6 Non-Surgical Treatments That Actually Help Knee Pain

Описание: At Arthritis Knee Pain Centers, we help people to find knee pain relief without the use of opioids or painful surgery.

These six treatments are at the core of us helping patients nationwide.

Knee Gel Injections
At Arthritis Knee Pain Centers, our primary treatment is knee gel injections, also called viscosupplementation, specifically tailored for people with osteoarthritis.

In this procedure, a gel-like substance is injected into the knee joint, replacing or supplementing the natural synovial fluid. This helps lubricate the joint and acts as a shock absorber. Our doctors use fluoroscopy, a live-motion X-ray, to see exactly where the injection goes, ensuring accuracy every time.

Genicular Artery Embolization
Now let’s talk about Genicular Artery Embolization, or GAE, another non-surgical option for people who experience residual knee pain and inflammation, even after you’ve tried other treatments. It may surprise you to learn that people who have had knee replacement surgery may also be good candidates for GAE.

GAE reduces inflammation, calms irritated nerves, and helps to reduce your knee pain with minimal downtime. If you think you may be a good candidate for GAE, call us or schedule a no-charge screening at arthritiskneepain.com.

Unloader Knee Braces
It’s important to note that non-injection treatments matter too. One of our key treatment protocols is a custom “unloader” knee brace. Our braces are specially designed to shift the weight-bearing load from the weaker portion of the knee to the healthier side.

Platelet-Rich Plasma Therapy (PRP)
Another advanced treatment we offer is Platelet Rich Plasma, or PRP, which is often used by professional athletes. The idea here is to harness your body’s healing mechanisms by concentrating your platelets (which contain growth factors) and injecting them into the knee joint to hasten the repair of damaged tissue, reduce inflammation, and improve joint function.

Back Braces (Supporting the Whole Body)
While our primary focus is on knees, we know that back pain often co-exists (especially when knee pain alters gait or posture). At Arthritis Knee Pain Centers, we also offer an advanced orthotic back brace for lower back pain relief, improved posture, and restoring mobility.

Nutraceutical Supplements
Good nutrition plays a big role in keeping your knees healthy. At Arthritis Knee Pain Centers, we offer specially formulated supplements that can help support your joints and reduce inflammation.
