Chronic knee pain can be debilitating, limiting your mobility and affecting your overall quality of life. Whether caused by osteoarthritis, ligament damage, or long-term wear and tear, knee pain can interfere with your ability to stay active and enjoy daily activities.
If you’ve been told that surgery is your only option, you may be relieved to learn that advanced non-surgical treatments can help alleviate pain and restore function.
At Envista Medical, we specialize in minimally invasive regenerative medicine treatments for people who want to explore every option before knee surgery. Our therapies work with the body's natural healing ability, without painkillers or invasive procedures.
What Causes Chronic Knee Pain?
Chronic knee pain can stem from various conditions, including:
- Osteoarthritis – The most common cause of knee pain, osteoarthritis occurs when the protective cartilage in the knee joint wears down over time, leading to pain, stiffness, and inflammation.
- Ligament Injuries – Damage to the ACL, MCL, or other knee ligaments can cause instability, swelling, and chronic pain.
- Meniscus Tears – The meniscus is a piece of cartilage that cushions the knee joint. Overuse or injury can lead to tears, resulting in long-lasting discomfort.
- Tendonitis – Inflammation of the tendons around the knee, often caused by repetitive movements or overuse, can lead to persistent pain.
- Bursitis – The small fluid-filled sacs (bursae) that cushion the knee joint can become inflamed, leading to pain and swelling.
Regenerative Medicine: A Non-Surgical Approach to Knee Pain Relief
At Envista Medical, we offer cutting-edge regenerative medicine treatments as a non-surgical option for knee pain. They give patients a non-surgical path to explore before surgery or long-term pain medication.
Human Cellular Tissue Therapy One of the most promising advancements in regenerative medicine, human cellular tissue therapy is a non-surgical treatment that delivers potent healing properties directly into the knee joint. This therapy uses mesenchymal signaling cells derived from donated umbilical cord tissue, which are rich in growth factors, cytokines, and extracellular matrix proteins that help regenerate damaged cartilage and reduce inflammation.
It is one more non-surgical option to discuss with our licensed medical team before you decide on knee replacement.
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy PRP therapy is another regenerative medicine treatment that works with the body's own healing response, right at the knee. This treatment involves extracting a small sample of the patient’s blood, concentrating the platelets and growth factors, and injecting the PRP solution into the knee joint.
PRP therapy:
- Uses a concentrated dose of your own platelets
- Carries growth factors your body uses in its natural healing response
- Is placed right inside the knee joint
- Takes very little time, with minimal downtime
Many people with mild to moderate osteoarthritis, meniscus tears and ligament injuries turn to PRP therapy as a non-surgical option.
