BEST CHOICE
We are committed to personalizing treatment plans based on what is best for every individual’s UNIQUE circumstances to include symptoms, budget, lifestyle, and goals. Conservative (non-surgical) care is effective in resolving pain and injuries most of the time.
We will evaluate your health history, symptoms, and conduct functional movement tests to help determine the severity of your condition. In some cases, additional evaluation may be needed. This can involve X-rays to assess bone structure, MRI scans to visualize soft tissues, or ultrasound for specific conditions. These imaging methods help us achieve a more accurate diagnosis.
If your condition qualifies for conservative care options, we will present a treatment plan that includes only those modalities proven to be effective in treating your condition. This may include shockwave, PRP, light therapy, and fascial manipulation. You will be provided with at least treatment plan options and timelines with transparent out of pocket costs to you.
In general, studies suggest that approximately 60% to 80% of individuals with knee pain experience significant improvement and pain relief through conservative measures. These conservative treatments may include physical therapy, exercise, medication management, lifestyle modifications, and orthotic devices. Conservative care treatments work best when spread out over a 3 to 6-week period to allow adequate healing between treatment modalities.
If your symptoms and condition is not eligible for conservative care, or conservative care did not produce the desired outcomes, we start with an expert/accurate diagnosis from our medical doctor pain specialists. Our medical director (6-time patented medical device inventor) will personally conduct a 90-minute comprehensive evaluation to include reviewing available imaging resulting in an accurate diagnosis and personalized treatment plan options.
our goal is to resolve pain, improve strength, and improve range of motion without surgery. We are consistently successful in achieving this in over 90% of cases. In those rare cases in which surgery is necessary we will guide you by finding the right surgeon we trust for your particular injury and circumstances. We are your independent experts and not financially motivated to conduct surgeries.
Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy (ESWT), also known as Pulsewave, is a breakthrough technology for stimulating healing of chronic pain and musculoskeletal injuries. ESWT is also referred to as PulseWave therapy. In simple terms, both use high-energy sound waves outside of the body to improve blood flow and initiate the bodies’ own healing processes. This is effective in both chronic and acute injuries. There has been significant, successful, research on the efficacy of ESWT for injuries.
Shockwaves can accelerate the healing process in the body, they stimulate metabolism and improve blood circulation; allowing damaged tissue to regenerate and fully heal. When properly applied, shockwave therapy can take a chronic condition knee into the acute phase of healing. Chronic pain is caused by an incomplete healing process which must be disrupted (signaled) to be resolved (fully healed). ESWT has been used and studied in clinical applications since 1980, first emerging as a noninvasive procedure to breakup kidney stones. Treatment is noninvasive and virtually painless. The provider moves a handpiece around the pain zone and through the wand, low-energy shockwaves are transmitted into the body. The shockwaves stimulate metabolism and the blood circulation, breaking up scar tissues, and resulting in the body’s own healing processes being accelerated. Studies suggest that at least six shockwave treatments are necessary to see the positive results expressed in clinical studies.
Clinical Studies:
Platelets are small biological packages that normally circulate in the blood. They contain many growth factors. The growth factors promote healing by encouraging the growth of news blood vessels to help heal muscles, tendons, ligaments, and cartilage. This healing ability can be harnessed by drawing a small amount of your blood, placing it in a centrifuge to concentrate the platelets, and re-injecting the concentrated platelet-rich plasma (PRP) where your body needs help healing muscles, joints, or tendons. Because joint linings, tendons and ligaments receive very limited blood supply, injecting them with platelet-rich plasma can encourage the growth of new blood vessels and has been shown to accelerate healing and preventing the need for many surgeries.
The body’s ability to repair and replace damaged cartilage, tendon, or other specialized tissue in adults is limited. Injured joints or tendons can be a source of chronic pain and can limit activities. PRP therapy can harness the body’s own healing ability and resources to allow more complete healing than other alternatives. PRP is a natural treatment that uses only your own blood with no other additives.
Clinical Studies:
Fascial manipulation represents a wide array of scientifically-validated treatment techniques and models utilizing manual therapy that targets muscles and fascia in order to resolve pain, musculoskeletal injuries, and improve range of motion and strength. We utilize Functionally Optimized Massage ™ (FOM) which has effectively combined these techniques and models proven effective for specific injuries; however, no one technique has been proven effective on all 150 plus musculoskeletal conditions except our FOM.
FOM includes a comprehensive evaluation of the musculoskeletal system to identify range of motion and strength restrictions as well as pain reproducibility. We then direct treatment toward those fascial distortions, the root cause of the symptoms being experienced. With an aim to reduce these fascial distortions while improving motion control and strength. With improved movement, joints and adjacent soft tissues become relieved from the strain which leads to decreased pain as well as increased healing capability in soft tissue.

“Based on the evidence synthesis there is Level III evidence for intradiscal injections of PRP and MSCs, whereas the evidence is considered Level IV for lumbar facet joint, lumbar epidural, and sacroiliac joint injections of PRP, (on a scale of Level I through V) using a qualitative modified approach to the grading of evidence based on best evidence synthesis.”https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/30717500/
Inflammation can play a role in the development and exacerbation of knee pain. When an injury or irritation occurs in the knee, the body’s immune response triggers an inflammatory process as a protective mechanism. Inflammation involves the release of various chemicals and immune cells to the affected area, which can lead to pain, swelling, redness, and warmth. The goal of functional medicine testing is to identify and reduce inflammation sources to include food sensitivities, environmental pollutants, and allergies. An inflammatory response to an injury is exacerbated by diet and lifestyle choices causing inflammation that most patients are unaware of.
In the context of knee pain, inflammation can affect different structures, including the muscles, ligaments, tendons, and joints in the knee. Some ways in which inflammation can contribute to knee pain are:
Muscle inflammation: Strained or overworked muscles in the knee can become inflamed, causing pain and stiffness. Inflammatory chemicals, such as prostaglandins, can sensitize nerve endings and increase pain perception.
Ligament and tendon inflammation: Inflammation of the ligaments and tendons in the knee can result from acute injuries or chronic overuse. Inflammatory processes can cause swelling, pain, and reduced mobility.
In some cases, inflammation in the knee can be self-limiting and subside with rest and appropriate care. However, in other instances, chronic inflammation may persist, leading to ongoing or recurrent knee pain.
Managing knee pain associated with inflammation typically involves a combination of treatments. These may include rest, ice or heat therapy, over-the-counter anti-inflammatory medications (e.g., NSAIDs), physical therapy, exercises to improve flexibility and strength, and, in some cases, corticosteroid injections. It is crucial to consult with a healthcare professional for a proper evaluation and personalized treatment plan for knee pain related to inflammation.
