What Causes Bent Knees With Straightening Difficulties?

my 10 year old awoke with her knee bent and unable to straighten on her own. it was very painful for her. she is very active in sports and has been to the chiropractor for her hips being out of alignment. could she be deficient in something in her diet.

Hi...I don't think it is related to dietary deficiency, but I suggest you get her checked for vitamin D levels and if it is deficient or insufficient, then she may require supplements accordingly.
