{Abstract}: We report the case of a 78-year-old woman who presented with a 14-month history of progressive bilateral knee spasms and pain and reduced quality of life. The patient had undergone bilateral total knee arthroplasty after a diagnosis of osteoarthritis and failure of conservative treatment. Symptoms reappeared 8 months postoperatively, and the patient was diagnosed with cervical spondylotic myelopathy. Consequently, she was successfully treated with chiropractic rehabilitation which involved scraping therapy, spinal manipulation, and intermittent motorized traction to relieve cervical nerve pressure. Thus, cervical spondylotic myelopathy should be considered in the differential diagnosis of cases of persistent knee pain.
