Knee Pain
Treatment

Knee pain doesn't have to mean surgery. Our regenerative treatments help restore cartilage health and joint function-so you can get back to the activities you love.

Knee Conditions We Treat

The knee is a complex joint. We treat a wide range of conditions using regenerative medicine.

Knee Osteoarthritis

Cartilage degeneration causing pain, stiffness, and bone-on-bone friction.

Meniscus Tears

Damaged shock-absorbing cartilage causing pain, catching, and locking.

Ligament Injuries

ACL, MCL, PCL sprains and partial tears causing instability and pain.

Knee Bursitis

Inflamed fluid sacs causing swelling, warmth, and pain around the kneecap.

Patellar Tendinitis

"Jumper's knee" - damage to the tendon connecting kneecap to shinbone.

Chondromalacia

Softening and breakdown of cartilage under the kneecap (patella).

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, many causes of knee pain respond well to regenerative treatments. PRP, the Regenokine Program and other biologic therapies can improve cartilage health, resolve inflammation, and restore function-helping many patients avoid or significantly delay knee replacement surgery.

Common causes include osteoarthritis, meniscus tears, ligament injuries (ACL, MCL), bursitis, tendinitis, and cartilage defects. The knee is a complex joint, so proper diagnosis is essential for effective treatment.

Most patients notice improvement within 4-6 weeks, with continued progress over 3-6 months as tissue health improves. Results are typically long-lasting because PRP promotes actual healing rather than just masking symptoms.

For most patients, yes. Steroid injections provide temporary relief but can accelerate cartilage breakdown with repeated use. Regenerative treatments like PRP actually promote tissue repair and have longer-lasting benefits without the degenerative side effects.
