Rehabilitation-focused chiropractic care for hip and knee pain

Rising Sun Chiropractic + Weight Loss provides conservative, rehabilitation-focused chiropractic care for people with hip and knee pain in St. Peter, MN and surrounding southern Minnesota communities.

Our goal is simple:
help you walk, climb stairs, lift, stand, drive, get dressed and move more comfortably—without surgery.

We focus on identifying the movement and mechanical factors contributing to your pain, not just treating symptoms.

Common hip and knee problems we help with

We commonly evaluate and treat:

  • activity-related hip pain

  • knee pain with walking, stairs, or squatting

  • overuse and work-related hip and knee injuries

  • degenerative joint-related pain

  • hip stiffness and reduced range of motion

  • knee pain linked to changes in movement or loading

Why hip and knee pain often develops

Hip and knee pain is usually influenced by a combination of:

  • limited joint motion at the hip, knee, or lower back

  • altered walking or movement patterns

  • reduced strength or endurance

  • soft-tissue stiffness

  • sensitivity to repeated or heavier loading

Our job is to determine which of these factors matter most for you.

Our approach to hip and knee care

We provide rehabilitation-focused chiropractic care to help you move more comfortably and tolerate daily and work activities.

Your care plan may include:

  • chiropractic adjustments and joint mobilization

  • therapeutic exercise and movement rehabilitation

  • soft-tissue treatment

  • taping when appropriate

  • deep tissue laser therapy when appropriate

  • guidance for safely returning to activity

Your plan is based on how your hip and knee respond to real-life movement—not only on imaging or a diagnosis label.

What makes our hip and knee care different

We do not operate as a physical therapy clinic and we do not rely on passive treatment alone.

Our chiropractic-led rehabilitation approach focuses on:

  • detailed movement and gait assessment

  • progressive strengthening and activity exposure

  • targeted hands-on treatment

  • clear, functional goals

The objective is to help you better tolerate:

walking, stairs, lifting, and daily activity—with fewer flare-ups.

What to expect at your first visit

Your initial visit focuses on:

  • how and when your hip or knee pain started

  • which movements and activities make symptoms better or worse

  • hip, knee, and lower-extremity movement assessment

  • strength, mobility, and movement control testing

If appropriate, you will receive clear findings and a recommended care plan focused on restoring function.
