Knee Pain

Alternatives to Steroids and Surgery

Discover advanced treatments for knee pain and related conditions without any rehab or recovery.  Regenerative therapies focus on repairing and regenerating damaged tissue by activating the body’s natural healing mechanisms. Unlike treatments that only address symptoms, these advanced approaches target the underlying causes of pain and dysfunction. They can provide longer-lasting results, improved mobility, and significant pain relief, empowering patients to reclaim their quality of life. Stem cell therapies include regenerative solutions like PRP, amniotic fluid, or exosomes as groundbreaking alternatives to conventional options, often with fewer risks and longer lasting results. 

​

Steroid, Cortisone, or gel injections may offer temporary relief, but those injections simply mask the pain without healing the root cause of pain and can lead to joint degradation or other complications with repeated use.

​

Many knee injuries do not require the intervention of a sports medicine physician or orthopedic surgeon, as regenerative therapies can restore function and alleviate pain effectively. This non-invasive approach not only preserves the integrity of the joint but also helps patients return to their active lifestyles more quickly and with fewer complications.  Stem cell therapy offers a groundbreaking alternative to joint replacement by promoting natural tissue repair and increased range of motion and flexibility.
