic of Chiropractic in Grover Beach examines the full mechanical picture because joint pain frequently has a spinal origin.
