Knee pain affects approximately one in four individuals across the United States. Among the various causes of knee discomfort, osteoarthritis (OA) stands out as the most prevalent and debilitating form of arthritis. OA is characterized by the gradual breakdown of cartilage and meniscus within the knee joint, accompanied by underlying changes in bone structure. These degenerative alterations typically worsen over time, leading to persistent pain, stiffness and swelling in the affected joint.

For many individuals with OA, managing knee pain becomes a daily challenge, often necessitating long-term use of pain medications. In severe cases, surgical intervention may be recommended as a means of addressing the underlying issues. However, our primary focus is on providing conservative and noninvasive treatment options to alleviate knee pain and enhance quality of life.

At our practice, we have a team approach that offers a range of innovative therapies and cutting-edge treatments designed to target the root causes of knee pain. Our approach emphasizes personalized care tailored to each patient's unique needs and circumstances. Through a combination of regenerative medicine techniques, joint and muscle rehabilitation, and lifestyle modifications, we aim to restore mobility, improve mobility, and improve overall function.

Our goal is to empower patients to take control of their knee health and regain independence in their daily lives. By addressing pain and inflammation at the source, we help individuals avoid the need for long-term medication reliance and invasive surgical procedures. Instead, we focus on promoting natural healing and facilitating optimal joint function through integrative approaches.
