A Multi-Tier Approach to Knee Pain Treatment
If you’re suffering from chronic knee pain that prevents you from working, exercising, enjoying your hobbies, or spending time with family and friends, you may need to visit a chiropractor for a therapeutic knee pain treatment plan. Your knee pain treatment in Chicago should be a comprehensive, multi-tiered approach that includes physical therapy, laser therapy, and regenerative medicine in order to ensure the most successful, long-lasting results.
Physical Therapy
Physical therapy is a gentle, effective method of knee pain treatment that can reduce pain and inflammation, restore mobility and flexibility, improve circulation, and help you get back on your feet without long-lasting or chronic debilitation. Most physical therapy consists of a combination of physical modalities done under the instruction of a physical therapist or physical therapist assistant, as well as therapeutic exercises and stretches to be done at home. The most effective methods of physical therapy for knee pain treatment in Chicago include:
- Stretches and exercises
- Ice and heat
- Ultrasound therapy
- Electrical nerve or muscle stimulation
Laser Therapy
Laser therapy is an incredibly successful, non-invasive knee pain treatment in Chicago. Laser therapy relies on the use of low-level laser lights beamed at the affected area of the knee. The laser’s photons can penetrate deep within the knee’s tissues and trigger chemical changes within the body that stimulate nerve and cell regeneration and tissue regrowth. Laser therapy is also very effective at reducing inflammation, improving circulation, and reducing chronic pain. Each session may last between 10-30 minutes, and you may need as many as 20-30 sessions to see long-term results.
Regenerative Medicine
There are two primary regenerative medicine treatments that act as effective knee pain treatments: platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections, and human-cell tissue products (HCTP) therapy. For PRP injections, our nurse practitioner will draw a small amount of your blood and then put it in a centrifuge to isolate the platelets. The concentrated platelet solution is then injected directly into the affected area of the knee. The platelets secrete growth factors that boost cell division, prompt your tissues to regenerate, reduce pain, stop the progression of diseases like arthritis, and speed up the healing process.
HCTP is a tissue allograft that utilizes stem cells harvested from either umbilical cord tissue, Wharton’s jelly, or from bone marrow. These cells are then injected into the joint of the knee to stimulate the body’s own healing process.
