Conditions We Treat at Our Fremont Chiropractic Clinic
Understand what hurts, and what’s feeding it.
Core Performance Chiropractic & Sport treats back pain, neck pain, sciatica, knee and hip pain, pinched nerves, sports injuries, and other muscle and joint problems at our chiropractic clinic in Fremont, CA. Pain tells you where the problem is. It doesn’t always tell you why it started or why it keeps coming back.
Dr. Alex Lee looks at how you move, what your work, training, or sport asks of your body, and what’s actually driving your symptoms. Then he builds care around what you need your body to do.
Your Symptoms Are Only Part of the Picture
Two people with back pain can need very different care. A golfer may feel it when rotating, a runner after a few miles, and someone who sits all day only at the gym. So we look past the diagnosis to your movement, strength, injury history, and daily demands.
Where it hurts isn’t always the whole story. Shoulder pain may involve upper back movement. Knee pain may trace back to hip strength or ankle mobility. The assessment looks at the bigger picture before deciding what to treat.

Hip, Knee & Foot
Knee Pain: Often tied to hip strength, ankle mobility, and how the knee tracks when you squat, land, or climb stairs. Locking, giving way, or major swelling after an injury should be checked medically first.
Hip Pain: Affects walking, sitting, running, and golf. Restoring hip rotation and strength often takes pressure off the lower back and knees.
Ankle Pain & Instability: An old sprain or an ankle that keeps rolling.
Foot Pain & Plantar Fasciitis: Heel and arch pain, especially with the first steps of the morning.
Sports & Activity

Mobility Limitations: When you feel stiff or restricted rather than in pain. Learn more →
Recovery After Surgery: Rebuilding movement, strength, and confidence once you’re cleared for rehab.
Hurt in a car accident? Neck pain, back pain, and whiplash don’t always show up right away. Dr. Lee accepts a limited number of auto accident cases.

When to Schedule an Assessment
- Pain is interfering with work, exercise, sport, or sleep.

Conditions We Treat FAQs
Do I need to know what my condition is before I book?
No. The assessment is how we find out. If you need imaging, testing, or another provider, Dr. Lee will point you to the right next step.
Can a chiropractor help with knee pain?
Yes, often. Knee pain is frequently tied to hip strength, ankle mobility, and how you load the knee. Locking, instability, or major swelling should be evaluated medically first.
Can a chiropractor help a pinched nerve?
Often, yes. Worsening weakness, loss of bladder or bowel control, or rapidly spreading numbness need urgent medical care.
Will I need X-rays or an MRI first?
Not usually. If imaging is needed, we’ll tell you and help arrange it.
What if my condition isn't something you should treat?
Then we’ll tell you and refer you to the right provider.
