Same Day Appointments
Same Day Appointments
Move without wincing. Sleep without throbbing. Live without hesitation.
If shoulder, hip, or knee pain has you planning your day around chairs, stairs, or the nearest bottle of pain relievers, you’re not alone—and you’re not stuck. At Springwater Chiropractic, our team provides compassionate, targeted chiropractic care for joint pain that treats the cause, not just the ache. As your trusted joint pain chiropractor, we help restore real movement, calm irritated tissues, and rebuild confidence so you can get back to work, family, sport, and the everyday moments you’ve been missing.
Ready for a plan that fits your life—not the other way around?
Pain changes everything: how you step off a curb, how you lift a pan from the oven, how you roll over at night. It can make you feel fragile, stubbornly stuck, or even a little hopeless. We get it. Shoulder, hip, and knee problems often sneak up after a busy season, a minor twist, or months of sitting and stress. They don’t always look dramatic—but they can take over.
Do any of these sound like you?
Here’s the truth: joint pain is common, but it’s not normal, and it isn’t a life sentence. Most shoulder, hip, and knee problems improve with the right combination of precise joint work, soft-tissue care, and smart, progressive rehab.
As a chiropractor for joint pain, our goal is simple: make movement feel safe again—and keep it that way.

As a chiropractor for joint pain, our goal is simple: make movement feel safe again—and keep it that way.
Our team provides more than just quick fixes — we focus on restoring comfort, improving mobility, and supporting long-term wellness. From chiropractic adjustments to specialized massage therapy, we offer personalized solutions to help you move and feel your best.
Because numbing pain isn’t the same as fixing what’s driving it. Medications can dull symptoms, but they don’t improve how your joints move or how your tissues load. Our joint pain chiropractor approach blends hands-on care with movement science so your joints glide, muscles share the work, and nerves can finally quiet down.
Looking for chiropractic care for joint pain that respects your goals, history, and schedule? You’re in the right place.
It starts with a conversation. What hurts, when, and why? What makes you worry? What do you want to get back to? Your answers drive everything.
We check joint mobility, muscle quality, nerve sensitivity, posture, gait, and load tolerance. If we suspect red flags or something that would change care, we coordinate imaging or medical follow-up.
Gentle joint mobilization or adjustments to restore motion in the spine and the painful joint; soft-tissue therapy (myofascial release, trigger point work) to ease guarding; and, when helpful, taping or bracing for short-term support.
We choose a few high-impact drills you can actually do: shoulder blade control, hip stability, knee tracking, deep core activation, balance work, and graded strength. Results stick when your body owns the new motion.
Desk and driving setup, sleep positions, warm-up routines, stair strategies, and lifting mechanics—simple changes that reduce flare-ups and protect your progress.
Clear milestones and check-ins so you know what’s improving and what’s next. If progress stalls, we adjust early.
We reduce pain and swelling, improve gentle motion, and create a short list of safe moves you can rely on at home and work. For many people, this is where fear begins to drop and sleep starts to return.
We build healthy joint glides, shoulder blade/hip control, and knee tracking. Hands-on care continues while rehab progresses from basic activation to controlled strength. Daily activities get easier and more consistent.
Now we layer in strength that protects your joints—glutes and core for hips/knees, rotator cuff and mid-back for shoulders. We tailor sets and reps to your goals (gardening, manual labor, running, lifting, or simply long days on your feet).
We focus on real-world demands: stairs, hills, longer walks, recreational sport, or gym progressions. You’ll leave with a simple maintenance plan to keep wins—and to quickly calm any future flare.
Most painful shoulders don’t track well. The ball-and-socket needs clean glide, and the shoulder blade must set and move at the right time. If the spine or ribs are stiff, the shoulder gets crowded and irritated. With the right blend of thoracic/rib mobility, scapular control, and targeted rotator cuff work, the pinch eases and reach becomes natural again.
Hips love shared work: strong glutes, mobile hip rotation, and a spine that isn’t doing all the twisting. When the hip is stiff or the glute complex underperforms, tendons complain, the front of the hip gets grumpy, and stairs feel heavy. Improving rotation, stance control, and stride mechanics changes the load—and the story.
Knees are the middle child—caught between the hip and the foot. If the hip wobbles or the foot collapses, the kneecap and joint surfaces take the brunt. Training alignment, quad/glute balance, and ankle mobility helps the knee track smoothly so you can squat and climb without bracing for pain.
We work with shoulder, hip, and knee pain all day, every day.
When it hurts, waiting weeks isn’t an option.
Targeted joint work, soft-tissue therapy, and rehab in a single, coordinated plan.
Clear exams, gentle techniques, and honest expectations.
We accept most plans and PIP for auto injuries, with transparent costs.

Springwater Chiropractic proudly serves employees and accident victims in Fairview, OR, as well as:
Inflammation can pool when you finally stop moving, and certain sleep positions compress sensitive tissues. We’ll show you side-sleep and back-sleep setups that reduce pressure and help you wake up with less stiffness.
Descending loads the kneecap and surrounding tissues more than most people realize. If the hip isn’t controlling alignment or the ankle is stiff, the knee absorbs extra force. Strengthening glutes, improving ankle mobility, and teaching your knee to track smoothly usually helps quickly.
Not necessarily. Many shoulders have irritation and poor mechanics rather than a full tear. By improving shoulder blade timing, rib/thoracic mobility, and rotator cuff control, the pinch often fades—even without imaging or injections.
Maybe there’s some wear-and-tear, but pain doesn’t perfectly match imaging. Plenty of people with osteoarthritis move and live well when mechanics improve and strength supports the joint. Our job is to reduce flare-ups and increase your capacity so you can do more with less pain.
Yes—hip joint issues often refer pain to the groin. Restoring hip rotation, easing capsular stiffness, and strengthening the glutes can make standing from a chair and walking feel easier and less sharp.
Clicks are common and not always a problem. We care more about pain, swelling, and giving way. If clicking comes with those, we’ll address mechanics first and coordinate imaging only if it would change your plan.
Usually not. A thorough history and exam guide safe, effective care for most cases. We recommend imaging when symptoms are severe, progressive, trauma-related, or if results would alter next steps.
We won’t push you into pain. We start where your body says yes, then build calmly from there. You’ll get clear green-light moves for relief and yellow-light moves to reintroduce later—no guesswork.
Often, yes. Every approach focuses on different pieces. Our plans combine precise joint work, targeted soft-tissue care, and habit-friendly strength so gains actually stick. If you already have a home program you like, we’ll build on it—not replace it.
Some people notice relief in a few visits; others need steady, staged progress. Factors include how long it’s been hurting, how irritated tissues are, and the demands of your day. We’ll set milestones so you know where you are—not just how you feel.
Yes—when tailored to you. We have gentle, low-force options and can avoid thrust techniques if needed. Safety screening is part of every visit.
Most shoulder, hip, and knee problems improve without it. If we see signs that make surgical consultation wise—or if you’re not progressing as expected—we’ll coordinate with your physician promptly.
Usually, yes—with smart modifications. We’ll show you how to swap painful moves for joint-friendly options so you stay active while you heal.
Short movement breaks if you sit a lot; heat or ice based on what feels better for you; a gentle mobility sequence for the affected joint; and sleep tweaks to reduce pressure. We’ll tailor a simple, realistic plan you can actually follow.
Live your day freely—move your shoulders, hips, and knees with confidence. With a skilled chiropractor for joint pain and a plan that respects your body and schedule, relief is realistic—and closer than you think. Let our joint pain chiropractor team help you reach overhead without bracing, climb stairs without bargaining, and sleep through the night without the ache that wakes you.
