The actual adjustment is seconds but full treatment with heat, stim stretching and adjusting could be 20 to 30 minutes depending on the issue at hand.
A typical knee adjustment will typically take only seconds.
The adjustment of the knee (or any joint in the body) takes a less than a second. This is by design. The specific directive force is ideally faster than the body can respond, restoring motion into the otherwise restricted/malpositioned joint. (Think of a magician quickly removing a linen tablecloth from a table without disturbing the china plates & crystal glasses). This is in contrast to manipulation or mobilization typically performed by a PT. This is a slow, stretching type procedure.
In addition to adjusting the knee, most Sports Chiropractors will also address concurrent conditions that affect the knee; over-pronation, muscle imbalances in surrounding musculature, weight bearing issues, rotated hips, etc.

A few seconds, but if it were me doing it, I sorted a lot more time treating the soft tissues before and possibly after the adjustment.
This is a non-answerable question as you have not provided any report on the condition of the knee. Sometimes, depending on age, activity, overall health condition, and the reason the knee is troublesome -- is it from a recent or old injury, or are there other factors. Sometimes, just some work and support on the foot, ankle, or any of the knee bones, muscles and
or joints will help and sometimes it may be chronic or a very serious acute injury and may require surgery and/or rehabilitation. First thing is to consult with a sports-related chiropractor and get the knee evaluated.

The treatment/adjustment provided for a knee is dependent upon a number of different factors that can only be determined through an evaluation. I recommend contacting your Chiropractor to schedule an appointment to be evaluated.
Thank you for the question!

Less than a second. Ok, that's a glib answer...The adjustment does take very little time, but the examination to determine the need for and the correct vector of adjustment takes longer. You can expect 5-7 minutes of exam. There should also be a q&a on.
About 3 seconds. Your chiropractor will determine what bone in your knee needs to be adjusted by motion palpation , and checking the range of motion, but the actual adjustment is very quick, whether by hand or with an instrument.
The knee adjustment only takes a moment, however the assessment to figure out what the best course of action to figure out what the problem is takes a little longer. And if your chiropractor checks the muscles around your knee to see if they are working right, that can take some time as well.

Depending on the extent necessary to achieve the prospective end result and the extent of the misalignment, 1 to 5 minutes on average.
The examination would take longer than the actual adjustment. A simple knee adjustment can take place in a minute.
The adjustment itself only take a few seconds. The history and examination will take a bit longer--and they should be done.
Knee adjustments are usually very quick. Proper long term changes to hold the adjustment can take months to fix.
The adjustment itself does not take long wants the method has been determined. The healing after the adjustment has been made can vary depending on the condition of the knee.
