Did you know that ignoring knee pain can lead not just to further knee damage but also to severe back problems?
Knee pain is often linked to lower back pain through the intricate connections involving the lower back, pelvis, and knees. When your back is out of alignment, it can put tension on the sciatic nerve, which may then radiate down your legs and into your knees, leading to inflammation, pain, and reduced mobility.
But there’s more—knee pain can change your posture and how you walk, causing your lower back to compensate and potentially leading to misaligned spinal discs. Ignoring these pains can result in further wear and tear on your spinal discs and knee joints.
At the office of Steven M. Gillis, we understand the complex relationship between knee and back pain and are here to help! We treat the root causes of your discomfort to alleviate pain and prevent future damage.

It’s all connected. Are you suffering from chronic headaches and neck pain? If so, your posture due to the pain can be creating another issue – a gluteal contracture.
A gluteal contracture is characterized by tightness and limited mobility in the gluteal muscles. When the muscles are weak, underactive, or tight, they can trigger biomechanical imbalances in the pelvis and hips. This can even lead to instability in the lower spine due to shifting and locking the lower back and sacral joints to support the upper portion of your body, head, and neck.
But wait, there’s hope in breaking the cycle!
By addressing underlying causes and encouraging muscle balance, we have your back and strive to minimize the chances of your head and neck pain becoming a pain in the bum – quite literally!
Your journey towards relief starts with taking action that will address improper spinal structure and unrelenting muscle tension. Call the office of Dr. Steven M. Gillis today. You only have the pain to lose!
