About Knee & Joint Conditions
Knee osteoarthritis, chronic knee pain, meniscus irritation, patellofemoral pain syndrome, and joint stiffness respond well to a combination of knee decompression, shockwave, and laser therapy.
Conditions We Help With
Knee & Joint Conditions We Treat for New Smyrna Beach Patients
Knee Osteoarthritis
Knee osteoarthritis is the gradual breakdown of the cartilage that cushions your knee joint, leading to pain, stiffness, swelling, and a grinding sensation that typically worsens with activity and improves with rest. It's one of the most common causes of chronic knee pain in adults over 50, and it tends to progress slowly if the underlying joint stress isn't addressed. Many patients delay treatment until the pain starts limiting walking, stairs, or exercise. Knee decompression therapy gently unloads pressure from the joint surface, giving irritated cartilage and surrounding tissue room to calm down and function more comfortably. We combine this with targeted strengthening guidance to support the joint long-term, offering a non-surgical path to staying active.
Chronic Knee Pain
Chronic knee pain is ongoing discomfort that persists for weeks or months, often from a combination of joint wear, soft tissue irritation, tendon strain, or alignment issues higher up the leg. It can make everyday movement like walking, climbing stairs, or standing from a seated position noticeably more difficult. Because chronic knee pain has so many possible causes, an accurate evaluation is the key first step to real relief. Our knee pain treatment program starts by pinpointing the true source of your pain, whether it's the joint itself, surrounding tendons, or referred pain from the hip, and builds a targeted, non-surgical plan around it, often combining decompression, laser, or shockwave therapy depending on what your knee actually needs.
Meniscus Irritation
The meniscus is a wedge of cartilage that cushions and stabilizes the knee joint, and irritation or minor tearing here can cause pain, swelling, stiffness, or a catching or locking sensation with certain movements. It's commonly linked to overuse, sudden twisting motions, or age-related wear that makes the tissue more susceptible to injury. Many patients notice meniscus symptoms flare up specifically with squatting, pivoting, or deep knee bends. Knee decompression therapy helps reduce the compressive pressure on the joint that aggravates an irritated meniscus, supporting a more comfortable range of motion while the tissue heals. For patients with more significant tears, we'll help coordinate the right next steps as part of your broader care plan.
Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome
Patellofemoral pain syndrome causes an aching or sharp discomfort around or behind the kneecap, often triggered by activities like squatting, climbing stairs, kneeling, or sitting with a bent knee for long periods (sometimes called runner's knee). It's frequently related to how the kneecap tracks within its groove, which can be affected by muscle imbalances, alignment, or overuse. Left unaddressed, it can make regular exercise or even a flight of stairs feel discouraging. Our knee pain treatment program evaluates the underlying mechanics driving your kneecap pain rather than just treating the symptom, often combining manual therapy with guided strengthening to correct tracking issues and take pressure off the joint for lasting relief.
