Chiropractic Adjustments vs. Knee-on-Trac® Decompression—Which Works Better for Back and Knee Pain?

Back and knee pain can disrupt your daily life, making even simple tasks difficult. If you’re in Charleston and struggling with chronic pain or injuries, two common treatment options are chiropractic adjustments and Knee-on-Trac® decompression therapy. Both are non-invasive, drug-free solutions—but how do they differ, and which one is right for you?



This guide explains each treatment, compares benefits and costs, and helps you choose the best option for faster relief.


What Is a Chiropractic Adjustment?

A chiropractic adjustment involves gentle, controlled movements to realign your spine or joints.

Key points:

  • Targets misalignments that can cause pain or limit mobility
  • Can relieve pressure on nerves, improve posture, and reduce inflammation
  • Often used for back, neck, and shoulder issues

What Is Knee-on-Trac® Decompression Therapy?

Knee-on-Trac® is a specialized therapy designed for knee pain and mobility issues. It uses a traction system to gently stretch the knee joint, reducing pressure and improving circulation.

Key points:

  • Ideal for arthritis, ligament injuries, and post-surgical recovery
  • Non-surgical alternative for patients avoiding invasive procedures
  • May reduce swelling and improve range of motion

How Do the Two Treatments Compare?

When deciding between chiropractic care and Knee-on-Trac®, consider your condition, goals, and pain location.

Back pain:

  • Chiropractic adjustments often provide quick relief for spinal or nerve issues.
  • May also support posture and overall body alignment.

Knee pain:

  • Knee-on-Trac® is designed specifically for knee conditions.
  • Can complement chiropractic care if your pain originates in both the spine and joints.

Cost and session length:

  • Chiropractic sessions typically range from $50–$100.
  • Knee-on-Trac® therapy may range from $75–$150 per session.
  • Packages can reduce per-session costs.


When Should You Choose One Over the Other?

  • Choose chiropractic care if: You have back or neck pain, nerve irritation, or mobility problems tied to spinal alignment.
  • Choose Knee-on-Trac® if: You’re focused on knee pain relief, recovering from injury, or managing arthritis.
  • Best option for many patients: A combination of both therapies can address related issues and speed up recovery.
