Frequently Asked Questions
Results vary based on the patients age, weight, overall health, treatment history and commitment but most people tend to start feeling improvements after a couple weeks.
Yes, many of our patients are able to eventually get off their pain medications. We require patients to work with their prescribing physician to achieve this in the safest manner possible. Always follow your prescribing physicians’ orders when it comes to tapering and dosage changes.
Patients at this advanced stage can still get pain relief, it just takes a stronger commitment, great diligence to the protocol and more treatments typically. If surgery is truly your best option, we will happily refer you to local Orthopedic Doctors that we know and trust.
This really depends on various factors such as the patients age, severity of damage to the knee joint, treatment history, weight, other medical conditions etc. Generally, the treatments cost a small fraction of the price of knee surgery and can be more cost-effective than continuous steroid and hyaluronic acid injections.
Regenerative injections have better outcomes in pain reduction and increased functionality at 3, 6, and 12 month follow-ups compared to steroids (cortisone) and hyaluronic acid (“gel shots”)
This is impossible to answer without knowing your medical history, treatment history, diet, lifestyle, imaging reports, and conducting an extensive in office orthopedic examination.

Common Questions
Yes, walking is an excellent exercise for knee pain. Walking provides minimal stress and load on the knee joint, while increasing blood flow. It is important to be consistent with walking with the goal of at least 10,000 steps daily for most people.
Knee pain can be caused by many different things, which is why it is very important to get evaluated by a doctor to find out the source of the pain. Sometimes imaging such as an x-ray or MRI may be needed to figure out what the problem is. The most common cause of knee pain is osteoarthritis. This is typically experienced later in life and is a degenerative joint condition in which the supporting connective tissue begins to wear out. Other common causes of knee pain include: meniscus tears, ligament tears, tendon tears, and inflammation.
One of the most basic and helpful home remedies is simply icing your knee. This helps temporarily take away pain and relieve inflammation. Another popular strategy is rotating between ice and heat. Typically 30 seconds of ice and 2 minutes of heat repeated 3 times in a row once per day.
Repeated steroid injections (ex cortisone), chronic NSAID use (ibuprofen, aspirin, naproxen, diclofenac etc) and excess weight gain (obesity) are all extremely detrimental to the health and longevity of the knee joint and should be avoided.
This varies from person to person, but generally speaking extreme pain 7/10 or higher on a daily basis with decreased function and limited activities you can complete. Additionally, x-ray and MRI findings showing advanced deterioration and designation of the connective tissue supporting the joint would all be good indications to consider a knee replacement.
This depends on what type of knee pain you are experiencing and the severity. For severe cases where there is a complete tear or advanced degeneration, surgery will be the fastest way to alleviate the pain. For non-surgical cases, platelet rich plasma will be the fastest and most effective long term option to relieve knee pain.
