What Is Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome?

Patellofemoral pain syndrome occurs when the kneecap (patella) doesn’t track properly within its groove on the femur (thigh bone), leading to irritation of the surrounding cartilage and tissues.

Common Symptoms of PFPS:

Pain at the front or around the kneecap
Pain that worsens with stairs, squatting, kneeling, or prolonged sitting
Clicking, popping, or grinding in the knee
Knee stiffness or a feeling of weakness

This condition is common in runners, cyclists, athletes, and workers who kneel or squat regularly.

Causes of Patellofemoral Pain

PFPS is often caused by a biomechanical imbalancesomewhere along the kinetic chain, not just the knee itself.

These factors can contribute:

Poor foot alignment (flat feet, overpronation)
Tight quadriceps, hamstrings, or iliotibial band (ITB)
Weak gluteal and hip stabiliser muscles
Pelvic or spinal misalignment
Postural issueslike forward head posture or swayback
Previous injuriesto the ankle, hip, or spine

Without addressing the root cause, symptoms can linger for months or worsen over time.

Chiropractic for Patellofemoral Pain Relief

At Be Amazing Chiropractic, we take a whole-body approach. PFPS isn’t just about your knee—it’s often about how your entire body moves and functions.

Our care may include:

Spinal and pelvic adjustmentsto improve nerve control and alignment
Foot and knee joint mobilisationsto restore proper tracking
Soft tissue workfor the IT band, quadriceps, and surrounding muscles
Postural retrainingto reduce unnecessary strain on the knees
Corrective exercisesto build long-term strength and stability

By improving function and communication throughout the nervous system, we reduce inflammation, ease pain, and restore normal movement.

Quantum Neurology for Knee Pain

Quantum Neurologyallows us to test and rehabilitate the neurological controlof the knee and lower limbs.

We assess and correct:

Core nerve signals affecting knee strength and balance
Femoral, sciatic,and obturator nerves relevant to the thigh and knee
Reflex patterns that may be suppressed after injury

If weaknesses are found, we activate the nervous system using gentle corrections and light therapy to restore strength and function.

Many patients find their knees feel more stable, coordinated, and pain-free after neurological rehabilitation.

The Posture-Knee Pain Connection

Knee pain often stems from postural distortions. When your pelvis tilts forward, your arches collapse, or your head juts forward, the entire chain below is affected—including your knees.

We provide:

Postural analysis
Gait and functional movement testing
Custom exercises and stretching protocols
Digital posture scanning and retraining tools

Correcting posture improves the body’s weight distribution, reducing pressure on the patellofemoral joint.
