Stiff When You Stand Up? Pain Going Up or Down Stairs? Knee Swelling That Comes and Goes? We Can Help.
At Metro Wellness, we help patients find relief from knee pain, stiffness, and joint instability—without injections or surgery. Whether it’s from running, past injuries, arthritis, or just everyday wear and tear, we treat the root cause with natural, hands-on care.
Our licensed chiropractors, physical therapists, and acupuncturists work together using a whole-body approach. We combine chiropractic care, physical therapy, medical massage (by PTs), acupuncture, cupping, muscle scraping (IASTM), and kinesiotaping to relieve pain, improve strength, and restore joint motion—so you can move with confidence again.
