FAQs About Knee Pain and Shockwave Therapy
Can Knee Pain Cause Sciatica?

Shockwave therapy, chiropractic adjustments and spinal decompression can help by addressing underlying musculoskeletal issues that may contribute to both knee pain and sciatica.
Can Knee Pain Cause Hip Pain?
Yes, knee pain can cause hip pain due to altered walking patterns and compensation. Shockwave therapy can alleviate knee pain, improving gait and reducing stress on the hip joint.
