InterQuest at 10807 New Allegiance Drive in the north, Academy at 3204 N Academy Boulevard on the east side, and Tenderfoot at 1230 Tenderfoot Hill Road in the south. Each has Physical Therapy, Chiropractic, Acupuncture and Pain Management in the same building.
Knee work is largely a therapy course, which means repeat visits. Picking the nearest one is usually the difference between finishing the program and stopping halfway.
The examination covers how the knee tracks, what the hip is doing above it, and whether the pain is coming from the joint, a tendon, or being referred from the low back. Those four answers produce four different plans.
It also establishes what the knee has to be able to do. A knee that needs to carry a pack up a trail has a different endpoint from a knee that needs to manage a flight of stairs at work, and the program is written to the endpoint rather than to the diagnosis alone.
The quadriceps and glutes control how load passes through the joint. When they weaken the knee takes that load badly, and no injection changes that. Physical Therapy is therefore the center of the plan rather than an add-on.
Chiropractic care is used where the hip or the low back is part of why the knee is being loaded that way. Acupuncture is used where pain is the barrier to doing the strengthening at all.
Where the examination points at the joint rather than the muscles around it, a joint injection is considered. In Colorado Springs it is performed in office at InterQuest, off the InterQuest Parkway exit on I-25.
It is not a substitute for the strengthening. What it does is quieten a joint enough that the loading work can be done properly.

How the knee tracks, what the hip is doing above it, and whether the pain is from the joint, a tendon, or referred from the low back.
Yes. The quadriceps and glutes control how load passes through the joint, and no injection changes that.
Where the examination points at the joint itself. In Colorado Springs it is performed in office at InterQuest.
No. It is ordered when the examination raises a question the plan depends on.
