According to public health research, bone and joint disorders are among the leading causes of disability, with knee pain being the second most common chronic pain complaint. For those seeking alternatives to surgery, several therapies may provide relief.
Physical Therapy
Rehabilitative exercises are extremely beneficial for improving flexibility, joint support, and mobility. By strengthening the muscles and soft tissues surrounding the knee joint, physical therapy can help reduce stress on the joint and improve overall function. Consistency is key, as gradual strengthening and stretching often lead to long-term improvements.
BRACING
Knee braces provide external support and stability. They are designed to redistribute weight away from the most affected part of the knee, which may reduce discomfort during daily activities. Bracing can be particularly useful for those with arthritis or degenerative joint changes.
Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy (ESWT)
Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy (ESWT) is a non-invasive treatment that uses sound waves to stimulate healing in damaged tissues. It is commonly applied to musculoskeletal conditions, including chronic knee pain. ESWT may help by:
- Promoting blood circulation in the treated area
- Stimulating cell regeneration and tissue repair
- Reducing inflammation and discomfort
Treatment sessions are typically short, with minimal downtime. While multiple sessions may be required, many individuals experience gradual improvement in mobility and reduction of pain over time.
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Treatment
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) treatment makes use of concentrated platelets derived from a person’s own blood to promote natural healing. Platelets contain growth factors that stimulate tissue repair and regeneration, making PRP a promising option for managing chronic knee pain. This therapy may help by:
- Encouraging the body’s natural repair processes
- Supporting cartilage and soft tissue regeneration
- Reducing inflammation in the affected joint
PRP treatment is performed in a clinical setting and generally involves minimal downtime. Improvements are often gradual, with benefits becoming more noticeable in the weeks following treatment.
Non-surgical management of knee pain offers multiple avenues for relief without the need for invasive procedures. A consultation with a qualified healthcare professional is recommended to determine which treatment approach best suits individual needs and goals.
