Is Chronic Knee Pain Affecting Your Life?
If you experience chronic knee pain due to a previous injury, arthritis, or simple wear and tear, then you should consider all treatment options that provide you relief prior to accepting any big scale surgical procedures. If opting for an operation, surgery is only the first step, which is followed by months of recovery in order to achieve a portion of what once was. You may continue to be restricted in your day-to-day activities even after your surgery. For this reason, you should lean about alternative options to avoid going under the knife, that you may have not previously heard of.
What Are My Alternative Treatment Options?
You may be a perfect candidate for PRP Therapy. Paired with a customized physical therapy program, we can assist in bringing you back to your desired activity level, as the circumstances allow. Our recovery process may allow you to cut off months from your estimated recovery time.
Remember, Platelet-rich plasma is derived from a sample of the patient's own blood. The therapeutic injections contain plasma with a higher concentration of platelets than is found in normal blood, which allows the enhanced and speedy recovery of the affected area.
Another treatment option to consider with your physician is Adult Stem Cell Therapy. In this treatment method samples from your own blood, similar to PRP Therapy, are injected back into your knee to initiate healing and recovery. Adult stem cells, or autologous stem cells, are used in regenerative medicine to treat patients with chronic pain and tissue degeneration.
