Moving All Summer? Don’t Let Knee Pain Slow You Down
Whether you’re a runner, outdoor worker, or weekend hiker, staying active in the summer heat demands more than sunscreen—it requires internal balance. At OhioChiro, we know that pain-free movement starts from the inside out.
Knee pain is one of the most common complaints we treat in the summer. And recovery doesn’t begin at the knee—it begins with how your spine functions, how you move, and how well you recover.
Spine First: Why We Start at the Top
When your spine is out of alignment or your pelvis is unstable, your knees often pay the price. Many chronic knee issues stem from compensations in spinal or hip mobility.
At OhioChiro, we use:
- 3D Movement Mapping to assess kinetic chain function
- Spinal and pelvic diagnostics to identify compensation patterns
- Functional rehab and recovery protocols to restore balance
By correcting spinal dysfunctions, we reduce the repetitive strain placed on the knees—especially during long walks, runs, and physically demanding work in the summer heat.
Dehydration: The Silent Inflammation Amplifier
Summer heat + physical activity = rapid fluid loss.
Why hydration matters:
- Lubricates joints and maintains cartilage health
- Reduces inflammation in soft tissues
- Supports energy, muscle recovery, and cellular repair
Without proper hydration, your knees are more vulnerable to stress, swelling, and slower recovery—especially if you’re already dealing with arthritis or chronic pain.

If you’ve been sidelined by knee pain—or pushing through it with little success—Class IV Laser Therapy may be your breakthrough.
